For your bookmarking assistance, this is a reference list of links to the Aug 2006 or newer Free Republic threads on the topic of the JonBenet Ramsey murder case and the possible arrest of John Mark Karr as a suspect in her murder.
God only knows. I have no idea why a parent would want to do that to a child. But, IMHO, it doesn't have to be John or Patsy, it could have been their son. All I know is that John & Patsy went into defense mode with detectives immediately. That's not the way to get yourself cleared of suspicion so others could be investigated IF you aren't the perpetrator.
There's another?
Most criminals DO get away with it, either through luck or due to laziness and incompetence on the part of law enforcement. It's the reverse of the broken window theory of law enforcement.
Course, that's general personal and property crime mostly. But there are still tons of unsolved murders everywhere.
Murders committed by strangers are harder to solve, because their motivations are often perverse and hard to understand. Unlike the usual greed/lust/rage murders done by people known to their victims.
My instinct on this is that the DA was duped by so-called 'privileged' information in emails to the CU prof. What she didn't realize was that all that info was already out - and Karr was obsessed with researching the case. Any snippet of info that has come out about the case he was wise to the minute it got out.
The only way they could nab this guy would be with DNA or some kind of inconvertible special knowledge he has. I don't think they've got either.
Exactly.
henry lee on greta now.
he says the fingernail contamination makes the reading more difficult - but not impossible.
he says the sequencing of the events at the crime scene, where the tape and rope came from, are very important.
What are you basing this on?
Cool. I like your stuff. Keep up the good work.
Yea, and that's the angle I'm really curious about. I would love to know his connections to other people in this case.
Fits the profile and the reports of prior use of SBTC signature on notes/letters to his first child bride. I believe the ransom note was written to fit into his "script" of his perverse fantasy, rather than a legitimate ransom note.
He was/still is obsessed with Jonbenet, but got his info about her and her death, the same way he got the info about Polly. And he didn't start talking about Jonbenet until she'd been long dead. Yes, the man is a pervert, yes he IS into kiddie porn, and yes, he IS creepy, but there's NOTHING whatsoever to link him to Jonbenet's murder and a whole LOT of things to NOT link him with it.
"he says the sequencing of the events at the crime scene, where the tape and rope came from, are very important."
A hint at some of the witheld information?
I agree. It was actually the Polly Klaas thing that first raised my suspicion about him. He knew way too much about her for someone who DIDN'T kill her. Then, we find he's obsessed with JBR.
That "direct line to the DA" is what I'm interested in. I'm interested in how far back behind the DA it goes. I do know the Ramseys and the DA are chummy. I don't know that there is any connection, but I wonder.
those two pieces of evidence were always in question. as I recall, no roll of duct tape or longer matching piece of rope - were found in the house. so that would imply that the killer brought it in, or it was successfuly disposed of.
There is NO possible way he would know about the $118,000 AFTER TAXES bonus that Jonbenet's father got that year and that note doesn't fit into any fantasy of his at all. And now, the handwriting doesn't match. The three letters that sort of match ( I don't think that they match at all! ), aren't enough letters to make a legal match, in any court.
Fits WHAT profile? Karr hasn't ever gone after a little girl he never even ever saw, let alone met. And he NEVER met nor saw Jonbenet until her murder was splashed all over the media.
IMO, the professor has much to answer for.
