JonBenet Ramsey D.A.: More Work Needed
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - The district attorney in the JonBenet Ramsey slaying says there is "much more work" to be done in the case against the suspect and she is warning the public not to "jump to conclusions."

"That is why I have decided to reveal the true cause of her death at this time. Besides, if I had come forward with the details of her suicide earlier, I might have had to return the trophies she had won, and that would have broken my heart."
Smells of BS to me.
What a horrible story, Wolfstar. Sickening for that poor woman's family to contemplate.
Excuse me. I didn't know you were THE authority on why LE authorities hold press conferences to thank each other.
They needed to give kudos to those who assisted them.
IF -- repeat, if -- they need to do so, it can be done privately or through a press release. They don't need to grandstand in front of mics.
Chloroform. He did he manage to keep it from knocking HIM out? You have to really be careful with that stuff.
That doesn't sound right to me either and I'm wondering if anyone else has ever heard of that media outlet because it sounds like something the National Intruder would print.
The first thing the Ramseys did was to "lawyer up".That and other things strongly suggest that they know what happened..even if neither of them actually did it.
The story that this clown in Thailand is telling is already collapsing.When the collapse is complete the case will be back at square one.
I'm not an expert, but I think traces of chloroform would have been found around her nose and mouth...and in her system....
His lap top contents are going nail him one way or the other. I would check his calender back to December 1996...like now.
You're giving way too much credit to someone who is in a quasi-policial position. By the standard you have set, a certain DA up for re-election in North Carolina would never have charged the Duke Lacrosse team with rape.
Patsy Ramsey died in June of ovarian cancer after battling the disease since 1993.
Karr told AP he had written to her before she died.

I would think so as well, mystery.
Yes, truly horrible. Aside from why a long-time LAFD captain would do such a thing, it's doubly tragic that the victim's young daughter would find out about it from some scumbag reporter. Notice the L.A. Times story cops still had not officially ID'd the victim as of this morning, yet that reporter didn't bother to respect the usual practice of waiting until the official ID and notification of next of kin.
Smart (and rich) people lawyer up regardless of their guilt or innocence. It would be of no help to finding your daughter for you to be charged as the killer (which would mean that the police would stop looking for the real killer).
You know, 25 years ago, a reporter would be reprimanded by brass for talking to such a young child and notifying the child of their mother's death in such a way.
Too late for Barbara Walters. She went on record on Nightline last night and said that after interviewing the Ramseys, she never thought they were capable of killing someone they loved so much.
...and whining about it.
I didn't claim to be THE authority on anything. I said "I have already addressed this", because your statement was in a response to one of my posts. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Most reporters are creeps and will do anything for a story, I'll give you that.
Allright, everybody, I want you to sit back and hear something and tell me what you think about this Karr fellow and this Ramsey case because this has my skin crawling:
1. In the autumn of 2002, I was an English teacher in Paris, France, and used to go to Sunday parties at a bookshop called Shakespeare and Co. One day, I was sitting down and heard this fellow with a Southern accent (Karr had a southern accent) talking about how he had just gotten back from a short sting teaching English in South Korea (Karr mentioned time in South Korea), and I struck up a conversation with him because I had once taught EFL in South Korea, and this fellow introduced himself to me and had the same name as the suspect except he spelled the last name with a different letter, but anyway, this fellow, who bears a resemblance to the guy in the photographs (short, thinning hair, sometimes wears glasses, but is a lot thinner than the fellow I met in 2002 -buy, hey, anyone can lose weight) started chatting with me. I learned the following: he was from Atlanta (like Karr), loved working with children (like Karr), had worked as an au pair in the Netherlands (as Karr did and which is very, very unusual for a man), was born in 1964 (like Karr), did carpentry (like Karr, who restored Victorian-era mansions) and was in Paris (as Karr claimed on his CV)...now is that coincidental enough?
Anyway, I spoke with this guy for a bit and he seemed to be pleasant enough, but I just found him odd as most men are not involved so closely with young children and why a guy who was 38 at the time didn't seem to have his life more together (I mean, living in a bookshop, not having a work visa, etc. is a bit sad at 38). Anyway, a few weeks later, I went back to Shakespeare and Company and saw him again. I asked him what he had been doing, and he told me that he had gone to Istanbul and sought a teaching job, but that it hadn't worked out, so he was back in Paris and running out of money (now, another coincidence: Karr mentioned time in Istanbul on his CV). I never saw him again and once in a while, whenever I wondered about people who had not gone very far with their lives, I thought about him, and now I read this and wonder: is it the same guy? The only differences are that this guy is thinner and spells his name with a "K."
2. Just to let you know, I eventually came back to the United States and went back to university and got certified as a high school Spanish teacher, but I work full-time for a university as an administrator, where I am very happy. I can tell you that EFL/ESL teaching, unfortunately, has attracted a lot of freaks and disreputables, especially in Asia, and I am glad that that part of my life is over. What puzzled me about this guy that I met in Paris was that if he loved working with children so much, why wasn't he a primary school teacher in the U.S., who just spent his summers in Paris. That would have been logical, unless there had been something preventing him from teaching young kids, such as a revoked certificate (as Karr had in 2001).
Anyway, if you have any thoughts on what I have just posted, I would appreciate them. Thanks.
P.M.
Exactly. We celebrate nearly every Thanksgiving and Christmas here but once in a while we travel to a family member's house instead.
If I told you that in 1996 I'd have Christmas at my sister's house and she said she had it at my house, neither of us would be lying but going from memory.
