This has already been refuted numerous times, but I'll post it again.
The party on 12/23/96 was a small party of family friends, very small party - every single person there was known to someone else there.
There were NO strangers at this party.
They were the inner circle of adult friends of the Ramseys and the child friends of JonBenet's and Burke's.
Fleet and Priscilla White, their children Fleet III and Daphne; Priscilla's sister Alison Schoeny; her boyfriend Clif Gaston; Alison's daughter and her husband, the Coxes; Susan and Glen Stine and the mother of each of them, plus their child; the Barbers and their little girls; the Barnhills from across the street.
Their cleaning lady, Linda Hoffman-Pugh and her daughter were also there for part of it. The boarder from across the street at the Barnhills came by briefly to say that JonBenet's dog was barking back at their house, where he was kept.
Santa Bill McReynolds and his wife came and played Santa, gave out small gifts, read something Patsy wrote for each child. Then they left. Their son who worked at the Safeway bakery had come by in the afternoon and delivered some undecorated gingerbread houses, which Patsy had ordered, for the children to decorate.
The Charles Kuralt film crew did NOT come--they had gotten enough other Santa footage for their special *before* they had a chance to get to the Ramseys' house.
This was the main reason the party had come together in the first place, because Santa Bill had asked them to have it for the benefit of the film crew which was shadowing him that day for a TV special.
There were no extraneous people there.
If I left someone out, going from my memory, I'll correct it after I have time to look it up in my notes.
Karr was NOT there.
The Fernies, I know I forgot them. John and Barb and their young son and one of his friends, were also at the party. Good close friends of the Ramseys.
Patsy's father Don was there, too. Forgot him. Now I'll go look at my notes.
We only considered the report because CNN (could be any media, for all I care) had it. Now if they know that a party was held there, could they not just as well find out if it were even possible Karr was there?
Yes, lots of misinformation has been put out. At this point who knows what is hard and fast, with absolutely no loopholes or wiggle room, and what is not? I don't.
There's nothing else to do, as long as the media reports it as they do, but wait and find out what happens with the prosecutor and if there is even a case, or what it consists of.
To clarify (I hurriedly typed my answer last night and went to bed), I know NOW what I didn't then, and that is that Larry King had someone on who said the same as you...namely, that JMK couldn't have been at the party on the 26th...wasn't on the guest list, everyone knew the others at the party, no sign his brother worked for John R, etc.
I had read the comments of others who watched Larry and I don't think I read anything like that.
What I do know is that Paula Zahn and Nancy Grace and CNN Breaking News hyped like crazy that Karr is saying he was there, and that there was a party on that date, and from what I saw they didn't try to refute it.
That's why I wrote to you that as long as such reports keep coming out and there's not yet clarification from the prosecutor, whether in a statement clearing Karr of the murder, or in a trial of him for murder, what can we do but withhold final judgement?
You know the prosecutor has or is or will talk to those who were at the party. It should be a slam dunk, right, for them to clear this up.
what about the party the family went to on christmas day, before the murder took place? did they interview attendees, to ask them if any kind if a family incident amongst the Ramsey's occurred there - am argument of some kind, an incident of some kind that could have triggered something.
if the thinking is that the Ramsey's were involved in this - what was the motive? this is the part of the accusations against the parent's (either/or) that never squared with me - what would have been the motive, what happened to trigger it on the night of christmas day?
