An arrest in the JonBenet Ramsey case is due to happen "shortly," according to sources in our newsroom -- I know I can't post the link to our site (we're a Gannett station, and despite the "ban", I would welcome the traffic), but most of you know where I work and what the site is...

According to our sister station in Denver, an arrest took place early this morning in Thailand.

Stand by for details and updates as they come in.

Once I said "How did Dad get in this picture, he's dead." Whoops, 10 year old film.

Oh man! Bad moment there.

Maybe they are two different people....Infact I know of three John Carrs. None of them were involved I'm certain. Carr is a fairly common name around here.

Well, you can just knock me over with a feather. I really thought one of the parents did it. It looks like I was WRONG! But when I first saw this news break, I was at work, and they didn't name the suspect at the time, only that he was arrested in Thailand. Thailand doesn't surprise me, because so many perverts who are into young kids seem to turn up there. But, assuming he's the same guy who is the registered sex offender, and a schoolteacher, and assuming they do indeed have a DNA match, although I'd like to know what sort of DNA they're talking about, and assuming he confessed, I don't give a crap what his brother says.

... was allegedly involved in a Satanic cult, specifically the "Process Church."

The Process Church is the bunch that is now claiming that the 9-11-01 attack was Geo. Bush's fault.

I don't remember what I doing Christmas 96 or last year for that matter. But, I do know all of my family was there because I've never had a Christmas when they weren't.

Wikipedia the Process Church.....it's a 60s off-shoot of Scientology. It's really bad when the Scientols don't want you....LOL!

Lucky you!

Look, I could argue my theories very convincingly, but I don't really want to get into this case in any detail. It's been discussed more than enough on the web, and I am not an expert on all aspsects of this case. You two seem very convinced that the parents have told everything they know to the police and you're highly emotional about this case, so let's just end this discussion.

BTW I just caught your tagline. That's one of my most favorite scriptures.

And how do you explain away the DNA matching???

[mhking]

We share links with KUSA -- we're both Gannett-owned television stations. My full write is at: http://www.11alive.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=83432

I'm still working the story - including an interview with Patsy's sister and a news conference with John and Patsy's lawyer.

Fair enough. No harm No foul No penalty. Cold beer for all.

[editor-surveyor]

It's actually a split from the Presbyterian, which is usually quite leftist.

[CAWats]

>And how do you explain away the DNA matching???

There hasn't been any DNA matching that I can find.

[AmeriBrit]

Also, besides the DAN matching do you honestly think they'd go to all the trouble of bringing him back to the U.S. if there was any question about his guilt. It's not as though it's state to state.

Thanks! Actually Christmas Day is also my birthday. People always think that must be the pits and when I was a kid I might have agreed. But, now I think it is wonderful because I can count on my family always being together.

Thanks for the link.

[hoosiermama]

Good Job Mike. The best reporting thus far!

[50sDad]

MSNBC says it's "John Mark Karr"..and she spelled KARR.

Curse of the 3 part name. Lee Harvy Oswald. John Wilkes Booth.

So glad you like the Scripture. These days I find
myself weeping for Israel. Always have had a thing
for God's chosen.
