So for the past two days, America has been transported ten years back in time to the JonBenet Ramsey murder. I myself am an avid true-crime fan and remember the media circus that her murder caused. Exposes of child beauty pagents, series on pedophiles and the suspicion of the Ramsey family- Mom, Dad, and brother included- dominated the news.
John Mark Karr is obviously a bona-fide kiddie-porn freak, who "fled" the US after being arrested on child pornography charges to Thailand. Come on, people, who flees to Thailand except for people looking for 6-year-old hookers? He just seems like a nutso who was fascinated by the child star murder. And, being the pedophile that he is, obsessed over it, researched it, and talked about. Apparently he eventually reached out to talk to the Colorado University journalism professor who eventually turned their emails over to the Boulder police. But it does seem a little strange that ten years later someone would just confess, especially when he was supposedly in Alabama when it occured in December 1996. He also said that he drugged her before he raped her although her autopsy revealed no toxins/drugs in her system.
He seems just like a pervert looking for some attention or a book deal. I will be interested, however, to see if the press ever releases the supposed "details" that were not known to the public about her case.
