"In truth, John Karr was being held while awaiting trial for five counts of child pornography, said Sgt. Rob Giordano, spokesman for the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department. When he finally was released on bond, he disappeared and was convicted in absentia. "Wexford Karr had never heard that his son had been arrested on any previous criminal charges. But a Colorado state official said John Karr has an extensive criminal record for sexual assaults across the South, including Tennessee."
That's the article I read. I think it 's that article, but might be another one, where John said in 2001 that he'd been arrested for killing Ramsey.
No wonder he was out of the country....
Anyone have access to police records in these areas?
