He was picked up in Thailand but was not in jail until the arrest. He also has outstanding warrants for his arrest from California for child porn and pedophilia related charges.
What I'm interested in learning is how the Boulder DA's office tracked him to Thailand, coordinated the arrest with Thai officials, the FBI and ICE and managed to keep any leaks out of the press.
The BDA investigator has been there for 3 weeks, I heard today. That person and some of the other contingency of LE people from other authorities checked into the Budget Hotel where Karr was staying in Bangkok.
He had been emailing regularly with Michael Tracey in Boulder for 4 years. Something he wrote to Tracey, right at this time when Tracey is trying to peddle another Ramsey innocence screed, "alarmed" Tracey and he notified the Boulder DA.
Keenan said this morning that they swooped in yesterday because Karr had gotten the job with the International School in Bangkok and had started teaching on Tuesday. And now Tracey gets his 4th telenovella perp to hang.
He e-mailed a professor and I wonder if they didn't trace it back somehow because of that. DOn't know what's possible, but that might be how they knew, or his family told the fuzz where he was.

Internet cafe's are the norm in Bangkok or Thailand. Tourists use them to stay in touch with family and friends while on holiday. I always use the same one or two locations when I am there. It costs about 1 thb per minute or 2 cents a minute.
The authorities probably gathered evidence on Karr without a court order from a judge appointed by Jimmy Carter! They also looked for a Caucasian, and ignored other, Thai people in Thailand, which is "racial profiling." Wait until Human Rights Watch hears about these travesties!
Yes, I'm wondering how they got this past the New York Slimes?
