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.

Actually the more I know, the more I think he is the one
Just wow.
Me too! I've been enjoying the "SciFi Book Thread" posted by Hacksaw.
Here's wishing you good dreams. (or at least dreams where freaks that molest and murder little girls receive sure and swift justice -I know, swift justice, only in my dreams....)
Hmmmmmm well I guess its me and common tator then
sure and swift justice dreams back to you
For some reason, Karr reminds me of Shepard Smith...
I don't agree with him and I usually do. But I guess we'll all know soon enough.
You're in GOOD company with CT. I sure hope you're both right!
Actually, the more I know, the less I think it could possibly be him.
I was wondering about "ladyboys" too. Is that anything like a "girlyman"?
I would put them in the same category!
Explains the manboobies and the constant pulling at the front of his shirt and the "coquettishness" I noted earlier. Heshe was apparently taking the hormones in advance of the surgery.
Close-ups on TV showed green eyes or bluish-green contacts. Other shots have made his eyes look darker than that. I hope he wasn't trying to look like JBR. Icky-poo.
lol
Hillary's .......... none.
Maybe because Shep is so pretty. This Karr guy seems to like his own eyes. Did you see him in that "press conference"?
A woman I know loves old Shep's eyes.
;-)
Yes, noticed that the first day.
This guy wants to be a woman...... a pretty woman.
Ugh!
How about this guy?
I read on FR the first night (early morning) this broke .... a FReeper suggested he was over there involved in a sex-change operation.
Later that morning I called into my favorite talkshow and was able to tell the audience that this was a possibility.
Those folks are going to think I have a brain in my head if this is true.
