I have been following this story and am so glad. I only wish Patsy had been alive to see this all unfold, although her husband said that she was informed, before her death, that they had a good lead on this man. RIP Patsy and Jon Benet.
I was surprised/glad when I heard the story.
I wish they found him sooner.
Think of how the family felt all these years, not only loosing their
daughter but because they were under such scrutiny.
Such a shock to me, because I hadn't thought about that case in so long. I am glad that they found him, although he is saying that her death was an accident, which I can't quite believe. He sounds like quite a sick person. I'll be interested to see how this all pans out.
I still can't stand to see candy canes along a sidewalk during Christmas .
That poor family :( That beautiful child had a lovely name and a bright smile, and was destined for a more positive future.
I so pray that she and her Mother are re-united!!!! :(
Poor little mite - not much of a life was it?
JMO - to dress her up like a beauty queen will encourage a sicko to "fall in love" with her(the suspect said he had fallen in love with her).
I remember seeing galleries of her photos at the time...always clothed, but as close to soft kiddie porn as you might ever get.
I wish she could have just been a kid - she might be alive today!
:(
Exactly! Always seemed so wrong to me tooQuote:

She needed to be a child not a star. (we all see what happens to children in the lime light *cough Michael Jackson cough*)
however, I am glad they caught this guy. I hope he gets everything that is coming to him. Do they have the death penalty there? (i can't remember where they were from lol) I hope so and I hope he gets it. There is NO excuse for what he did. if it was an accident why did he run from the law for so long? I hope he goes to hell :mad:
I agree Catty.
Its sad her mom didnt get to see the case closed. But at least she is with her daughter now.
Its so sad what sickos will do.
But just in defence some kids do like doing pagents and stuff. I know my sister loves being in front of the camera and shes 7.
Catty1, I am with you on that too! When it happened and they put out her pictures, I said then that someone saw her as a adult being made up like she was. She was being displayed as a sex kitten instead of the innocent child she was...
I heard an interview today with someone who is a former FBI profiler, and he was asked to join the newer investigative team on this case a few years back. He refused.
And the comments on the arrest - the suspect's confession apparently included that he had picked JonBenet up from school, then raped her.
This was Christmas Day - there was no school.
Some sickos get a thrill out of confessing to a notorious crime.
And there is speculation about suicide; apparently Patsy's attorney had a note to be released only after Patsy's death. Apparently she wanted to protect her daughter - and was afraid that if the 'suicide' truth came out, she would have had to return all her daughter's trophies, which would have broken her heart. :eek: :eek: :eek:
Added to that was the statement that JonBenet was apparently distraught because she had gained 5 pounds over Thanksgiving and Christmas, and feared she wouldn't fit into a certain costume for an upcoming pageant.
I don't know who the worse sickos are....although the parents didn't murder Jon, she was certainly abused and miserable. That poor kid. Distraught over weight gain at AGE 6!!!
God help us all.
Now I really feel bad for the parents, since they actually didn't do it. I couldn't imaging losing a child AND everyone thinking you did it when you didn't
What that is crazy.Quote:

Looks more like they found a truly disturbed individual who wants his 15 minutes of fame...... :rolleyes:
I'd like to hope that they caught the right suspect after so many years, but I won't jump to any conclusions just yet.
He does seem to have some mental problems and a sort of obsession with JonBenet, but I heard somewhere that during the time of JonBenet's murder, he was with his now ex-wife on Christmas when it happened?
I don't know, I'd like to see what other evidence they find connecting him to the murder.
Why do people get off on confession to crimes they didn't commit.
Her poor family, it must be like being ripped open all over again.
The cops are insinuating that there are specific details they didn't release that this guy somehow knows. I'll reserve my opinion for later.
Yes, the suspect apparently did email a man who had written a book about the JonBenet case, and the emails contained details of the death never made public.
JUST TOO WEIRD.
And the authorities are on record as saying there is a lot of work to do yet - and to not jump to any conclusions.

Whether he murdered JonBenet or not, he is a very sick individual.
I believe this guy is lying.He seems as creepy as they come, but is not
telling the truth.IMO
I dunno, it all seems a little odd, but I guess we'll see more once the facts come out.
My question is, what was he doing with the Thai police anyway - did he go to them to confess to the crime, or did the confession come out after they had already picked him up for doing something illegal in thailand? After reading a couple of the articles linked from the post that Zoey made, especially about his picking up teens and such, i wonder if he wasn't picked up by the Thai police for something similar over there - and just decided that a prison in the US would be better than a prison in Thailand? So, confess to a high profilie crime he didn't commit, to get his 15-mins-of-fame and get extradited to the US.
I dunno... it's all really sad anyway, especially if this guy was picking up teens, and going to be teaching grade 2 level kids :(
I heard somewhere he had been in contact with the mom could she have given the un disclosed details? They make it sound like he was part ofd the Ramsey inner circle.
Maybe he truly did love her and didnt want this to go unclosed or forgotten about so he confessed in order to get it in the media again.
OR maybe hes just a sicko freak and gets pleasure out of saying he did it..and wanted to be on tv and all of the news.
For us old enough to remember,,
Looks like Lee Harvey Oswald..
I have some feelings about this AH....
I do not think he did the crime.
Check this out....Usually molesters that prey on girls are big ugly lloking guys.
This punk doesn't look all that menacing.
I think there is a connection as to how he go the info as to the specifics of the murder-I think that the prof he was emailing may have spilled the beans.,
JMO
I was thinking the same thing. I was only 3 at the time, but have seen it on the news many, many times. He looks so much like Oswald that it's scary.Quote:

But too many inconsistencies in his confession. By the way, I think the 13 year old girl someone mentioned earlier was his 1st wife. And his second wife who now says that he was with her during Xmas was only 16 when he married her. I don't know about the big ol' ugly guys theory - I think this fruit looks prety much like a Pedofile (if there is a "look") to me.
I agree Bobs Dad, I dont think looks have a whole lot to do with it. I live in Colorado so this has been on our local news a lot. They had a press conference with the DA of Boulder the other day. Of course she could only say "No Comment" to the questions asked. It was a waste of time IMO.
This guy that says he did it, has moved all over the country teaching in different schools. Also, he said he drugged JonBenet but there was no evidence of drugs when they did the autospy. In Boulder, they are waiting for the guy to come back to check if his handwriting matches the note that was found at the murder and the DNA. They are going to look pretty "stupid" in Boulder if this isn't the guy.
Excerpts from cbc.ca and msnbc:
Quote:
JonBenet had the breeding to make a beauty queen. Her father, John, is a handsome former navy officer and a private pilot, but just as important, in a field where little girls compete in gowns that can cost $1,000, he is rich. Access Graphics, the computer company he helped found and still runs after its sale to Lockheed, just reached $1 billion in sales, an achievement proudly noted in the Christmas letter his wife, Patsy, sent to friends last year. (Other Ramsey family news: JonBenet's brother Burke "is a busy fourth grader where he shines in math and spelling ..."; "JonBenet is enjoying her first year in real school ... She continues to enjoy participating in talent and modeling pageants.") Patsy herself was Miss West Virginia in 1977, as was JonBenet's aunt Pamela, two years later—making them only the second pair of sisters ever to compete in the Miss America pageant. NEWSWEEK Contributing Editor Frank Deford, who was a Miss America judge the year JonBenet's mother competed, said his notes show that she listed herself as 5 feet 6, 110 pounds, measuring 35-23-35 ("although that's what they all wrote," Deford added). He wrote down that she "speaks well," but described her as "a little automaton." Twenty years later, photographer Randy Simon, who put together a portfolio of JonBenet's pictures, noted that the girl "could hold a pose forever.""Denver lawyer Larry Pozner, past president of the National Association of Criminal Defence Lawyers, said there are "serious questions" about the case.
No big surprise that his DNA didn't match that found at the scene of the crime. That guy is just plain WHACKO, but they have dropped the charges against him. I hope they get him on something else - he DOES need to be locked up - Yikes!
They are shipping Mr Karr to California, where he is facing long-ago charges of child pornography.
They'll get him on something.
We could always send him back to Thailand.
Yes, then he could continue with that sex-change operation he had started to undergo.
Nah, I wouldn't wish that wacko on any members of the human race.
I was thinking more along the lines of a Thai jail cell.You'd have to be a very deranged individual to get the attention of the thai police.
