Boulder District Attorney investigator Mark Spray has contacted a man who believes he could have encountered the JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect on a bus in the early morning hours of Dec. 26, 1996. Daniel Pride, now of Portsmouth, N.H., said he was at the downtown bus station in Boulder sometime shortly after 12:30 a.m. when a man arrived, behaving strangely and bearing a resemblance to John Mark Karr, arrested last week in the case.
He said the man didn't want to be noticed and pulled away when Pride asked if he had a light for a cigarette. The man boarded the same bus as Pride, and exchanged strange glances with him once aboard, Pride said.
Pride said the individual was wearing a Western fleece vest with a "shiny red spot" that Pride took to be a stain.
Asked how he could remember the event in such detail, Pride said it was because the man acted so strangely, and because he found out about JonBenet's death soon after. At some point after the murder, Pride said he called the tip into Boulder police.
Pride decided to again leave his tip with the DA's office Aug. 18. Spray contacted him five days later, and interviewed him over the phone, Pride said.
Pride provided an e-mail from Spray in which the investigator said he was interested in talking to him. Spray wanted to know what Pride was wearing on the same night, said Pride, who said he thought he could obtain the information from friends who had photos of a gathering that Pride attended on Christmas of 1996.
It's impossible to know the significance of the interview. Those familiar with investigations said Spray could simply be following a lead that could put Karr in Boulder, or might have been trying to corroborate information that he'd already obtained elsewhere.
Pride said the stranger got off the bus on the highway outside of Boulder.
Pride's story seems to have at least one hitch: The Ramsey house is some distance from the downtown Boulder bus station. Even if JonBenet's death occurred prior to midnight - the exact time is unknown - it's a significant walk from that property on 15th Street to the bus depot.
I want DNA and fingerprints.
There is definitely too much useless news on Iran, Lebanon, Terrorism filling the news papers and pushing world critical and overwhelmingly important news of the 10 year old Jon Benet murder off the front page and out of the minds of folks. Please, MSM, give us Jon Benet all the time, 24 hour coverage and let all that other terrorist drival be relagated to being ignored, it doesn't mean anything anyway as far as the state of the world is concerned.
looks like peolpe trying to get a quick 15 minutes of fame on the drive by obsession of this case...
In fact, I saw ther perp John Karr buying gerbals in the local petshop a few hours before the murder. /s
I am sure I can also remember everyone I saw the morning of Dec. 26, 1996. I can also remember every phone call, and what I had for breakfast. Sarcasm off. If the DA is counting on this testimony her case is in deep trouble.
Also give us more of Gary Condit/Chandra Levy, Scott Peterson/Amber Frey, OJ Simpson and Michael Jackson. After all, Greta needs to make a living, too.
Rove contrived this whole new twist just to get the spotlight off of the president./sarc
Pretty weak. Useless, I'd say.
At first glance it does seem odd that this man would recall so much after ten years, but there are some things that make it more plausible. He did report it contemporaneously soon after. I was a witness to an incident in Honolulu back in 1986 and I remember all the details I reported to the police. Secondly it did occur on the day after Christmas. It's the same thing that makes me remember exactly what I was doing when I heard about the World Trade Center coming down, and people of a certain age remember what they were doing when Kennedy was shot.
Yep, you can take to the bank what you learn from a bus rider.
I saw Karr, too. He was in my living room, crowding out more important matters while he lusted after his fifteen minutes.
As much as I appreciate FoxNews, sometimes I think late-night Fox is a pale imitation of morning-after Enquirer. Greta: call your voice coach- your voice pitch is really annoying and your show seems more & more like a "filler" for slow news days; find a more intellectually challenging spot for yourself- you have the raw materials for a better format.
lots of people remember details about their personal situation when
they heard that Kennedy wvs shot.
So, I tend to believe you.
with that said,
please inform us,
where were you when you heard about the JonBenet killing?
who else was with you?
what clothes were others wearing?
was any of their clothing stained?
You do realize that the DUmmies floated that exact theory when this story broke don't you?
It is pathetic what people consider news today. It wouldn' surprise me that more time and attention has been given to this soap epera than 9-11.
I'm waiting for the movie version written and directed by the guy who did Friday The Thirteenth. Does anyone know the release date?
"Captain. Please take me off this case. After 10 years, the cameras and reporters are so annoying."
And she's constantly being brought in on BO and H&C for an effective three hour slot every night.
And some of us remember what we were doing when news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was announced on the radio.
