I just saw Carol McKinley reporting from Boulder on FNC, and she reported about the attempt to set the 2-yr old John on fire (at which time the mom was institutionalized, she said). Now isn't that impossible, if it's true that she treated him more like a girl than a boy when he was growing up...when would that have been?? Also, Carol said the mom passed away 6 yrs. ago. If you are correct it was in the early 80's, this is crazy that the media could be so far off on such info. I always respected Carol Mc as a reporter but now I don't know what to think.

She wasn't institutionalized until he was about six-eight, memory of family is fuzzy. He has stated this (mom set on fire thing) before at family gatherings (pre-2001) and has been rebuked on this, even by his brother. Remember, this is a sick man and yet they are going to take the ramblings of him seriously? The 'so called family friend' that is reporting this would NOT report this crap if he really were a FRIEND to Wex Karr because of the obvious hurt it would cause John's brother. So I am skeptical about it. Why would he come forward when Wex refuses to speak to the media?

Hey, who needs common sense when you have ratings to push?

They are incorrect. She died in 1980. I read the original report on ABCnews.com and the reporter stated that he had the information by an obituary from Pennsylvania. Noone has ever mentioned that state in any of this, but he chose to believe that a woman who was divorced from the man named Karr, would still have that name. AND assume that this just HAD to be her?? In Pennsylvania, with noone thus far connected to Pa. Sloppy Sloppy. One reporter said something that was NOT verified as fact and the others are tauting as such with him as the 'source'. And people wonder why we are skeptical of the whole Cheney/Plume affair.
