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.

Makes sense. Thailand is a well-known destination for pedophiles looking for child prostitutes.

A second grade teacher?
Quick, call the NEA, this guy has been framed!
He was just doing summer research in Bangkok in preparation for another year with the 7 year olds of Georgia.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out. The "ransom note" has always been a point of discussion. The handwriting in the note showed marked similarities to JonBenet's mother Patsy and the length of it is also a source of suspicion. A FOUR PAGE ransom note? Patsy died recently so this case might just be closed, regardless of the new suspect.

Why would you think it would be interesting how it pans out? Sounds like you mind up your mind long ago.

I am wondering if somehow, the passing of Mom reunited her with her child and also has allowed her to maybe push this one over the top and finally get resolution.
May this perp rot in hell , after due process, of course.
The suspects name is
John Mark Carr , not sure of exact spelling

I would like to see the evidence they bring against him. And how it refutes evidence that pointed to Patsy.
