This Karr character is simply playing fullback for JonBenet's older brother, Burke. He killed her, and since the Ramsey family were seen as "upstanding/wealthy citizens" (and with rumors of the Boulder D.A. having an affair with Patsy Ramsey), they were told that it would be best to cover the whole thing up and dismiss Burke. He (Burke) was only 10 years old at the time, and was known to have shown resentment towards his sisters fame.

That ^ sounds a lot closer to the truth than some wackaloo who just showed up out of no where.

i know, i mean i can appreciate that people have the right to speculate, but it seems to me like theres a lot of totally unfounded ideas floating around, lets wait for some proof of something..

Check out the wikipedia entry on this case. Its a very interesting collection of the "facts."

I have yet to read anything about Karr leaving the states and going to Thailand. Does anyone know why/when he left, and what he was doing there?

The situation with Karr leaving the US to seek employment overseas brings up the controversy regarding illegal aliens coming to the US to work.

There are many people who seek jobs in the US without fear of past wrongdoings in their native country. This is because background checks are a joke. It is difficult and time consuming for an employer to try to verify employment in a foreign country, and trying to get criminal records is even worse.

We can complain about this, yet it appears Americans are doing the same thing. Karr was in Thailand for his own personal reasons, but with a checkered past it seems that he was running from his own criminal record here in the United States.

Girls, boys, women, men, are murdered everyday. Why do we have sensational "breaking news" national media coverage for a 10 year old murder case?

1.7 deaths world wide every second. Who knows why the media picks what it does, but it's not like it could cover everything.


Because it plays into the stereotypes they love to report on. White blue eyed, blonde haired girl dies and it will be covered for a very long time. A black girl in New York goes missing and her father has to go around printing out pictures of his daughter and handing it out to strangers on the street. Later on his daughter's body is found decapitated and he was lucky that Court TV picked up on it for a brief second.

PS Oh yeah the police didn't even bring out the Amber Alert type system they have in New York when he reported her missing.

He was arrested for child porn in 2001 in Cali.. thats a pattern.. if you ask me, he should have been shot then on the spot.
I'm curuous to see what happens. I think 95% of america thought that the parents did it.
It will be interesting to see what turns out.


I think all people who are accused of crimes should be shot to avoid the monetary expense of trials and pesky details like innocence :roll:

If he turns out to be guilty will 95% of Americans apologize to the parents? Nope, they will continue to protect their egos and slyly state "still think the parents did it" or "the parents were in on it.'

The level of stereotyping he "looks" like a pedophile in this feed is amusing. Edit: He kind of looks like a scientist from Half Life or Half Life 2. There is something flat or odd about his feature set.

The reason there is so much coverage is because she was a little wealthy Causacian girl who was in beauty pagents which presented her pseudo-sexually. Weird stuff. Why was Elizabeth Smart so much in the media (Caucasian with blonde hair and wealthy) and the young woman who disappeared on the island (blonde hair but don't know financial status) and Nicole Simpson (Caucasian and blonde and wealthy but her famous suspect also fed the media frenzy)? Caucasian, blonde and middle or upper class. As another poster pointed out I have not seen weeks of "riveting" news coverage and speculation about African American girls who go missing or are murdered. They usually get a blurb on page 6.

It truly is a sad, sad world we live in when searching for a missing person is selective upon what gender/race/creed/color/religion the person is.

It's truly disheartening and sick.

Perhaps he can be charged with crimes against fashion? Those pleated pants pulled up to his sternum were criminal.

FALSE REPORTING!!

In Colorado that's only a "class 3 misdemeanor," carrying a max sentence of 6 months in jail and a $750 fine or both:

18-8-111. False reporting to authorities.

(1) A person commits false reporting to authorities, if:

(a) He knowingly causes a false alarm of fire or other emergency to be transmitted to or within an official or volunteer fire department, ambulance service, or any other government agency which deals with emergencies involving danger to life or property; or

(b) He makes a report or knowingly causes the transmission of a report to law enforcement authorities of a crime or other incident within their official concern when he knows that it did not occur; or

(c) He or she makes a report or knowingly causes the transmission of a report to law enforcement authorities pretending to furnish information relating to an offense or other incident within their official concern when he or she knows that he or she has no such information or knows that the information is false; or

(d) He or she knowingly provides false identifying information to law enforcement authorities.

(2) False reporting to authorities is a class 3 misdemeanor.

(3) For purposes of this section, "identifying information" means a person's name, address, birth date, social security number, or driver's license or Colorado identification number.

I also don't know whether, as a jurisdictional matter, he could even be prosecuted for this for making false statements to police in Thailand (I'm not licensed in Colorado and can't be bothered to look this up).

As I said, I imagine they'll just ship him to California, where he's facing child porn charges that I imagine are almost certainly felonies.

My take on this guy is that he's fvcked in the head, and after "researching" notable child murders (which he no doubt got off on), he may actually believe that he was involved.

I don't get why the Boulder PD wouldn't try to keep this quiet, since they obviously had zero on this guy.

it seemed fairly obvious to me that this guy wasn't the killer when his "confession" contained the words 'as if' [I was at the scene of the crime].

That's absurd. He won't make a dime. Who exactly is going to pay him, and why?

Sounds great to me. Let's offer to wine and dine and custom fly every one of these guys. Hell. Roll out the red carpet and play live band music. Just get the bastards outed and put into deprogramming. Away from our women. I just want to ad that neutering Karr within the next year would have to be a part of any truely effective program.
