JonBenet Ramsey's Murderer Arrested (?)

A fate which, to avoid it, I would confess to any or all of the following:

[li]killing JonBenet Ramsey[/li][li]killing Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman[/li][li]running Princess Diana’s limo into a tunnel barricade, then stopping and backing over her[/li][li]kidnapping the Lindbergh baby[/li][li]whacking Jimmy Hoffa and hiding him in my root cellar for the past few decades[/li][li]making ships disappear in the Bermuda Triangle[/li][li]being the Blair Witch[/li][/ul]

What is the evidence that he was facing any prison time in Thailand? he was arrested at his apartment and teaching second grade. I understand he was wanted for charges in the states, but does anyone have a cite that he was in any trouble in Thailand?

Check the pit thread you started, someone provided a cite for this same question, which you posed there as well.

And I responded to it in the pit. That initial report was erroneous. “Escaping Thai Prison” is no longer a viable theory.

Well, in his “confession” he states that he picked up JonBenet from school on the day of the crime, that he had time enough alone with her to drug, rape and kill her… So if you’re letting someone pick your kid up from school, you must know them fairly well and trust them, right? Not to mention having them hanging out at your house.

And yet, John Ramsey says he doesn’t know the man, or at least, he’s not sure. Are you fucking kidding me?

The guy is also claiming that he has sent numerous letters to the Ramseys over the last 10 years, apologizing for killing their daughter.

This is all bullshit, probably concoted with help from Michael Tracey at CU Boulder, who has been begging to share in the noteriety of this case for years.

What makes you think the parents knew anything about it? Cite?

Cite that John Ramsey knows this guy? Why does his statement sound so incredible to you?

Which has no bearing on whether the Ramseys ever knowingly llowed this guy access to to their daughter.

So basically, you’ve got nothing to back up your accusation.

Or perhaps it’s his 2001 conviction in absentia of having a hard drive full of child porn?

It is almost humorous just how much of a pedophile vibe this guy gives off. I know you can’t really tell if someone’s a pedo just by looking at them but man…this guy…you can tell just by looking at him.

Diogenes, you’re killing me.

What makes me think the parents knew anything about this guy picking their kid up from school, bringing her home, and doing terrible things to her in the basement? Oh, I don’t know, maybe the fact that she was never reported missing from school or home. No one has ever said that the girl was kidnapped from school and taken anywhere. She was at home.

And as far as John Ramsey not knowing the guy- well, if he doesn’t then the guy is lying about picking the girl up and spending time in the Ramsey home, isn’t he? And he probably never sent those letters, either- think about it: if you were under suspicion of murdering your own daughter, and you started getting letters years ago from some psycho claiming that he did it, wouldn’t you have reported it immediately? I sure would have, and then called a press conference to keep the heat on the Boulder DA.

This stinks, bottom line.

And since when does wierdo equal pedophile? Maybe the guy’s just cursed with bad genes in the looks department…

The guy isn’t claiming he kidnapped her. He’s saying he walked her home after school, that the parents weren’t home, that he explored the house and that he left and came back later.

How do you figure?

They probably got all kinds of letters from all kinds of sickos. That doesn’t mean they knew the senders. My understanding is the police were fully aware of every communication the Ramseys were receiving from this guy (which I believe only started a few months ago, not years).

She was found dead Christmas morning. School was not in session. So, maybe he walked her home from school a week or two before, but he decidedly did NOT do it the day of the crime.

BTW, local (KCAL9) news says that John Karr’s ex-wife and family both believe he’s innocent. The ex says he was with her–in Alabama, not Colorado–during Christmas 1996. Talking heads on the news don’t think the ex has reason to protect him now, and think this casts a shadow on his confession’s authenticity. I would argue she might want to protect their three sons, but who knows.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Is he claiming that he did it the day of the crime?

Yep.

Seriously, I think the closer they look at Michael Tracey, the more this will look like a false confession. He’s already falsely accused one innocent man of the crime in one of his JonBenet “documentaries.”

Tracey reminds me of a guy who sets a fire so he can be the hero when it’s discovered and he helps to put it out.

Link to footage of Karr saying “I chloroformed her and raped her”, please. I have not been able to find such footage, and I have looked, and scoured 2 other sites that are studying this case in depth as well as various news stories I found on my own. The point I am making is, the person saying he said such things is a Thai official who admits he was not present for the confession. That is fishy.

Why is it fishy?

I am not ruling out the possibility that Karr did indeed kill JonBonet, but to me it is looking more and more likely that he is a pedophilic nutjob in need of a nice long stay in the asylum. You have been lamenting how wild the speculations were with regards to the Ramseys, yet you cannot concede that an official might crave the limelight enough to pretend to be in the know, in order to get camera time? As I said, find me footage of those words coming out of Karr’s mouth and I will have some of my doubts lessened. There is still the question of the alibi his ex wife (who fears him, yet is speaking up) offers, that he was not in Colorado. She claims she can prove this, and has spoken up publicly saying so.

I’m not saying Karr’s story doesn’t have problems but I don’t see that as a reason to question the honesty of the Thai investigator as to what the story is, Karr has apparently been telling this story for quite a while over the internet. Just because it doesn’t seem to add up doesn’t mean it’s not what he’s really saying.

I think the biggest problem is the wife saying he was in Alabama at the time. Hopefully, the DNA will clear this up one way or the other. If he didn’t do it, I’m starting to think that he may have just constructed some kind elaborate fantasy over the years that he’s the one who did this. He may even believe it himself. It wouldn’t have to be about seeking attention (as far as I know he wasn’t trying to do that before he was arrested) and the speculation that he was trying to escape Thai prison is a non-starter for multiple reasons but I think it’s possible he’s just lost in his own very sick bizarro world and that he might have actually deluded himself into believing it’s the truth.

Time will tell.

I don’t see it myself. I was thinking he looks more like a guy who’d shoot the President in order to impress Jessica Alba.

You mean wouldn’t shoot, right? Because there’s way less of them around.

Why would she be walking home from school alone, and going to her house, alone, at age six? Would not she not be walking home with her brother at least?
