It is a shame that Patsy Ramsey didn't live to receive all the apologies that she has coming to her. The Media virtually destroyed her life simply because the authorities were stumped and they (The Media)could not find a better target. But were desperate to sell the story and keep it in the spotlight and milk it for everything it had, except the facts.


I concur, the press frenzy was something else, even over here in the UK, I can only imagine how bad it was in the US.

I have often thought that names and details of cases should be completely hidden from the public until a trial decides on the guilt of the accused

From a USAToday story (//www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006-08-17-jonbenet-ramsey_x.htm?csp=34) - the links button not working???

"Karr's ex-wife, Lara Karr, told KGO-TV in California that she was with her former husband in Alabama at the time of JonBenet's killing and she does not believe her former husband was involved in the homicide."

If this turns out to be a scam, you can thank the media for exposing it.

Preliminary prediction right now: this guy will turn out to be a crank - a sensation seeker, completely uninvolved with the case.

Stay tuned though, truth is ALWAYS stranger than fiction.

Patsy Ramsey found out what happened to Jon Benet on June 12 of this year. Assuming she didn't already know.

The investigation was in the works as early as May and definitely in June, and the family, including Patsy, were all aware of it, cooperative with it, and had full expectations of this arrest.

The media reported that an arrest was made. How is that not a fact?

The media also reported that the ex-wife says he wasn't there.

If it turns out he wasn't there, how can you fault the media for the FACT the he was arrested? geeez.

Because the media is glamorizing this whole thing with out any facts. They have the entire worlds hopes up that this case is finally solved. Based on an arrest and a few emails. No Real Facts present.

The police in tailand did not release any real information at first but the big news channels all had their photoshop experts whipping up banners for the story. It is on every channel and every front page , Some even bold enough to print JonBenets killer Caught..

Big Graphics Splash Screens or what ever they call it. They are glamorizing it and now it if it turns out to be a false lead the people watching it are left right back where they were before the Breaking News Flash came on the air. Had the media waited to see if this was real or hoax. They could have saved alot of people from alot of BS. The problem is. They all want to be first to break the story.

It is just like when there is a big plane crash. They are on the air 2 minutes later giving out false information, 200 people dead, no 177 dead, no 187 etc etc. If they could just say we are waiting for official numbers to come in and we will report them when we know they are real. But they can't do that because they are affraid that the other channel will beat them to it.

And please dont take this personal scarbrd It is just the way I feel about the way alot of news stories get released before they were finished being writen.

Your real problem is with the American people who you are calling pretty stupid in an indirect way. I've had the news on this morning and what I've learned was this guy was "arrested" that's it! So far I haven't heard anybody mention he was already convicted and sentence or anything like that. If you think that is how it is being interpreted by the masses then that's an indictment with the people watching not those relaying the message. Granted, I have lots of issues with the media also but I'm not going to fault them for covering a story that CLEARLY is of interest to it's audience. My main problem with the media is they simply spend too much time on certain stories while not covering others just as important or more so.

Any guy that wears his pants that high (and no belt) MUST be a killer! Case closed!

Ummm, didn't the guy basically confess to killing her in his interviews with the media? This doesn't sound much like merely another lead in a cold case...

My comment was a little more of the magic and mystery element. Patsy Ramsey died on June 12.

All kinds of weird nutcases confess to things they don't do. Perhaps the people in Thailand didn't really like having a child molestor as a 2nd grade teacher. Maybe his only route of escape from Thailand was courtesy of the US gumment.
Jail in the US could conceivable be more pleasant than Thailand? With at least three different people now giving Karr alibis we'll have to wait a bit til things get sorted out. As the police say: "There's something hinkey about this case."
Almost a hinkey as fotoman frying bacon in the nude. :(

My understanding of the state of sex tourism and police corruption in Thailand is that holding someone on sex charges there is a sort of joke, like holding someone on a parking ticket. The Feds were very specific in requesting that the Thai Royal Police pick him up and it appears that he was held on some trumped up seatwarmer charges until they could get there themselves.

A confession alone doesn't mean much - all sorts of crazy attention seekers will claim credit for high profile crimes they didn't commit. But they've arrested Karr after three months of investigation, so something there must be strongly corroborative.

In Boulder Colorado it was a big story because there had only been I think one other murder in the previous ten years. This is also why they said the investigation was so messed up- they had no experience in this sort of matter. Reports on the arrest keep coming out and some are conflicting and many based on rumour, but one did say that the alleged killer had information about the killing that was not made public (with all the rag media digging I thought they had all of it- and even made up a bunch).

he was in custody, he wasn't allowed to wear a belt, so the only way to keep up his pants was to give him self a wedgie and hold them up with his cheeks ;)

Colorado has the death penalty, but *IF* this guy is convicted I hope they don't use it. I would like to see them turn him loose in a general prison population. The result (death) would be the same, but he will go out in a more "appropriate" way - a way more fitting to the crime.

The man is psychotic. Its looking now like he was never around Jonbenet, but became obsessed with her and another murdered little girl AFTER their deaths.

He married a 12 year old when he was 18, then married a 16 year old when he was in his early 20s. Been fired from 1/2 dozen teaching jobs and been arrested for owning child porn. Man's a freak!

My experience here shows that holding someone on sex charges is taken very seriously...the ones caught where I live often end up suiciding themselves..if you get my meaning.
