A U.S. law enforcement official tells CNN that the man held in the slaying of JonBenet Ramsey offered details about the condition of her body that have never been made public.

Thailand?
That doesn't explain too much...not to me, anyway.
SCTC could stand for quite a few things.
The strangeness is that Karr made such a big deal and flourish with this in a HS yearbook, then years later confesses to a notorious murder in which not only SBTC appears as a big deal and flourish at the end of the ransom note, but the word Victory accompanies it, which dovetails quite well with the concept he was trying to get across in the yearbook entry.
The idea of personally triumphing over others is the idea he was pushing back then, and if you read the ransom note it taunts the Ramseys and esp. John Ramsey, and makes all kinds of braggadocios statements that are totally beside the point of a mere ransom plot...or even a mere sex crime, for that matter.
DNA alone is not sufficient for conviction. you go to a store, you look through some clothing there - touching the items as you browse. your DNA is on those clothes. now some person comes in and buys the coat you were just touching, the next day they commit a murder and leave that coat at the scene. your DNA is on that coat too.
WOW! That's something. Do they have DNA evidence in those cases?
and if you were the killer, an intruder, wouldn't you have taken that rope and the paintbrush with you when you left the house? why leave it behind as evidence, when all you had to do was slip it in your pocket.
I'm not as concerned as to whether the DNA matches, there wasn't much DNA left at the crime scene and Henry Lee has repeatedly said this isn't a DNA case. The more important fact to me is if they can tie him to Colorado during the time of the murder.
I like your characterizations of where the ransom note - writer appeared to be coming from. Like he was some great big deal, and he was letting them know he was so great and so clever and powerful that he could pull off whatever, get away with it, and there was nothing even they...well-known and wealthy people...or anyone else for that matter, could do about it.
Not so much a ransom note, was it, really?
No, it was more of a self declaration that he wanted to communicate. Include in that the point that he even knew about the 118,000 dollar bonus. Oh, my, how very clever and "victorious" he is. See, everybody!!! See!!!
"wouldn't he know if his wife was corresponding with him??"
Last night on the news someone said that Patsy NEVER corresponded with the pervert. Emails were diverted to the police.
hmmmmm... You're right, maybe it was not truly set out to be a ransom note but more of a bragging and I am in control note. Maybe we need to stop looking at it as a ransom note.
Whats the latest on the Santa Clause Doll?
We don't want him getting off on an "insanity" plea or even "2nd degree".
He was very careful to say on "live TV" that "it was an accident".....He also said: "That makes it 2nd degree".
This is not a "stupid" person. He may want us to think he's nuts. But he's toooo deliberate.
This was well planned. Even the long note...A ransom note for a dead girl? And you expect them to find the body and send you the money?? No....It goes to his "accident" statement. "See, it was an accident. I just wanted the money."
He didn't think that part out correctly. He must have been "mentally excited" at the time he wrote the note which was probably only a few hours before the murder. (It was not written at the scene.)
About the note: When I do a job or write a letter to a client or whatever, I make the rule to wait 24 hours and look at it again. It's VERY difficult to catch your own errors or to write something which might be misinterpreted. Short and to the point is the rule. His "rambling" did him in.
One of his "live" comments about the crime was: "It'll take several hours" to explain it.
Your post wasn't addressed to me...but to be wildly speculative, I think there are a lot of reasons those things can me left behind/explained, not the least of which is that he used items from the house so he would be better off leaving them than risk being discovered with them later.
IF (and that is a huge gigantic if) he is the one who did it, I honestly believe he did not intend to kill her.
He could have taken the body but never planned on it to start with. His intention was ALWAYS to kill the "love of their life". Being a girl, it was especially directed at the father and the note confirms it.
Karr was on foot and likely not far away when he heard the sirens. THEN he left the immediate area. VICTORY!!
The note also indicates that his obsession was not solely JonBenet, but carried over to her family. He was obsessed with JonBenet's world.
>>>He used to be quite handsome. He seems to have lost alot of weight in the past few years being on the lamb.
You mean "on the lam"...but with this sicko, you could be right about that too!>>>
DOH!! That's what you get when you write quickly without thought.
there isn't alot of third person DNA at this scene - Henry Lee has reported that over and over - some saliva on the underwear (a sneeze he guesses), some skin cells under her nails. and I believe the underwear DNA was found years later.
you say the note was not written at the scene? so he had to have been in there before to get the paper. and I also thought there was evidence of some "practice notes" found at the scene, which would imply it was written there. was the note paper folded, was it creased? there is no way he could have carried the note in with him, and not have had to have folded it to put it in his pocket.
Very interesting comments today...I wish I could participate but my 4yo grandson is here and I could only sneak a peak..
