PETALUMA (KRON) -- It now appears the only person ever arrested in connection with the murder of Jon Benet Ramsey once taught in Petaluma schools.
The Sonoma County district attorney's office is now confirming 42-year old John Mark Karr was charged with possession of child pornography in April, 2001. Other reports indicate Karr served as a substitute teacher in the Petaluma elementary school system.
Prosecutors say Karr failed to show in court in December, 2001. He's been a fugitive ever since.
Thai police arrested Karr Wednesday in connection with the Jon Benet Ramsey case. The little girl was found dead in her Boulder, Colorado home the day after Christmas, 1996.
It would seem the myspace account has been deleted. hmm.
I will clarify that remark. The "tip" that led to the pursuit of John Mark Karr came from a professor named Michael Tracey, who is a close friend of the Ramseys, and has interviewed them many times for his documentaries on the case.
Lin Wood, Ramsey attorney, said that the Ramseys were aware of the communications going on between Tracey and Karr.
You can tell that from a picture?
The guy is creepy.
Do you think that he is guilty? I think he is guilty. He even has admitted to the crime.
He even has been convicted of crimes against children on other occasions. He is guilty !
I believe his arrest was for the possession of child pornography, not for sexual acts against children.
Please stick to the facts.
Possession of child pornography is a felony and requires the person to be a registered as a sex offender. If people in possession of child pornography they are usually molesting children.
I agree he is creepy, delusional, deranged, maybe.
But he didn't kill JonBenet.
He is a handy scapegoat, brought to the DA's attention by Professor Michael Tracey, who is a friend of the Ramseys and is currently writing a book about the case. Tracey engeged Karr in an online correspondence of several months duration, and it sounds like a sting to me.
Tracey has accused many, many other individuals of killing JonBenet in his poorly-produced documentaries made for British TV.
Sometimes.
But he has never been convicted of anything. He skipped out on the California charges before being brought to trial.
Karr has already admitted to drugging,molesting and killing Jon Benet Ramsey .DNA has linked him to the crime
Please stick to the facts and get your head out of the sand
IMO Needs to be done even if it's not proven. (BTW FBI is looking to see if there is a connection to deaths in AL GA and TN cases.
