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.
scarborough is out of his mind to talk about this as if its a slam dunk that this is the guy, based on what we know now.
Since his confession came while in custody in Thailand for charges, that was my thought, too.
Yes. Richard Davis who gave two famous one finger salutes to the camera as they gave him the death penatly. That was like 12 years ago and his appeals process is not even started yet. The death penalty in California is like a 20 year process.
Scarborough is an idiot...
That gave me a chill in my spine.
Thats exactly what I thought.
Maybe he isn't the perp and wasn't personally involved....
BUT> He travels in circles where he may know him.
Maybe its his 'traveling partner'.
One nice thing is that they got him and now he can face the charges in California even if he isn't the one who killed JonBenet. His fascination with the deaths of young girls and his pedophile past strongly suggest that he'd murder in the future if he hasn't done so already.
Maybe there was more than one person involved.
His wife says he's an expert on the case. Apparently he's pored over every detail. Maybe that explains his knowledge of the case that's been referred to in the reports that are coming out. Is this the typical media tendency to jump on a story before the details are known? Where's the Boulder connection with this guy?
From a sneeze some stories are saying.
This Karr fellow might even have planned both of the events he's reported to have studied in detail.
John Gibson was doing pretty much the same thing on his radio show earlier.
there is another thread running now - the tip that led to this guy - came from the Ramsey's.

Exactly......they have to link him to Boulder somehow
What did he say?
I agree with you.
Polly lived in Petuluma, so I can understand the heightened interest in a local murder, and Jon Benet's was a national story for months.
It'd sure be nice if he is the murderer.
alot of the same things people are saying here.
if he is the killer, they are going to have to explain all of the strange aspects of the case, and how he performed them all.
Yes, media rush to be FIRST.
Boulder police conference tomorrow morning. I'll wait for that.
