MSNBC ^ | 8-17-2006 | MSNCB

Posted on 08/16/2006 11:53:09 PM PDT by Lurker

BANGKOK, Thailand - Thai police said Thursday that a 41-year-old American man has admitted to the killing a decade ago of 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey in the United States.

Lt. Gen. Suwat Tumrongsiskul, head of Thailand's immigration police, told The Associated Press that John Mark Karr confessed to the killing after his arrest Wednesday at a downtown Bangkok apartment.

"He told police while under arrest that he did kill the girl but so far he has not pleaded guilty in writing. This is needed as official evidence," Suwat said.

Doesn't mention Denver/Boulder specifically. He could have sexual assault victims or worse all over the world. They've really got a lot of investigating /notifying to do.

If it's a younger kid in that distant picture, they deserve every right to go through their weird stage IMO.

What was the old saying.

When a kid turns 13, put them in a barrel and close the lid only leaving a small hole.
At 16, seal the hold....

A joke about how hard kids can be obviously...

Not only that, but without doing a search regarding the truth of his current standing or if there was a criminal record, the owner of job4teacher could be sued to kingdom come perhaps if someone can prove they were damaged by Karr anywhere in the world as a result of hiring them through that website IMO.

That's true. He was supposedly wanted on child pornography charges in California. I wonder if this job's site does a background check on these people or is anyone free to post?

...how did he first meet her?

That's what I want to know and I also want to know how he was so familiar with the layout of the house that, presumably, he was able to take JonBenet out of her bed and transport her to the basement, where she was found, without making noise, being discovered, etc.

So far there are a lot of holes in this story.

I was listening to talk radios via Internet steam at around 6 o'clock Pacific time. Gosh, Michael Graham, Al Rantel, et.al, still think Patsy Ramsey killed her daughter. Did Patsy Ramsey intentionally clothed her daughter like a sexy beauty queen to entice pedophiles?

eeewwww! - I bet we find out this creep has a huge criminal history.

If his resume is correct, he's been all over the place. They've got a lot of travelling/interviewing to do.

Law enforcement needs to seriously look into this creep's past.

Huge house, dead of night, familiar perp... I remember a case in San Diego not long ago... girl taken from her bedroom with parents in the house. They were really low life people and everyone came to their defense and ultimately convicted the real perp (surprise, not the parents).
I guess if you are well off and the same happens to your daughter it's not the same... get out the thumbscrews, you must be a perv who killed your daughter.
The handling of this case disgusts me. Prayers for Jon Benet's Mom, may she rest in peace.

I bet this creep tutored her even if it was for one day only, or this creep tutored some other child that was in the pageant's with her and she caught his eye. This might be how he knew about the bonus possibly, maybe he heard the other moms talking about the Ramsey's at one of the pageant's? - Maybe JonBenet's Mom talked about it with one of her pageant friends and that mother may have gossiped about it with others at the pageant. These pageant mother's can be real nasty and back stabbing.

It looks like job4teacher.com will be out of business soon. It also looks like that they have some explaining to do. For example, why do they have a pedophile on their web site.

How long you figure before his profile gets deleted?

I think before tomorrow night and maybe under 12 hours from now.

Depends on how computer connected Kim is and whether or not he did the website or if he has to get someone else to make changes.

IMO, a site like this was done probably by him.
He obviously does no background check for the authenticity of the candidates, if so, a simple check for criminal a criminal record would have hit a red flag.

IMO, they (candidates) pay for being represented on that site.

They all could be Democrats in good standing and they look like that quite often as well.

There's the kicker:

-Computer Technology Proficiency (1996-2004) creation of PC's from the ground up. Hardware/Software upgrades
and diagnostics. HTML web design creating mailtos,
metatags, html links and overall artistic design.

-Real estate (1981-1996) Privately owned rental business. Restoration of mansions from the Queen Victoria Era.

He would *know* about blueprints, and how to get them online. And he may have sufficient skills to "tap" the Ramsey computer, either at work or home.
