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.

Once again Boulder police are incompetent in following up on a lead given by another city on this Karr guy...in 2001 !

wonder how many unsolved crimes there are out there just because someone" didn't get back to us."

That is very misleading. The article says she is checking everything she can to see if he spent "the day after Christmas" with her.

JonBenet was killed during the overnight hours between Christmas Day, December 25, and the day after, December 26. Her body was "found" on December 26, but coroner's reports estimated that she may have been killed as early as sometime before midnight on Christmas night, December 25.

It has always been a bone of contention that the Ramseys put her death date on her tombstone as December 25, 1996, when they "allegedly" didn't know the exact date of death. They just *liked* using the Christmas date (as John said, "to remind the world" of the day the world went nuts, or something to that effect).

So, if Rains, Lara Knutson Karr's attorney, has instructed her to look for receipts or pix relating to December 26, that is a problem. I wonder who told him that date - Mary Keenan Lacy? Hmmm.

I'm afraid she is being led on a wild goose chase about this. Everyone is, but especially about this crucial mistaken detail.

The old suspicions about Karr, 41, emerged Friday as one of his former wives combed through old family photos, mementos and financial records to establish whether Karr was with his family on Dec. 26, 1996, the day the girl's battered body was discovered. Karr told reporters this week that he was with JonBenet when she died. Michael Rains, an attorney for Lara Knutson, who was married to Karr for a dozen years until late 2001, said Friday that she is looking for tangible evidence to reinforce -- or perhaps refute -- her memory that her then-husband spent that day after Christmas with her and their three sons in Alabama, where they lived at the time.

If you'd read the article, she's not changing her story at all. She's in search of actual proof now instead of going with her initial impression.
