Day 1996 photo that they believe indicates Karr was in Atlanta when the 6-year-old girl was killed in Colorado.
Gary Harris, an attorney for Karr's father, Wexford Karr, said Tuesday that the photo is of John Mark Karr's three children, along with a newborn nephew.
While John Mark Karr is not actually in the photo, family members "have no recollection of him missing a Christmas until the last five years," Harris said.
"They know that if his children were there, he would have been there," the attorney said. "They would have remembered it if they all had shown up and [John Mark Karr] had not shown up."
The nephew's presence in the photo is the basis for the family's belief that it was taken in 1996. Harris said the boy was born Dec. 11, 1996, and would have been bigger at any later Christmas gathering.
The photo, taken at Wexford Karr's home in Atlanta, was turned over to Boulder police investigators on Tuesday, Harris said. He said the family would not release the photo to the media to protect the privacy of the children in the picture.
Harris said John Mark Karr's family was living in Alabama in 1996 and had come to Atlanta for dinner on Christmas Day.
JonBenet Ramsey was killed that Christmas night in Boulder, and her body discovered the following day in the basement of the Ramseys' home.
Harris called "far-fetched" a law enforcement suggestion that Karr could have had dinner with the family, then flown to Boulder on Christmas afternoon.
"At the time this happened 10 years ago, [John Mark] Karr was living in Alabama with his family — they were a unified family at that time — and they had no money," Harris said. "It wasn't like he could just run out and buy a plane ticket. It doesn't make any sense."
This photo is NOTHING. It is a picture of his kids and nephew.
NO DATE
NO KARR
NO USE
Chopped off first paragraph some how...
Family members of John Mark Karr, the suspect in the slaying of JonBenet Ramsey, have found a Christmas Day 1996 photo that they believe indicates Karr was in Atlanta when the 6-year-old girl was killed in Colorado.
They could say HE took the picture!......../s
well, their family member is claiming he was there, and that he killed jonbonet.
but really... its christmas, and they have no picture of him with the family? i have got to be in atleast 100 different pictures during christmas.
Where is the picture of John, Lara, and the boys sitting on the couch -- you know the one that is taken at EVERY family gathering.
Sorry, to me this is more damaging than no photo. A Christmas full of pictures, including pictures of his children and not a single one of him? Doesn't wash.
Well, it's better than nothing. If the family says he was there and the family was united, odds are he was there just as they said. I'm sure there's more than one Christmas that I'm not shown in any of the pictures since I'm the picture taker and avoid the front side of cameras at all costs.
I have a photo of Ann Coulter eating from a dish. Does that mean your dog wants ME?
There has not been any indication I know of that any family member is inclined to falsely alibi for this measley pervert. Chances are that his 'confession' is phoney.
OH man, too bad you don't have a picture of your cat eating from the dog's dish. That would be indicative of a Menage a Trois with Ann and Michelle Malkin.
Paging Adnan Hajj.
NO No No, that proves that Diana Irey wants me to have her love child :-)
Next time please get it right /s
But he could tool around Hamilton in a Red DELOREAN?????
This guy needs to shut up, he is doing more damage than good.
I keep asking who was supporting this guy??
She is here with me now, and says she is SOOOO over you.
Why? He snapped the photo? Bought a cheap camera that had no self timer?
I know what you mean - I avoid cameras, as well. I think the picture might at least somewhat establish where they were that Christmas. I think they would remember if there was a Christmas that they did not spend together, as this is an unusual time to be apart (assuming the family is intact). It seems like the investigators would have tried to establish whether he could have even been in Boulder at the time of the murder before doing anything else. If he wasn't there he didn't do it, though I suppose it is possible that he might know something.
"I have a photo of Ann Coulter eating from a dish. Does that mean your dog wants ME?"
Only if she is licking the dish clean.
Agreed.
