BOULDER, Colo. - A man suspected in the slaying of 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey nearly a decade ago was arrested Wednesday in Thailand, the district attorney said.

District Attorney Mary Lacey said the arrest followed several months of work. She disclosed no details about the suspect before a news conference scheduled for Thursday.

Federal officials familiar with the case, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the man was already being held in Bangkok on unrelated sex charges. CBS reported that the suspect, a 41-year-old second-grade teacher, will be brought back to the United States this weekend.

Ramsey family attorney Lin Wood said in Atlanta that he has been told that the suspect once lived in Conyers, Ga., outside of Atlanta. He would not comment on whether the Ramseys knew him, and he said he knew nothing else about the man.

Lin said the Ramseys learned about the suspect a least a month before JonBenet's mother, Patsy Ramsey, died in June.

"It's been a very long 10 years, and I'm just sorry Patsy isn't here for me to hug her neck," Wood said.

The girl was found beaten and strangled in the basement of the family's home in Boulder on Dec. 26, 1996.

That sure was quick wasn't it?

Have you thought that this guy is a relative of his?

This guy deserves a very swift trial and a very swift execution!

Uh, you may want to wait a bit on the execution. All the information we have now is about as reliable as a phone chain in the Harper Valley PTA.

Most criminal profiles will tell you the vast majority of child killers and sadistic tortures are NOT pedophiles. You may be right. Can you cite a source (other than NAMBLA) that asserts this to be true?

A tombstone or grave marker can't be put in place at a grave for about 6 months because the ground of the grave needs to settle first. I guess otherwise there'd be tombstones falling over or cockeyed all over the graveyard.

See my post #1051 on the above thread. Or talk to anyone in law enforcement or go to the library and read up on how many criminals in child killing/torture/abduptions turn out to be "pedophiles". You'll find the vast majority are situtional offenders who thrive on power and are not sexually attracted to children in the least.

Michael Jackson might be a sick puppy, but I doubt Mikey could hack anyone to pieces if he wanted to. Ditto with most pedophiles. They tend to be immature docile little creeps.

Good Lord, you needn't get so defensive! I meant that anything posted on my-space should be taken with a grain of salt. My point was that there was still more questions than answers after these new revelations. It's looking more and more like I was right in being skeptical.

[garbageseeker]

I sincerely apologize for being so defensive. Please accept my sincere apologies.
