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."
Have the brother pee in a cup please.
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.
The father thought his son was dead???
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.
>>>That was a joke.<<<
And a good one!
he sounds like a satanist
Do you happen to know which one? PM me if you'd rather not have it on the printed page.
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.
I know. And some people are not.
Obviously.
(see post I responded to)
I wonder if he killed the twin girls as he "delivered" them.
