Suspect Confesses To JonBenet Ramsey Murder Thai Official Says
MSNBC ^ | 8-17-2006 | MSNCB

BANGKOK, Thailand - Thai police said Thursday that a 41-year-old American man has admitted to the killing a decade ago of 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey in the United States.

Lt. Gen. Suwat Tumrongsiskul, head of Thailand's immigration police, told The Associated Press that John Mark Karr confessed to the killing after his arrest Wednesday at a downtown Bangkok apartment.

"He told police while under arrest that he did kill the girl but so far he has not pleaded guilty in writing. This is needed as official evidence," Suwat said.

You don't think that was his son?

One report said the suspect was identified after he started e-mailing a Colorado journalist who had covered the child's murder case. The e-mails displayed inside knowledge of the case, according to a report on the ABC News Web site.

Ramsey attorney Lin Wood said Wednesday the suspect was not recently discovered but had been known to authorities for a while. "This individual has been under investigation for an extended period of time," he told MSNBC.

Not likely.

Babykillers have a very, very short lifespan in prison. Shortly followed by babyrapers.

If there is a witnessed confession overseas and a DNA match, that would be a game, set and match no mater what pictures his brother finds from a past Xmas and in the family wants to be the alibi.

How is it that a DNA match wasn't made back in 1997 or 1998? This pervert was a suspect back then. This sounds like a sloppy police investigation.

John Mark Karr apparently in a distant picture in a wig and dress (IMO).

His profile page said John Mark Karr II, which implies the son. Although the creep is tiny, it looks a little too tiny to be the father.

Yea, I'm glad she's home in bed now. I'll monitor this one during my shift tonite and distill things down for her in the morning before she goes to work.

She took the Klaas thing pretty hard obviously. She actually drove by the guys car. God, that gives me the willies. Then she was out on the property all night by herself watching a friends dogs.

She has never been back there and her friend sold the place shortly after. The sick f*** who killed that little girl did a lot more damage than some folks realize.

We've talked about it a lot and I think she realizes in her head that there was nothing she could have done. The poor child was already dead. But in her heart she's convinced that if she'd just called 911 something might have been done to save Polly.

So, I not only give Mrs. L lots of hugs, I'm not stingy about them with Lurker Jr or for that matter close friends and family. If I've learned anything in the last few years it's how quickly people you love can be taken from you.

There's one moment in my life I really, really regret not taking a close friend by the hand and telling him how much I loved him. I'll not make that mistake again.

You take care,

L

I know some folks think it's evil to wish bad things like repeated homosexual gang rapes on convicted criminals. I'm not one of those people.

I am one of those people. I don't believe that criminal penalties in a modern society should include homosexual rape - sounds primitive and medieval enough to be one of Islam's legal remedies. There are too many idiot kids with drug convictions who've never hurt anyone but themselves undergoing this kind of horror.

According to Fox @ 2:20a cdt, the creep said her death was an accident and that he was in love with her.

Some guesses to your questions:
If he did it, I would like to know the reason for the ransom note.

Maybe after her death he wanted to make it look like a kidnapping. However, if you remember, there was a strange and specific dollar amount cited in the 'ransom note' (something like $183k) which was a reference to a bonus that only a certain number people at Mr. Ramsey's work would know about.

Did he kidnap her, write and leave the note, then kill and return her to the basement, or did he try to make it look like a kidnapping gone wrong?

Investigators found pineapple in a saucer on the kitchen table like it was eaten in a calm manner which doesn't suggest it was a kidnap per se., which begs the question; where was the babysitter?

The DNA was put into a data base, but for what ever reason, they could not match it up with anyone.

From what I read this is the first time they have had contact with the suspect.

He was kind of discovered through Internet communications with details he should not have known.

He was then looked for, but being out of the country they supposedly had trouble finding him.

Yet, here is his resume apparently very available in the net. Including the part about you bathing young girls.

http://www.myspace.com/vladimire_ii - but he has John Mark Karr II linked in his friends area - so this might be a firend of John Mark Karr II (who may be John Mark Karr's son?)

I've read that a lot of killers try and plant themselves into a case, this guy was no different. Thank God, or he wouldn't have been caught.

They don't.

Because not enough is done to prevent it from happening, they effectively do.
