The man who confessed to killing JonBenet Ramsey had another bizarre secret up his sleeve in the months before his arrest - he was visiting a surgical centre that specialises in sex-change operations.
Staff at the Pratunam Clinic, Thailand's top transgender centre, told the New York Daily News yesterday that 41-year-old John Mark Karr was a patient of theirs - but wouldn't say how close he was to getting "sexual reassignment" surgery.
"Yes, he had treatment here," a representative said. "He was our patient. He came a number of times. But we cannot give out details on his treatment as we are ethically bound to keep these things private."
The disclosure came a day after The News reported that Karr sought cosmetic surgeons' help changing his face in Bangkok. In his nine months there, he made 12 phone calls from his hotel room - nine of them to plastic surgeons.
Two calls were to the Pratunam Clinic, which specialises in putting men under the knife to become "ladyboys" and also sponsors the annual World's Most Beautiful Transsexual competition. It charges $US1600 ($2105) for the surgery, which could cost $US25,000 ($A32,900) in the West.

I really hope they get their evidence before bringing him back. If the DNA doesn't match...leave him there.
Me too. I really hope he's the one.
Yes I hope he is the one
ping!
Too late, as he is on a plane back
What sex was he going to change to?
This guy has some big time problems. If the DNA doesn't match (which I suspect it won't) are they just going to turn him lose on society?
He is a fugitive on possesion of child porn so I imagine he will be going to jail for while some time
It's flight, TG794 is do to arrive in Los Angeles at 8:40pm PST August 20.
That's a long flight.
LOL
Thanks
Media will be waiting...
9 were to the plastic surgeon.
2 were to the sex-change clinic
By my math, that leaves 1 call unaccounted for.
It's midnight, but the first thought in my fuzzy little brain was "I wonder... who else did this freak call?"
I should probably just go to bed!
One time we flew a mission from Thailand to Yakota, Japan and then to Travis. Flying time to Japan was 10 hours. Flying time to Fairfield was 9 hours.
You and me both
But I am gonna do a little reading first so this
won't be the last thing on my mind before turning in
Don't wanna have nightmares
Probably. *sigh*
Where was all the money coming from?
I really don't think he is.
