I think the mistake the Boulder DA made was going public before the testing was performed, thus creating or exacerbating the media circus. Altho... she may not have had much choice, not sure of the timeline - was he picked up in Thailand, by the Thais, only on the request of the Boulder DA? That was when the story hit the airwaves w/ his 'confession' to reporters.

I agree....Err on the side of caution

He was picked up by Thai officials and a Boulder DA investigator.

The Thai people put Karr in their jail as a courtesy to the Boulder DA, who had someone in Bangkok for 3 weeks, working on finding this guy, whose name was unknown at the time. Thai cops had been on the case for several months, once the emails had been tracked to the area.

Mary Lacy gave the hurry-up directive to pick "Daxis" up at that time, because they just found that he had gotten another teaching job with young people and at the same time, he had been describing a relationship to Michael Tracey, a professor/writer in Boulder with whom he had been communicating anonymously for 4 years, that involved a young girl in Thailand.

Someone alerted John Ramsey of this, possibly Tracey, my best guess - but the first stories said Ramsey had been told by "authorities" in Boulder. Since the Boulder DA's office is the only LE on the case now, that would mean Lacy or possibly Tom Bennett.

Within minutes, it was on MSNBC, with Dan Abrams apprised of the situation. Soon thereafter, Ramsey mouthpiece Lin Wood was all over everywhere saying the case was closed.

The media wildfire came from that origin.
