Schnitt just announced the breaking news. The DNA for JM Karr is NOT a match for Jon Benet evidence.
Makes ya wish Hunter were back, huh? LOL - or that Trip had won the election!

KUSA - John Mark Karr was released from custody Monday afternoon after 9NEWS confirmed from two sources that his DNA did not match the samples taken from the crime scene in the JonBenet Ramsey murder case.
The Boulder County Sheriff's office says he was transported from the Boulder County Jail to the Justice Center by deputies. However, when authorities were told no charges would be filed, he was released.
Authorities in Sonoma County, Calif. did not request that the Boulder County Sheriff's office hold Karr on their outstanding misdemanor warrants of child pornography charges.
9NEWS confirmed earlier from different sources that no charges will be filed against Karr in connection with the Ramsey case by the Boulder County District Attorney's office.
The Boulder County public defender, Seth Temin, announced Monday afternoon that Karr will not appear in court at 4:30 p.m. for an advisement hearing as originally scheduled.
Samples of Karr's saliva and hair were taken in Boulder after his arrival on Thursday. Those samples were tested over the weekend inside the Denver Police Department's Crime lab.
9NEWS has confirmed that Karr's DNA is ruled out as the foreign DNA left on JonBenet Ramsey's body when she was murdered in December 1996.
JonBenet was covered in a blanket when her body was found. Foreign hair fibers were found on that blanket and they did not match any of the Ramsey family or approximately 100 people that were tested.
Karr was taken into custody in Bangkok, Thailand earlier this month in connection with the murder. He arrived in Boulder Thursday afternoon on a probable cause warrant for charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping and sexual assault on a child.
Karr said at a press conference in Thailand he was with JonBenet when she died.

So, while he's a free man in Boulder, Karr now has time to do a little sightseeing - like seeing the Ramsey house for the first time.
WOO-HOOO!!!!!
sw
No! We don't want him back here, then he'll be released here after he finishes his sentence.
To Aruba?
I'm hoping Thailand will get him back afterwords.
What is your source for this? I thought he was arrested outside his apartment.
To a golf course in North Carolina. : )
Patsy didn't ever communicate with Karr AS FAR AS WE KNOW. He sent her emails or snail mails, all of which were routed straight to the BDA's office without Patsy seeing them.
and the "real" JonBenet killer is looking a lot like the "real" O.J. killer!
I thought for sure CA would extradite him for the child porn charges they have against him. It just wouldn't make sense for them not to. IF I had little children I'd be a very worried parent knowing this nut is out there! ....sigh....
His family??
He was never really released..
Send him back.
He's not, though. They released him.
I made up the *putting him out on the street* part. The rest was reported on the TV news an hour ago.
