Jonbenet Ramsey Murder Suspect Remembered In Hometown For Flashy Car, Marriages To Teens
WSFA-TV Montgomery, AL ^ | 17 Aug 2006 | Alabama AP

Posted on 08/17/2006 6:02:44 PM PDT by commish

The man who claimed he killed JonBenet Ramsey was known in his Alabama hometown for his flashy red sports car. But he was also dogged by questions about his marriages to teenage girls and behavior in elementary classrooms where he worked as a substitute teacher.

John Karr, who lived in northwest Alabama from his preteen years until after the brutal slaying in Colorado, stood out in this rural town both for his gull-winged red DeLorean and his intelligence. Marion County School Superintendent Bravell Jackson, says people couldn't help but like him. Jackson taught Karr and later had to fire him as a substitute teacher amid parent complaints.

Sandra Ford, a retired fifth-grade teacher at Kilby School in Florence supervised Karr's internship, says she was concerned by the way he related to female students. Karr's marriages to teen girls also generated talk in the area. Court records show a 14-year-old girl sought an annulment of their "ceremonial marriage" in 1985. She claimed she feared for her life when she agreed to wed him in 1984, when she was just 13 and he was 19. Karr admitted she was a minor, but denied she was 13.

A judge granted the annulment. Karr later married Lara Karr, who was 16 when their twin daughters died the day they were born on September 1st, 1989. The girls, Angel and Innocence Karr, are buried in the cemetery of a rural church in a family plot. Former Sheriff A-C Tice says the twins were born at home. Probate Judge Annette Bozeman says Karr apparently delivered his children.

" His brother said he was a normal family man and he had never noticed anything odd about him."

Don't believe a word he says. He used to tell peopl ethat he was going to start his own cult. He thought David Koresh was a righteous dude.

He was only a school teacher for about three months at a private Catholic school in San Francisco.

Which is "only" about three months too long.

More to the point, ANY DeLorean in ANY condition would cost a heck of a lot of money, and this guy had no legitimate source of such funds that we've heard about. The only way someone like him could get hold of that sort of money, other than inheritance/family gifts (which doesn't sound likely for this family, and which I would think we'd have heard about by now anyway), is trafficking in child porn and/or child prostitutes. The sheer number of things that don't add up in the JMK story is getting mind-boggling.

There aren't any charges against him in Thailand. He wasn't going to be going to jail there or prison there for anything that is known about at this time.

That's not a reason for doing this.

Thank you. The only reason it was a joke is because he lived in AL and Smit was in CO Springs. Maybe it was at the national convention, lol.

" ... Karr was also a substitute at Convent of the Sacred Heart, an exclusive Catholic girls' school in San Francisco. Officials there say he was highly recommended by a superintendent in Georgia where he once lived. ..."

Some of the Catholic school teachers have already been on a couple of tab TV shows.

How did he afford a DeLorean on a substitute teacher salary?

I wonder if he killed the twin girls as he "delivered" them.

He's a very creepy primadonna.

I don't believe he killed the Ramsey girl but he WANTS the credit for murdering the precocious little girl. Face it, she was a pedophiles dream come true and because of that why I believe he wants the credit.

Some of us don't want to dance of the poor girls grave. She didn't have a choice in the matter. It has also come out that in some of her "pageants" some were asked to leave because of how they were behaving and viewing the precocious little girls. It would be a pedophile heaven to see these little girls dressed and posing so provocatively.
