Places him in Europe

[I_like_good_things_too]

Here sure gets around, doesn't he?

[kms61]

How does a person with his sketchy employment history afford to jet all over the world like he apparently did?

[Common Tator]

He had to get out of the USA after he skiped bail in 2001.

[butternut_squash_bisque]

"...apparently..."

Operative word, IMO.

[OldEagle]

"Sandrock travels the world covering running events, but this trip was used for research on an Ernest Hemmingway book he's preparing. "

I hope he spells it Hemingway in his book.

[my right]

has anyone ever said how Karr had the money to travel all over the place on a substitute teachers pay?

[nmh]

"Sandrock said Karr never discussed having visited Colorado, and never got the impression that Karr was a murderer, only extremely consumed with JonBenet Ramsey and her death. "

Me thinks he WANTS to be her murderer but is not.

Just an obsessed sick pedophile that would have LOVED to have molested this precocious little girl.

Carolinamom has figured it out.

I read through other resumes posted at job4teacher.com and saw a common thread...that candidates skip from job to job after a year.

I also read a sample contract and learned that the employers commonly supply living quarters in addition to salary and reimburse the hired teacher for his travel expenses after 3 months on the job. The employed teacher is responsible for paying his phone bill and supplying his food. So, this is how Karr and others like him (?) travel from country to country.

[nmh]

Also in Europe the countries are close together and trains to easily accommodate this travel that are cheaper than flying. Europe is tiny compared to the U.S. where states are more spread out.

[lysie]

That, too.

[hoosiermama]

Very interesting......But how would he get the money to go from GA/Al to CO. How expensive would an airline ticket and car rental be in 1996?

Wow! A FReeper posted several days ago that he/she had been in Paris and had haunted a little bookshop called Shakespeare & Co. and met John Mark Karr also!

We have too many threads now and I don't remember who it was. I've looked back a little and can't find the post - wanted to ping the FReeper (assuming it's not this guy, lol) to see this. Hoping he/she will notice it.

Amazing! This guy got around and made quite an impression. He told the FReeper about the nanny job in either the Netherlands or Germany, I can't recall which - I know the one he told the FReeper about was not the most immediate one on his resume - I felt he left that one out on purpose in telling this person.

Wish I could find it and also wondering what year the FReeper said it was - if it was 2002 - but I'm working on other Karr stuff, which I said I wouldn't. Just want to try to find out about the invisible means of support.

WE know the DA in Bolder has used the FBI and gone to the trouble of having him extradited.

I think they found his finger prints in the house were Jon Benet was killed. The fact that he had never been in any trouble with the law at the time of Jon Bene's murder would mean there were no FBI finger print file on him in 1996. It wasn't until 2001 that he got in trouble with the law. By then they were not likely checking finger prints with the FBI. After 4 or 5 years they would give up finding a match.

This DA ia a sharp cookie.. She would not have Karr brought back to the USA if she did not have compelling evidence of his guilt. We know it is not DNA, and it is not his confession... then that leaves finger prints.

Bolder = Boulder

He owned a Delorean car when he was in high school. How expensive is that?

His exwife told the media she knew he was with her on December 26, 1996. But since then she has recanted. And his brother told the media that he would offer proof that John Karr was home on December 26, 1996. He said he would offer absolute proof by last Friday. He has yet to do so.

[hoosiermama]

A Delorean is/was very expensive!

His mother died when he was around 12. He went to live with grandparents. (He was living in "a family home" in AL. with wife and three children.--- Possibly no house payment there.)

I noticed the brother did not appear the next night, as he told Greta he would.....Maybe he got a lawyer. His X has changed her story a bit too. Now just can't remember him not being with family.
If they got up and open presents etc. He could have used an excuse to leave (Study/work)

I checked the airline schedule. If he left Atlanta at 3:00 pm., he would arrive in Denver at 4:00 CO time. Did they still have red-eye flights back then? He could leave middle of night/ be back early morning before the family was around.....Would have to be well planned in advance.

[OldFriend]

LOL....working in the Boulder DA's office are you?

We could tell from her presser just how sharp she was..../s/

[Sacajaweau]

The nice things about fingerprints or palm print....You can fax them and KNOW whether you're on the right track.
