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."
Really. The guy seems to love the camera now--why was he so shy then?
In the footage you've seen since he was detained, have you ever once seen him avoiding the camera? This guy has never seen a camera--or an audience--that he didn't love!
I know. These threads are a silly waste. BTW, Here's a picture of my doggy and Blinkie the Cat.
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.
I have a picture of the Beast, Janet and Nancy!
I a;ready had Diana Rigg's love child in 1968.
All the people I've heard from who want Karr to be 'it' are those who want the Ramseys to be cleared. Their thinking boils down to "a rich white Daddy and a pretty white Mommy would never do anything to hurt their little baby princess girl."
Well, as far as I'm concerned, in the subset of people who would whore their child up in the infant beauty pageant business, not caring that she's going to grow up to be a self-absorbed, materialistic, psych-b!tch, its not unbelievable to me that there would be one couple evil enough to kill their kid, or at least cover it up, if circumstances were right.
I'll shut my mouth on this if the DNA comes up with a match, otherwise, the evidence is all necessarily circumstantial, or they would have caught this bozo back in 1997.
And the really weird part is the weird people following a weird story.
That's weird.
You should be glad my Mom is not sitting on your lap.
I'd bet my life that it was not the ex-wife that posted on the website. I've known her for years, and she would never have been involved in this sort of behavior.
But the sign...???
Perhaps the two of you should talk since both of you claim to have some insight into this family.
Good point! He certainly likes the attention.
I've always said, pugs have good taste!
I hear ya but I just don't see the motivation for the Ramseys to do it. They didn't need the money and surely they would not get the glamor from offering their child to pedophiles the way they would showing off their daughter in beauty pageants, even if you think the whole concept of beauty pageants for five and six year olds is perverse.
Patsy was a beauty queen herself in her day. I can she why she would have thought there was nothing wrong with guiding JBR down the same path. Putting her around a bunch of dirty pervs, though, would be a whole different story.
You are right, though, that most everyone who wants to believe Karr did it have an underlying belief that the Ramseys are innocent victims. I have nothing against them personally but I think the media had every right to be suspicious of them because of the way they responded to the tragedy of losing their daughter. Hiring lawyers and PR fiems while playing keep-away from the cops is not how I'd expect parents to react if they really believed a stranger murdered their daughter. They'd be all over the cops and the media demanding justice, not playing defense.
The weirdest part is people don't see that the parents did it
Get caught doing that, no more $118K bonuses for you!
Actually, she's a Lady, you know.
