Edited to add: I'm happy to see the Feds working on this as no one would believe Boulder...I assume they'll believe the Feds if there is a link found between Karr and Ramsey.

"What they're looking at is he still may know more or be part of a conspiracy."

I think this is what we have maintained all along.

The best thing people can do, imo, is not give him another second of attention, other than a jail cell and keeping him away from children.

Biz and Eve, this is what I had said in an earlier post.

..."And if that means he has to be in the public eye, he'll do that."~Moriarty

I'm glad to hear this. I think he's doing the right thing.~mBm

And Biz, I agree with you completely when you say,

"I am so glad to hear that John Ramsey said he is willing to be in the public eye. That is the attention this case needs. It still bothers me that Karr signed his yearbook STBC and also that he probably drugged and strangled his first wife. It is hard to find someone to fit that criteria which also fits the case so well. I'm not ready to give up on Karr."~Biz

The things you mention are only a few of the things I can't dismiss about Karr. Such as the similarity of his handwriting to the RN, the prolific use of explanation points in one of his yearbook signings, his first wife's claim that he signed letters to her with S.B.T.C., the sighting of the dark-colored (black?) Jaguar near the murder scene, his proficiency with a computer (porn pals on the Internet?)--these are only a few of the things that come to mind.

Maybe the investigation is heading in the right direction at last!

There definitely IS a way he could have known who JonBenet was. He was deep into computers and pornography. He could very easily have found something on the Internet about the Pageants, or, he could have known about JB through the pageant she entered in Atlanta. Or, he could have found an Internet buddy with similar interests to his (child porn) who was aware of JB through all her pageant competitions. There are many ways he could have learned about her.

As for his being in Colorado, even though his ex-wife furnished him an alibi for Christmas 1996 at first, she then hesitated on that when she apparently was unable to offer proof of her claim. If he wasn't with his wife and family, why couldn't he have been in Colorado? Especially if he had "business" to attend to there?

Yes, he is revolting and repulsive. But the person who killed JonBenet was both, and even more.

His neighbor said he remembered that year that Karr's wife and children had gone on ahead and that Karr told him he would be meeting them in Atlanta. Did he ever really go to Atlanta that year?

He may not have had the Jag registered to his name until '97, but that doesn't mean he wasn't driving it.

I think he's a sick nut who wanted attention, but I do think they need to confirm his whereabouts on the 25th. His handwriting looked very similar to me.

To me Karr has never been a typical "false confessor". I've not found one case where a false confessor, especially in a famous case, doesn't call LE to confess...Karr never did that. He found a third party to confess to.

Is he guilty? Hell, if I know...but, thank goodness the Feds are taking him seriously...at least we'll know for sure whether to rule him in or out.

My Grandmother was one and claimed she was going to marry the President and many other bizarre things, she really believed they were true. I think that is the case with Karr. He lives in a fantasy land.

They've checked him out. They may never know how he spent that Christmas, but it couldn't have been at the Ramsey home, imo. I could be wrong of course, I just don't see how it's possible he would have known all the things the killer knew and why he would have targeted John Ramsey and asked for a small amount of money. It dosen't add up to me. I've always thought that if it would have been a stranger, he would have taken her out of the house and no one ever would have found her body.

I really don't know how he could walk around all these years without someone realizing how sick he is. He should be locked up as we speak, he is very ill but not a killer.

JONBENET NUT STILL 'SUSPECT'

By TODD VENEZIA

November 25, 2006 -- Creepy kid-lover John Mark Karr may have been set free as a bird after DNA failed to link him to the killing of JonBenet Ramsey - but a new report says authorities still think he may have had some role in the 6-year-old beauty queen's horrific death.

The federal government is investigating Karr for a link to JonBenet, and fears that he may have been part of some larger conspiracy to kill her, a prober told the CBS news show "48 Hours Mystery" in an episode airing tonight at 10 p.m.

CBS reporter Erin Moriarty says the feds are still suspicious about Karr because of the way he talked about the killing and his love of little girls in e-mail letters to a University of Colorado journalism professor named Michael Tracey.

"He is still being investigated for two reasons," Moriarty said. "Because much of what he put on e-mail and said to Michael Tracey has panned out, and there could be children who could be harmed by John Mark Karr."

If someone has studied the tabloids in a case of great public interest, that which he will say will indeed contain a good bit that "pans out".

It doesn't make him a credible source at all.

Conspiracy talk makes me very uncomfortable. Karr is a loner, not part of some child sex ring that targeted JOnBenet in this manner and stopped with her? Hasn't anyone wondered why there has never been another killing like this one?

It was a one time shot for the perp becasue he KNEW the Ramsey's so well. They have always gone down the wrong road in this case, and again, they seem to have no answers and nothing regarding this poor child's murder.

Conspiracies can involve many different objectives. The people involved in a conspiracy can have different motives for their involvement. For one, it might be an obsession with the object of the conspiracy. For another, it could be jealousy or contempt for the parents. There could be many other reasons for being a part of a conspiracy, if that is what it was. But, when all those involved converge, it doesn't matter what each individual reason might be. The objective of the conspiracy is the same.

Perhaps the reason for there not being another killing like this one is that the people involved in the conspiracy do not have another common cause that would bring them together again.

Granted, someone involved did know the Ramseys very well. Is it so far fetched that that someone could have been a part of a conspiracy?

>>I really don't know how he could walk around all these years without someone realizing how sick he is. He should be locked up as we speak, he is very ill but not a killer.<<

Didn't Wendy realize he was sick and possibly a killer? Didn't she try to alert authorities to him and his obsession with JB?

Another case of LE turning a blind eye. IMO.

It doesn't make him a credible source at all.

This is assuming that every bit of info about this case is "out there" as Mary Lacy claimed. I, for one, don't happen to believe it. It could very well be that Karr mentioned things that were never released to the public. Just because we know a lot doesn't mean we know it all. Whatever Karr might have told LE could have kept him firmly under the "umbrella" without giving the DA enough to feel confident going to trial.

Yes, I think the fact that he made a complete confession to Tracey tells me that there is a whole lot more to his story. The confession was so gruesome that Erin Moriarty would not go into it. So, IMO, there is no way he can be completely innocent. I think he does have a history, most of which is related to JonBenet.

A local (Atlanta) tv station interviewed John Karr last night. He is living in Georgia, perhaps in a house owned by his father. The area (Grant Park) is very close to both the Atlanta Zoo and the Atlanta Pen. Karr would be at home in either environment.
