Karr's Mother Tried to Kill Him, Family Friend Says
Karr Family Friend Says Mother Tried to Kill Him When He Was a Baby

By CHRIS FRANCESCANI, ABC Law and Justice Unit

ATLANTA, Aug. 21, 2006 — - The mother of the suspect in JonBenet Ramsey's murder tried to kill him when he was only a baby, a family friend told ABC News.

John Karr's mother, Patricia Elaine Adcock "made a big round donut [of kindling] and put him in the middle of it," said George McCrary, 76, who said he has known Karr's father, Wexford Karr, for 40 years.

His mother died in a mental institution?

SINCE WHEN DOES ABC NEWS HAVE AN WWW.ABC.GO.COM ADDRESS? THIS LINK IS FALSE AS IS THE STORY.

However, she was in a mental institution.

I was one who was asking, what did his mother die from.

I thought the answer might shed light on him. I said what if she killed herself or had mental problems or what if someone in the family (him?) had harmed her...you name the many possibilities, that might show something was wrong either with her or with him or both.

If this is confirmed, you bet it's significant in following his twisted and tortured life, whether he killed JonBenet or not.

Maybe she wasn't that crazy after all and she sensed his evilness even back then !!! (just kidding!)
The life story behind Karr is just growing more bizarre as each day passes.

so according to this cracker McCrary, John-boy was a "good human being" yet he was also possessive, and a pedophile, and he threatened to kill his FIL and he got a girl pregnant when she was 16 and he was 24 and then his too little twins just happened to die, at home, with only John-boy in attendence.....

McCrary also seems think that marrying a 13 yro agaisnt the wishes of her mom and dad is just an okay thing to do.....

Do you suppose that Karr was calling Patsy Ramsey "Patricia" as a way of relating to her like his own mother - for better or worse? Spooky.

People were speculating he called Patsy "Patricia" to come across like an insider but it could also be a way to transfer love/hatred he had for his own mother to this woman who he claims he killed the daughter?

OH, and how conveeeeenient that his defending attornies are a bunch of women. He couldn't have scripted that any better. He's going to need women attornies to give him a public makeover from Mr. Creepy to wholesome boy next door.
