Places him in Europe
I hope he spells it Hemingway in his book.
has anyone ever said how Karr had the money to travel all over the place on a substitute teachers pay?
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.
Things that make you go hmmmm.
Ok, this guy was a student teacher in Alabama, and according to a report I saw today he was confirmed as having worked there on Dec. 19, 1996. So he leaves his wife and young kids at Christmas and sets off cross-country (to a city there is no evidence he ever even visited) to kidnap this obscure little beauty queen (who remember was not world famous until after her death) from the safety of her own home (the layout of which he would have needed prior knowlege) during a holiday (when there is a high risk of lots people in the house with odd schedules) - all diabolically plotted from his freakin' home in Alabama?? What did he plan to do with her until the Ramseys ponied up the $118,000 demanded in the ransom note, keep her in his rental car?? A Motel 6?? Smuggle her back to the his home turf in Alambama?? This farce should have collapsed days ago.
The guy has made no bones about saying he loved Jonbenet, and even wanted a poem he wrote to be read at her former house. That doesn't sound like most kidnappers to me - remember, this is supposed to be a kidnapping gone awry. Kidnappers by nature threaten to harm or kill their victims, treating them like goods, and are very cold in that regard. Real child killers, like Richard Allen Davis, are equally cold and just take what they want, no notes. You could argue Karr is nuts, but the ransom note was not the work of a delsional nut - in fact, whoever wrote it made two drafts of it.
