This Wendy Nichols, from an article last week?

"...Friends and classmates roundly described Karr as being extraordinarily bright, but some said he had a dark side as well.
Wendy Nichols, a Hamilton High classmate, said Karr seemed obsessed with children in the years after high school. She kept her own child away from him because he made her uncomfortable, she said.
"He's totally different from `Hickville, Alabama.' He's always been a dark person, a different bird," she said. "He's smart. He's bad smart."
Still, Nichols said many in the community doubt Karr is guilty, despite his confession, broadcast worldwide on CNN..."
Seems strange that she wouldn't have mentioned this last week. I smell a rat looking to extend her 15 minutes..like so many in this case it seems.
I'm sorry, I don't know if the woman Rita spoke with is named Wendy Nichols or not. The woman herself did not appear with Rita. And the woman has reported what she claims to know to the authorities in Boulder. If she's making it up, she'll most likely pay for it one way or another. It's a crime to knowingly lie to an official investigation.
