What strikes me the most about the whole Karr episode is the fact that the Boulder DA actually took that professor seriously. He had already fingered several men as the killer before ratting out Karr.
I think that professor is also quite strange. He seems equally obsessed with the Ramsey case as is Karr, only in a different way. Karr seems to have some sense of guilt for her murder, and desperately wants to convince others of it. The prof seems to want to be the big hero who solves the case.
Speaking of which, this is a case that will likely never be solved. Everything we in the public know of the case suggests the child was killed either by a family member or someone very close to the family, not an stranger.
Tracey really didn't know as much about the nitty-gritty of the case as he tries to project.
That's why I was glad I found a good group of people (except for a few bad apples) to bounce it off of when I started looking around online about it. I was 3 years late to the case online, even tho I had followed it whenever it was covered somewhere else.
We were good at distilling things down to their essence, after tearing them apart and living with them for long periods of time.
I saw an article yesterday in one of the CO newspapers, or maybe the synopsis of the Natl Enquirer online, lol - that went right down the list I had posted as to what Karr was lying about those first few days. They even used some of my sentences.
Now, that's like the "old" case days. Webforum owners on TV, media lurking on the forums ... that's fun.
What *isn't* fun is knowing more of the fine details than the DA. Uh-uh. Nopey nope - should NOT happen.
