This was treated as CELEBRITY NEWS, back then; just the sort of thing a 23 /24 year old WOULD have been interested in. It was on A CURRENT AFFAIR and the rest of those shows, as well as the then still BIG TIME night time shows. :-)
I certainly didn't pay much attention to it ten years ago. Was sick with the flu this week and couldn't get far from the rest room...
So I started correcting people comments such as "He picked her up from school" "He drugged her" The Thai official who claimed that Karr said that, later renigged on those statements and a couple of others. Of course the MSM didn't give it much space and many people still think erroneously thik they are true.
I love to solve the mystery before I come to the end of the book....So I guess that's what I'm doing now. Correcting false infomation when possible....and brainstorming "how could X have done it"?
