Arrest in JonBenet Ramsey Case Expected "Shortly"

An arrest in the JonBenet Ramsey case is due to happen "shortly," according to sources in our newsroom -- I know I can't post the link to our site (we're a Gannett station, and despite the "ban", I would welcome the traffic), but most of you know where I work and what the site is...

According to our sister station in Denver, an arrest took place early this morning in Thailand.

Stand by for details and updates as they come in.

If you can FRmail me the ones your buddies came up, I would like to read them.

The bad guys are entertaining for the liberals when they defend scum.

One lady lawyer I dated had that bit of idealism about defending people when she was newly licensed.

After doing the job for a short time she found they all did it, there wasn't even anyone she felt didn't do what they were charged with and she went into another field.

She had the decency to want to live with what she does....

[A CA Guy]

How do you like the mentions of him bathing little girls in the resume?

That was something.

Problem is BK that Kofi Annan came forward to say Israel is responsible for it.

That's BS about Santa. Theirs was Bill McReynolds, who is now deceased.

Karr's arrest was in April 2001 and he had his teaching credentials revoked in April 2002. There was also a charge of controlled substances with a minor in there somewhere that doesn't seem to have been prosecuted.

[A CA Guy]

Or the guy could have been the Santa for the friends of the family and he was their guest at the Ramseys.

Well see what happens.

[garbageseeker]

This guy is a serial child molester/pervert.On top of that, a child killer. This is why law enforcement such as Interpol,the FBI and local law enforcement needs to examine his life over the last ten years under a microscope. This guy is a very sick and disgusting individual. I'm glad they caught him and I hope that they give him the death penalty.

[BagCamAddict]

And as I said, there is also an overwhelming link between being MALE and being a pedophile.

I don't have the numebers either, but males are involved in pedophelia to the tune of XXX TIMES (XXXX%-XXXX%) the rate as normal people.

Gee, I don't know where that perception that males are frequently pedophiles comes from, how strange.

So should I protect my children from all MALES just because the overwhelming majority of pedophiles are males?

Well actually, I do, because there are simply so many sick MALES out there, of whatever sexual orientation they may have. And I hope no one tries to dispute THAT fact, because the rampant porn and child porn industry wouldn't be thriving like it is if there weren't hundreds of millions of perverted males out there.

[Elyse]

I'd love to know (in this media frenzy) what caused them to decide to arrest this guy. I hope it was not a hunch.

It sounds like they are in possession of some correspondence of his, but it's not really clear right now. They have been investigating this lead since before Patsy died, so I would think they have lots more than a hunch.

[Rte66]

[Enchante]

"Law enforcement needs to seriously investigate all the things he was doing for the last 10 years."

Corrrect, except that I'd say they'd better try to scour his life for at least the past 20-25 years. His resume gives all sorts of mostly-vague "teaching" activities for the past ten years. Before that he claims to have had an unspecified private business restoring homes back to the early '80s, which leaves basically his entire post-adolescent life mostly unknown so far. From what I've read about these sickos, it's hard to believe Jon Benet Ramsey was his only victim, sad to say.

[madison10]

Does the guy have AIDS? If not, he sure has SOMETHING.

[Enchante]

Apparently there's quite a package of email correspondence he conducted with a CO professor who became suspicious about him and tried to string him along, trying to get more info, for quite awhile:

http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_4923202,00.html

They are being quite reticent with the details so far, but "hundreds" of emails exchanged with the prof would seem to indicate quite an obsession with the matter.

[Rte66]

Obviously, I don't know, but he's squirrelly as all get out.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Like most people you obviously didn't know the real facts in the case.

Of course not.

If you suspected the oldest brother, then you didn't know that it was proven that he was miles and miles away in Atlanta, Georgia that night.

Yes, that detail came out later.

If you suspected the 9 year old brother, then you didn't know that the police completely cleared him after several intensive sessions with police and a psychologist where his parents were not even present.

Police always initially suspect the family members because they know the victim better than anyone else. That doesn't mean they're not right, or doing a sloppy job. It's typical of any investigation, with few leads, and where there is family involved.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Looks like Ned Lament.

[PghBaldy]

I too thought the pageants odd, but then saw Patsy's sister interviewed last night who said they are big in the South, and that she and Patsy ended up becoming Miss WV & getting $$$ for college. It may be a cultural thing. The other thing is, most of the famous cases of child abductions recently did NOT involve beauty pageants.

[jennyjenny]

Look, I could argue my theories very convincingly, but I don't really want to get into this case in any detail. It's been discussed more than enough on the web, and I am not an expert on all aspsects of this case. You two seem very convinced that the parents have told everything they know to the police and you're highly emotional about this case, so let's just end this discussion.

"Highly emotional" about this case? Me? lol I didn't even check my pings on this for over 12 hours. You're the one who seems to want to take your ball and go home. Let me know when you're ready to argue your theories very convincingly, lol. I'll try really hard to keep my emotions in check. lol

Hahaha.....ahhh...no wait....bwahahahahahaha....ahhhhhhhhhh..... you're funny.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I am so sorry about your son.

My 15 year old son lost a good friend a few weeks ago. A freak accident, one of those thing that will never make sense except to say "it was time for God to call him home."

He was truly a good kid. He was the leader and the workhorse.

His parents lived every parent's nightmare and God knows as much as I wanted to have magic words, there were none. I pray for you as I pray for them, May God comfort your heart.
