Can anyone be more specific about the distance between the Ramsey home and the bus station?

[mtbopfuyn]

I want DNA and fingerprints.

There is definitely too much useless news on Iran, Lebanon, Terrorism filling the news papers and pushing world critical and overwhelmingly important news of the 10 year old Jon Benet murder off the front page and out of the minds of folks. Please, MSM, give us Jon Benet all the time, 24 hour coverage and let all that other terrorist drival be relagated to being ignored, it doesn't mean anything anyway as far as the state of the world is concerned.

[dubie]

looks like peolpe trying to get a quick 15 minutes of fame on the drive by obsession of this case...

In fact, I saw ther perp John Karr buying gerbals in the local petshop a few hours before the murder. /s

I am sure I can also remember everyone I saw the morning of Dec. 26, 1996. I can also remember every phone call, and what I had for breakfast. Sarcasm off. If the DA is counting on this testimony her case is in deep trouble.

Also give us more of Gary Condit/Chandra Levy, Scott Peterson/Amber Frey, OJ Simpson and Michael Jackson. After all, Greta needs to make a living, too.

Rove contrived this whole new twist just to get the spotlight off of the president./sarc

[expatpat]

Pretty weak. Useless, I'd say.

December 26, 1996, 12:30 a.m. bus station in Boulder?

If Karr did arrive in Boulder at that time, by his admission, he was in the Ramsey house until they returned from the party that night. So, that would put Karr in Boulder for roughly 24 hours (5 or more of those hours inside the Ramsey house), plus the airplane or bus trip back to Alabama/Georgia.

Surely, the Karr family would have noticed Karr's absent for around a day-and-a-half during that holiday.

The Karr story smells, still. Even with this 'revelation'.

At first glance it does seem odd that this man would recall so much after ten years, but there are some things that make it more plausible. He did report it contemporaneously soon after. I was a witness to an incident in Honolulu back in 1986 and I remember all the details I reported to the police. Secondly it did occur on the day after Christmas. It's the same thing that makes me remember exactly what I was doing when I heard about the World Trade Center coming down, and people of a certain age remember what they were doing when Kennedy was shot.

A few weeks ago, I noticed one of the ET-type tabloid programs advertising new revelations about Marilyn Monroe.

Even 20 years ago, I noticed that the newsies would pull out a 'new' news item on certain persons. It was usually filler for a slow news day. Typical personages for the 'new' news items includes, John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis. There were a couple of others that would alternate, but those 3 were the primaries. And most of the 'new' news revelations were not much more than the 'new' news revelation in this article.

Yep, you can take to the bank what you learn from a bus rider.

[beckett]

I saw Karr, too. He was in my living room, crowding out more important matters while he lusted after his fifteen minutes.

As much as I appreciate FoxNews, sometimes I think late-night Fox is a pale imitation of morning-after Enquirer. Greta: call your voice coach- your voice pitch is really annoying and your show seems more & more like a "filler" for slow news days; find a more intellectually challenging spot for yourself- you have the raw materials for a better format.

[greasepaint]

lots of people remember details about their personal situation when
they heard that Kennedy wvs shot.

So, I tend to believe you.

with that said,
please inform us,
where were you when you heard about the JonBenet killing?
who else was with you?
what clothes were others wearing?
was any of their clothing stained?

"Rove contrived this whole new twist just to get the spotlight off of the president./sarc"

You do realize that the DUmmies floated that exact theory when this story broke don't you?

It is pathetic what people consider news today. It wouldn' surprise me that more time and attention has been given to this soap epera than 9-11.

I'm waiting for the movie version written and directed by the guy who did Friday The Thirteenth. Does anyone know the release date?

"Captain. Please take me off this case. After 10 years, the cameras and reporters are so annoying."

And she's constantly being brought in on BO and H&C for an effective three hour slot every night.

And some of us remember what we were doing when news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was announced on the radio.
