But what was the linkage *before* the murde?. He seems to be almost stalking the Ramseys *after* the murder but that's no proof he committed the crime - only that he's trying to involve himself after the fact.
The Ramseys moved to Colorado in 1991 when Jon Benet would have been no more than an infant. I can't imagine how even the twisted mind of John Karr could have "fallen in love" with JBR at that age in whatever context he means it.
So where did he get this obsession for JBR from which to inspire travel from Alabama to Boulder at Christmas, 1996 if he, indeed, committed the crime? It could only be through the child pageant scene or if her images were already circulating in the pedophile world. And why would he travel to Colorado without some assurance that he was going to see her?
IMO, this is the really weak link to his whole "confession". As yet, there's no evidence he was there and no motivation to travel 1,000 miles to see a little girl he could not have known personally.
Good questions. Do you two any any insights?
I don't know. I just heard somewhere that there was such a linkage. I've watched a fair amount of TV and radio about this, so I don't remember where I heard that. There's so many rumors flying out there that I don't even know it's true. But I did hear it. And it raised a red flag for me.
I've wondered too if Karr had an obsession for these child beauty pageants. My question all along has been how could he have known about this child. So I've listened to everything that has been on about how this could have happened.
When Ramsey created Access Graphics (1989), it was a merger of 3 companies. One of them, was Advanced Products Group of Roswell, Georgia.
On December 20, 1996, there was a big employee party at the Hotel Boulderado in Colorado. A dixieland jazz band made the rounds.
There is an article in THE DAILY CAMERA dated Dec, 21, 1996 by Tom Locke. The article almost looks like the background or a summary of the ransom note.
Was Sandrock from the Daily Camera?
Was Karr flown in as a babysitter for some old southern business folks?....or with the band?? Did the glitz tick him off? Did Ramsey become a target almost sporadically?...A "fat cat" with southern ties.
Could Patsy's sister who lives in Roswell put pics of JBR in the local paper everytime she won a beauty contest?
