John Mark Karr Faces Porn Charges
http://www.crimelibrary.com/news/ap/0906/1408_karr_in_calif.html The Sonoma County Sheriff's Department said in a written statement that deputies initially went to pick up Karr on Sept. 7 but abandoned the effort "due to an evolving prospect" that federal charges were possible.
"At this point, we have excluded this option," sheriff's Lt. Dave Edmonds said.
Not good... it looks like maybe they don't have enough to bring federal charges on him or they simply ran out of time waiting on the FBI and had to move him back to CA before the 13th. Maybe the FBI is still combing through the laptop and needs more time.

You know I am not going to look at this as a bad thing.
CA had to get him by the 13th of September.
It could be that the FBI just needs more time to track down the things they may have found on Karr's computer (for a warrant to arrest him on Federal charges) The FBI may have decided it would be best to let Karr go on CA to face the 5 counts of child porn while they track down the stuff that may be on Karr's computer. The statement in the article tells me that the FBI is looking into what is on his computer, but they may have to follow it more throughly before a warrant would be issued. I have remember that they may have to travel overseas to investigate some of the things on his computer.
Maybe it is just wishful thinking that there is something on Karr's computer that will lead to more child porn or possibly a child he did molest overseas. But I would imagine it would take more time than a week or 10 days to go through his computer with a fine toothed comb.
