Mr. Johnson may be onto something. The more Karr talks, the less credible he gets.
The same day this hit the media, Drudge had an article quoting the ex-wife as saying he was in Alabama on the day of the murder.
There were at least three spurious confessions to the Sacco-Vanzetti murders. Of course, at least one of those was probably elicited by a bribe from the defense team . . . so that's not exactly the same situation.
I think there's a good chance this guy is just a loon who is obsessed with the Ramsey murder and has somehow convinced himself that he did it.
The "undisclosed details" thing here won't wash. Too many people were blabbing all sorts of stuff during the initial investigation. I'm sure there were plenty of leaks that never gained any public notice.
That was, in its day, the same sort of wildly notorious crime, only the fascination was with anarchists instead of the kiddie beauty pageant scene.
Need todays article in the SF Chronical. Ex-wife is now changing her story. Now she says he was with here the day after Christmas.

why does this guy remind me of pee-wee herman, also some kind of pervert....
If this is true, this is going to make a lot of people on another forum very upset.
Yes John Mark Karr is wack and yes he is delusional. I’m trying not to rush to judgment here or jumping to conclusions because I’d rather think this known pedophile did it rather than the parents, but he could still be guilty and still be delusional.
It is possible that after ten years, he’s reinvented his memory of the events whether he actually did it or not; his fantasizing about picking her up from school and it being an accident has now become his reality.
And the ex? Well she’d have no reason to come to his defense except she was a child herself when he married her and she bore his children as a child herself. What if she was drawn into his pedophilia either as a willing partner or an observer to other crimes?
She and his first child bride describe him as controlling and manipulative.
And then there’s more confusing and possibly contradictory evidence in the ransom note and a yearbook entry Karr made years earlier.
“The yearbook entry ends with Karr writing in capital block letters, "Though, deep in the future, maybe I shall be the conquerer and live in multiple peace."
“A ransom note found in the Ramsey home ended with the word "Victory!" and was signed "S.B.T.C." Authorities want to know whether those letters might stand for "shall be the conquerer" and whether they could have been written by the same person”.
It aint over till the fat lady sings. Her song is going to be about DNA.
I'm not sure how some law enforcement groups may act in all cases, but:
These folks out in Colorado, knowing this guy is a real threat to children and that he has done bad things to them already, if the DNA DOES NOT match, I wouldn't put it past them to say that it did match.
We would never know.
Bingo
"What's more, the coroner finds not a trace of either semen on or drugs in the girl. "
I thought they did find DNA in her pants.
Has anyone thought to ask her for such proof or, as is usually the case, am I the only one who thinks of these things?
