Karr claimed to that Wendy Hutchens or Hutchings, the Polly Klaas case follower, that he was at a party at the Ramseys' house just before the murder.
This party would have been on 12/23/06 - which was just a little Christmas party that Patsy had to throw together on the spur of the moment because Santa Bill, their regular Santa Claus, Bill McReynolds, was being shadowed by Charles Kuralt's TV crew for a special on Santas.
As it turned out, they had gotten all the footage they needed before they were able to go to the Ramseys' house.
Patsy got Santa Bill's son to bring them some undecorated gingerbread houses from the Safeway bakery where he worked, for the kids to decorate for the TV cameras and for fun.
The party was very small, only close friends and their family members - the Whites, Fleet III and Daphne; Susan and Glen Stine, her mother (maybe both parents, can't remember) and their son; the Fernies and their children. It was maybe a dozen children and a few more adults than that, with several being the older parents of the Ramseys' lower-middle-aged friends.
John M Karr told "Wendy" that he went to that party because his brother worked for John Ramsey. I'm going to say that's a bald-faced lie, since both brothers, who live and work in Atlanta are either in real estate or home remodeling, and John's business was the sale of computer workstations to large companies.
Neither John M Karr nor his brothers were in this small inner circle of Ramsey friends in Boulder at this party.
Karr then claimed to Wendy that when he was at this party at their house, two days before JonBenet was murdered, that he sat and talked with her on the step to the butler pantry and they ate pineapple. The detail of JonBenet having a conversation with one of her mother's friends, on that stoop, was widely publicized in the JBR forums, so that's where he got that - and we know where the idea of eating pineapple came from (the autopsy).
Then he told Wendy that he went down to the basement and unlatched the train room window so he could get in when he came back to kidnap JonBenet on Christmas night. There was no need to unlatch the window, it had a broken window pane that had not been fixed since John Ramsey broke it himself a few months before that.
We've learned since then that John Ramsey used the window on more than one occasion - so that is probably why it hadn't been fixed - tho the Ramseys tried to tell LE that it was a new break that night.
where are you getting the wendy/karr details from?
I think Karr was at the employee Christmas Party at the Hotel Boulderado on December 20th. And they had a Dixieland Band!!!!
I'm sure this event is a good deal of background for the note and the article in the Daily Camera the next day drove him.
Summary: He talked to Jonbenet at a Christmas Party (true)...at the Ramsey House (false).
ok...I figured it out, you got the info from the video off this site.

When did John Karr talk to Wendy Hutchins?
Wasn't this the lady that Lin Wood threatened to sue last night if he she kept running her mouth about the Ramseys?
