Uggghhh!!! I couldn't finish it!
Interesting.
Thanks for the ping, I think. ;-)
Creepy.
>>>he could have been there Christmas morning and spent some of the day with everyone before taking off to Boulder somehow. I see this a likely senario because they don't remember a Christmas without him there. This may be true, but Karr's family probably is just thinking of Christmas Eve and Christmas morning, not the rest of the day.>>>
I wonder the same thing. Like 'go ahead honey, go visit your relatives for a while, I'll go visit an old friend...' type thing. If he kept her from her family so much as she says, she might have jumped at the chance.
Oh, really? Who is orchestrating it? Where does the prosecutor fit in? Do tell.
No, they're not.

That 'information' contradicts itself as it says he moved to Alabama at five, but was 'taken away from his mother at nine'. His mother never lived in Alabama, so which is it?
How do you explain the initials SBTC on the ransom note? These are the same initials Karr singed in yearbooks and in notes to his ex-wife. Its about a million to one that someone else would sign using those same letters. That is about as good as a DNA match.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - John Mark Karr's brother insisted Friday that Karr did not kill JonBenet Ramsey. "Absolutely not. Emphatically. Without a doubt," Nate Karr said in a television interview.
Karr told ABC's "Good Morning America" he was certain his brother spent Christmas 1996, when JonBenet was slain, with his family.
"Well I can say almost without question that from the time that John had children he has never missed a Christmas with his family, and that's any Christmas," said Karr, who appeared on the show with his father, Wexford Karr.
"If he was away from his family during Christmas it would have been a family scandal," Nate Karr said.
The brother said he was uncertain where the family spent the holiday when the 6-year-old child beauty queen was slain in her Boulder, Colo., home.
"To the best of our recollection, he was either with us in Atlanta or with (his ex-wife) Lara," Nate Karr said. "It's not as easy as you might think to remember 10 years ago."
Addressing his brother, Nate Karr said: "We love you and we support you 100 percent. ... Help's on the way."
John Mark Karr, meanwhile, spent his first night in an 8-by-10-foot jail cell in Colorado, away from other inmates for his own safety.
Nine days after his arrest in Thailand, the 41-year-old former schoolteacher now awaits a court appearance that could come as early as next week.
Karr arrived in Colorado Thursday, flying in from Los Angeles on a state police plane to face charges in a homicide case prosecutors acknowledged is in its infancy.
Formal charges were pending and the date of Karr's first court appearance could be announced Friday, the district attorney's office said.
His first few hours at the jail were to include physical and mental evaluations, and he was isolated from the other 480 inmates, Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said.
"Anybody that's in jail in our population that faces these kinds of charges, charges against children, faces some danger," Pelle said.
Questions about Karr's involvement in the case have arisen since he told reporters following his arrest in Thailand that he was with JonBenet at the time of her death but that it was an accident.
Boulder County prosecutors have refused to detail any evidence they might have, but in a court filing this week said investigators didn't learn of Karr's name until Aug. 11, five days before his arrest. They said he was arrested in part because they feared he might get tipped off and vanish.
The court filing conflicts with the Sonoma County, Calif., sheriff, who said his office alerted Boulder authorities about Karr in 2001 after he was arrested on child pornography charges. The sheriff and Boulder prosecutors declined to comment on the apparent discrepancy.
Karr has professed love for JonBenet in e-mails with a Colorado professor, and told a California woman he believes the girl was tortured before she was strangled.

Nate Karr told ABC his brother may have become obsessed with the case because he wanted to write a book about it. Because he lost the ability to see his sons and wife five years ago, "maybe he felt lost," the brother said. "And maybe that was the only reality he had left."

Associated Press writers Kim Nguyen, Catherine Tsai and Don Mitchell in Boulder; Colleen Slevin and Dan Elliott in Denver; Gillian Flaccus in Long Beach, Calif.; Marcus Wohlsen in San Francisco; Jordan Robertson in San Jose, Calif.; Harry R. Weber in Atlanta; and Linda Deutsch in Los Angeles contributed to this report.
mystery-ak didn't say she is convinced the parents did it. She was only quoting someone else, denvergal, and then she asked denvergal a question. I have never, ever, seen mystery make such a statement or anything slightly close to that. Just to clear that up for mystery-ak...
That was disturbing.
Oh well. That settles it. Time to hang it up, everybody. /sarcasm
The Primetime report on Monday night was pretty graphic too. ABC said they obtained about an hour of audio interviews and Ms. Hutchens had hours and hours and hours. It was amazing how much of his personal side Karr detailed to Hutchens.
After seeing that Primetime report on Monday with Wendy Hutchens, I think Karr dug his own grave.
You are right mystery-ak was quoting DenverGal, but did not put it in quotes or in italics. But with the context of the next line I should have figured that out. Sorry.
LOL!
Here is the deal. This DA has 72 hrs to charge Karr for the murder of JBR or not. If she doesn't charge him than we will know he didn't do the crime. If he does there will likely be an arress afidavit that tells us a bit more of what the evidence is on him. So by Monday I think we will know if Karr did the crime or not, but we will just have to be patient. If for on haven't decided yet like some people. Heck, some people refuse to believe he did it and still point to the Ramsey's. I think he might have done it, but I won't say without doubt I think he did or didn't kill JBR.
Not true. If they don't charge him it will be because they don't think they have enough to convict him, doesn't necessarily mean he did not do it.
true..
