An arrest in the JonBenet Ramsey case is due to happen "shortly," according to sources in our newsroom -- I know I can't post the link to our site (we're a Gannett station, and despite the "ban", I would welcome the traffic), but most of you know where I work and what the site is...

According to our sister station in Denver, an arrest took place early this morning in Thailand.

Stand by for details and updates as they come in.

I was watching a talkshow with some of the show moms and dads types on there. I can't believe some allowed their children to wear the clothes that their 'fans' sent them. I just googled 'child modeling' and look what I got back http://www.chillingeffects.org/notice.cgi?sID=778 Some parents are a little starstruck to me.

Personally, I've never believed her parents had anything to do with her death. I've always thought the Boulder police department botched it from the start.

I agree. It's just sad that Patsy didn't live to see this day. The media put these parents through living hell and I can't help but believe it put Patsy in an early grave.

I thought that the brother had something to do with it too. But the parents could never reveal that as then they would have lost both of their kids.
But I had a friend take a look at the brother. He was pretty good at reading people. This guy's comment was that if the brother had anything to do with it, he didn't mean to kill her. I would have thought that the DNA from the brother would have been tested. What age was he when it happened 8 or 9????
But there was some unknown DNA recovered from...???her underwear....and I would think the only way to connect the suspect to that would be that he was arrested for something there and the DNA matched.....that isn't what they are saying..

I'm sure we will be Gretaized tonight.

"Q"???

[xzins]

Don't forge the "if memory is correct."

Memory does say that there was something odd about it.

[Txsleuth]

Good points.

funniest? In what way? Arresting a child murderer and bringing him back for justice is funny?

Clutch Cargo

Mr. Gillette's Synchro-Vox system was used in Clutch Cargo to combine live-action human lips with animated drawings. To make the characters speak, the lips of a live human actor were filmed and then superimposed over the motionless drawings of the character's face.* To further cut costs, action was simulated using clever wiggling of the camera or the drawing itself. Walking or running was accomplished by showing the character from the waist up, to eliminate complicated leg animation. The use of real live objects, again superimposed, also helped to keep costs down. Real smoke was used for explosions and an actual balloon substituted for a bubble-gum bubble.

*Kind of like Greta van Susteren, post-facelift.

Side note: I feel old knowing what Clutch Cargo is.

that's what i've always thought as well.

I'll have to disagree.
The detectives in that case were completely incompetent.

It all started when the body was first brought up from the basement.
The female officer present said she was convinced the parents were involved by a "feeling" she had.
It all went downhill from there.

I'm wondering what the Statute of Limitations is on this case,

No statute of limitations on murder.

I always suspected the brother

Right - like a 9-year-old kid knows how to apply a garrot.

May I say real quick right here and y'all can hold me to it. There cannot be any arrest of the Jonbenet killer from Thailand or anywhere else. Patsy Ramsey killed Jonbenet. John Ramsey aided and abetted. There are no other possible killers of the little beauty queen. In fact, I am very suspicious this whole thing is just plain wrong.

Time will tell. It is being reported that a "man" has been arrested. No more info at this time.

Thailand.

Whatever the "look," her head will still be turned at the same odd angle to make sure the camera gets her "good" side.

I too cannot watch that cornpone harpy.

[kjam22]

I went to the dummie website to play my little game of counting the threads before some one says "its * fault". Didn't make it past the first post before it was suggested this is a Rove/Cheney distraction.

Good Grief! That maybe the stupidest thing I've ever heard......

MSNBC is reporting arrest soon of father of JonBennet Ramsey

Who wrote this sentence?? AHHH!!!

[wagglebee]

They are reporting that the person they arrested knew things about the case that were never made public, that would probably rule out family as they would have known it anyway.

[CheneyChick]

So the brother is 19 or 20 now?

[Cyman]

Isn't that where Generalissmo Francisco Franco was reportedley seen two weeks ago?
