Who raped Jonbenet with the paintbrush and why?

There's no process behind the graphic.

Glad to see that they're upholding the fine public tradition at the Boulder CO DA's office.

"I still think Patsy did it. Talk about loons! I saw part of an interview she had with cops in Boulder and her reactions to their questions were weird to say the least. JonBenet was found in an hidden basement room. Patsy's broken paint brush was used to tighten the garotte around the kid's neck, and the ransom note was written on Ramsey stationery with a Ramsey pen. An intruder did all this? Come on."

Patsy surely is a better suspect than Karr ever was. In addition to the paintbrush, there was the cordage used to bind JonBenet, the duct tape found at the scene, the pad that supplied the paper for the ransom note etc. All were in the home prior to the murder and further, all were bought by the Ramsey's. The duct tape, the cordage and brush were bought by Patsy at McGuckin's (sp.?) hardware in Boulder. The receipt was found in the house.

Ah, good...I see we're arriving at consensus.

Tell me, why were there early reports of Karr having been picked up in Thailand on sex-with-a-minor charges?

Was this just the MSM at it again?

A few posts back, someone corrected me: roughly 200 people said that they were the Lindbergh baby.

Yes, MSM failed to clarify that the "unrelated sex offenses" were the misdemeanor child porn charges in California. So everyone assumed he was busted for sex crimes committed in Bangkok.

How hard would it have been to add the prepositional phrase "from California" to the original story so it read that he was picked up in Bangkok due to "unrelated sex offenses from California".

Can't help but think it was mendacious and intentional.

what is wrong with the authorities in Boulder? They gave a bunch of reasons for arresting him for this crime, after he was let go, that had nothing to do with this case. Poor JonBonet. I seriously doubt if justice will ever prevail. This man should have been taken for the CA charge(s), not the Ramsey charges.

Interesting, but I don't think any of them were telling the truth. In all likelihood, they were psychotic individuals looking for their 15 minutes of fame.

Sort of like Karr in that sense, but Karr has been in the limelight for a bit longer than he had bargained for. Shortly his name will be remembered only by trivia buffs.

Suppose, suppose...that now that we have his DNA, we catch a match in the DNA database....not asscociated with the Ramsey case but a case in California.

Within a couple of days of the initial story, a poster here mentioned that he was being looked at for a little girl's murder in Georgia. I NEVER heard anything other than that one mention. That story may not be true.

But it sure would be nice to find something to lock this guy up for. He's just darn creepy.

I agree with you. I am shocked by some of the coverage on TV recently. People said things, with little evidence, didn't even use the word accused. I'm not even talking about the Ramsey case, per se. The one thing I have heard was the case at the school, where parents were disturbed. He wasn't charged for that from what I gather, but he was let go even so. He does seem very creepy to me, jsut from the videos I've seen of him, but how much of that is my assuming he's a molester of someone?

He should be tried for whatever he's charged with (kiddie porn), but that is not murder and rape. It is disturbing that he was in Thailand though, and I thought MAYBE that is what he was REALLY being arrested for: something he did there. It appears that is not the case.

The company he worked for developed mobile home communities around the US, but he had gone to work for the mobile home dealers' association and represented some line.

I don't have my notes where I can get to them, or I would name all those entities. If I run across it, I'll FReepmail you - but it's on one of a zillion disks I never did put on CD.

I was surprised, too. I have no earthly idea what he does now or where they are.

IIRC Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and California all were looking at him.

Now that there is a good example of his DNA, maybe it can be put in the FBI banks to see if there is a match. If so we should hear something in a month or two......after LE has had time to do an adequate investigation.

Watched Hannity and Comlmes tonight. They had a forensic psychiatrist on and he said he read transcripts of what Karr said. He said that Karr said he still was in contact with Polly Klaas. She comes to him as an angel. CO should have known this guy was a nutso.

I am shocked by some of the coverage on TV recently.

Television news, particularly what passes for news on the cable networks, is truly rotten at the best of times. This really got out of hand during the OJ Simpson case, and has just worsened over time.

They don't report, they speculate. They tell the public outright lies, and when they aren't doing that, they tell half-truths glossed over with the rankest speculation from so-called experts.

Karr clearly is a mentally unbalanced individual. He will face whatever charges await him for skipping out on those misdemeanor child porn possession charges. He'll spend whatever amount of time in jail that California law requires. Beyond that, the man should be allowed to slip quietly back into the anonymity from whence he came.

"Television news, particularly what passes for news on the cable networks, is truly rotten at the best of times."

Sad to say that even the weather channel has jumped aboard the political bandwagon. I had been busy all day yesterday, and finally sat down last night to find a recap on the latest prediction on Ernesto's path. When I turned on the weather channel what do I find? A year ago retrospective on KATRINA! A fine public service that was.

>>They start by CLEARING them<<

This isn't true. You can't convict or even indict someone just because they can't be "cleared." If I don't have an alibi for that night, or can't prove I wasn't in Colorado, can I truly be "cleared?" The answer is no, but that doesn't mean I was a suspect.

>>The Ramseys could NOT be cleared.<<

This is just BS. There was absolutely no evidence that they were the least bit involved.

>>inner circle refused to cooperate in finding their own child's killer.<<

What exactly did they refuse to do?

>>Instead, they went on CNN 5 days later!<<

Which all but proves they didn't do it. No competent defense lawyer is going to let his client get on TV or anywhere else and talk if there is a hint of doubt of their innocence.
