Lucky... 0 #29 August 19, 2006 QuoteQuoteQuoteI'm right...and the son did it. The problem there is the ransom note..... he was too young to write it to the degree it was. Not a problem if you assume the father or mother helped to cover up. However, he was pretty young to have inflicted all the damage he caused, and would be unlikely to have added a sexual assault. Yep, I'm thinking the son is clear, but everyone is back into the mix now taht it appears the kook isn't likely the one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It might say a lot, were your observation accurate. maybe you should flip thru cables channels for a day with a stop watch and see how many hours this gets.. then compare that to the sound bites on Iraq.. yes the public and the media's priorities are right fucked..____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Lucky... 0 #31 August 19, 2006 I'm not sure what your point is. The Iraq War is a joke, this killing is real and sad, but only one murder as compared to 2600 on the US side versus 100,000 ??? Iraqi civilians..... I'm not sure what is the point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #32 August 19, 2006 Does anyone know if he's been brought back to the US yet? It occurs to me that his confession might have been a way to ensure he'd get sent back here, because he'd prefer to deal with the US legal system than the one in Thailand. Didn't he leave this country to avoid child pornography charges? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't he leave this country to avoid child pornography charges? That's exactly what I was thinking. He has been working on a manuscript on the Ramsey case so of course he has a lot of information that the general public wouldn't know about. He may have plead guilty just to be extradited to the U.S. where he can say he as being tortured or whatever and be found innocent ... and not have to deal with the Thailand prison system. Besides, it's highly unlikely that the U.S. will extradite a U.S. citizen to Thailand.This ad space for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrig 1 #36 August 20, 2006 QuoteI would like to be the first to say that Karr is just pleading guilty because he has a deranged fascination with the case. __________________________________ Karr might be guilty but, not for the murder of the Ramsey girl, I don't believe. I tend to agree with you. Especially after closely watching his interview and his body language. BUT, the police have to follow any possible lead. I do believe, Karr is crazy as a bed-bug.

tbrown 26 #37 August 20, 2006 This guy Karr is such a looper I'm not sure he killed JonBenet at all. Going to have to see some real evidence, something more than a press conference in Thailand by a guy who looks sedated. But anyway, lucky us. Thank God, now we can see more pictures and vids of little JonBenet for the next five years. How could we ever get along without that ? Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

He drank champagne, beer (he even crushed the beer can with his hand) and wine with his white tablecloth meal, on the flight back to the U.S. They said, they were 'trying to loosen him up, hoping he'd talk'. How stupid! It wouldn't hold up. The investigator who allowed that is an idiot. You are so right though. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hungarianchick 0 #39 August 20, 2006 I found it very odd that he would confess after 10 years. But then again I would confess to anything to avoid having my ass thrown in jail in Thailand. He knew he would get extradited if he confessed. A US prison looks much more attractive. "I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food."

rwieder 0 #40 August 21, 2006 QuoteI never followed it too closely, but I "guessed" the brother did it in a rage over pageant queen sis, and the parents covered it up protecting their only surviving child. BINGO! Steveorino. The two things that do puzzle me about this particular old chap is number one: his strange physical likeness to Lee Harvey Oswald, and what whould be his M.O. for copping out to something he never did?

And it appears as though you were correct: No Charges to be filed against Karr in the Ramsey Case I had a feeling he wasnt the one I was 99% sure he wasn't the one. His comments when first caught in Thailand just didn't add up. My theory: He wanted the notoriety, or, he wanted to get out of Thailand because their jails or justice system are arbitrarily cruel. That's just a guess. His family should go ahead and sell his story, but the justice dept should take the proceeds to pay for his damn champagne flight to the U.S. and his return flight to hell.

tigra 0 #47 August 28, 2006 I agree- my guess is he was into some nasty sh** in Thailand, and knew it was only a matter of time before the authorities (or worse) caught up with him there. Confessing to such a notorious crime (which he knew he couldn't be convicted for) was a great way to get a free trip back to the states. And apparently the child porn charges against him here are only misdemeanors! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davedlg 0 #49 August 28, 2006 As someone who has paid my fair share of taxes in boulder county, this whole thing pisses me off. When this all first started, I thought that after all of the bad publicity the Boulder police have recieved in this case, they had to have some pretty good evidence against him to bring him in on these charges. Then he was given a free flight home to the US, in first class no less. Then the media was full of images of a state owened plane making the special trip to california just to pick him up. And now it turns out there is almost no way he did it. How many tax dollars were spent bringing this guy to Boulder? So he knew some facts of the case that wern't known to the public...even though 90% of everything else he said didn't add up. It sounds like he may have just gotten lucky on part of his "confession". I would have thought the Boulder PD would have done their homework better on this one before taking such expensive steps under the microscope of the whole world. This is yet another black eye for an already tarnished organization They were already the laughing stock of the country, now they are the laughing stock of the world. I gotta laugh about Karr himself though, I mean WTF? He got lots of noteriety for this, that's for sure. But now that he has been exposed as a creep and a pedophile and an all around weirdo, he will never be treated with any kind of respect by anyone. Give it another year and no one will even know his name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #50 August 28, 2006 What I really don't understand is, why didn't they fly to Thailand and question him there? The idiot investigator who plied him with booze, to get him to 'loosen-up' and chirp like a canary, should have his head examined. You just don't do that. A statement taken while someone is 'under the influence' of booze, is not acceptable. One of the 'former' DA's Investigators questioned those tactics also. None of this, is helping the image of the Boulder police or law enforcement in general. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
