Would've been more telling if he or any other ransom note writer had capitalized Southern, as I'm always tempted to do.
Seeing as how I'm already posting on this thread, I'll add some things I saw on TV this afternoon.
Karr had taught at Bangkok Christian College in May and June 2006, before this other new school where he started Tuesday.
It is a boys' school and he taught an elementary grade, lol. One TV report on the scene said he taught 5th grade. Then, on another network, different show, also on the scene at the school, they said he taught 1st grade English. Take your pick, lol.
A parent of a student was on one show and said Karr was very mean and made her kid wet his pants, he was so scared of him.
One of them interviewed a co-worker there, another teacher who is named Bryce Smedley, who said Karr was too negative to be teaching there and he thought the guy was mentally unstable, although he wasn't saying that in a psychoanalytical way, he emphasized, lol. He said he doesn't have the credentials for that.
Umm. Oh, also they went to the Internet Cafe behind The Blooms (the dive hotel where Karr was staying when arrested, where also the US LEOs were staying while tailing him) - the girl there said Karr was in frequently and always looked all around over his shoulder while renting the puters. ($1/hr)
Also, he had a PO Box in Bangkok which he used for correspondence with Tracey and he told MT that he had a 21-speed bicycle. LEOs on stakeout at the PO Box ID'ed him by the bike he was riding when he came to get his mail.
Oh, another report was from the Intl school in Honduras where he had worked - this one was on Telemundo and I didn't see it, just heard a 3rd hand report on it - parents there also said he was too mean, which is why he was let go.
