Just breaking on KUSA-TV in Denver that the suspect arrested today in the case matches the DNA at the crime scene. Nothing on the web yet...
She died in June of cancer.
I wonder if we'll see any retractions and apologies from the media and tabloids who blared headlines and "special reports" suggesting/hinting that Patsy Ramsey was responsible for the death of her daughter?
Geraldo was on MSNBC at the time, and if FOX existed, it was barely getting off the ground back then.
"Chief Moose would have done a better job."
Forgot about that one.....
LOL!
Nancy Kerrigan will cry, WHY WHY WHY..........
You, too? It's just uncanny. The first thought to enter my mind, upon hearing of this, was "Thailand?" I wonder how many others thought "Thailand?," on FR alone?
Actually there is a solution to your problem. Do what I do - don't watch Greta. Trust me it works.
bingo!

""Officials close to the investigation, who spoke on a condition of anonymity, said the American man, 42-year-old John Mark Karr, was already being held in Bangkok on unrelated sex charges.
Colorado authorities scheduled a news conference Thursday to discuss the case of the slain girl, but declined further comment. Eyewitness News' Jim Dolan has more on the story.
She was a beautiful, rich six-year-old girl and she was brutally murdered on Christmas Day in 1996. Few cases have captured the attention of America in quite the way JonBenet Ramsey did.
But with all that attention, no one was ever arrested for the crime -- until today. Sources tell journalists in Colorado that a reporter who has written stories about JonBenet, recently began to get e-mails from a man in Thailand, a man who seemed to know an awful lot about the case. Those e-mails lead to the arrest today in Thailand. A TV report says the suspect is a 42-year-old second-grade teacher who will be brought back to the United States this weekend."

Any JB Ramsey news junkies here? Around the time did the Ramsey's have any home reconstruction going on? I might have a 'net page lead...
If thats the case,fry the SOB.
I'm hearing that there was absolutely no DNA evidence ... the only DNA at the crime scene was family DNA. The individual arrested has an alibi ... his family states he was home for Xmas that year ... no where near Boulder, CO.
I'd like to see some apologies from Freepers who literally danced on the grave of Mrs. Ramsey when she died. This is so very sad, that she passed without having the chance to see her daughter's killer brought to justice.
I read that the ramsey's were informed of this suspect a month before pasty died.
I hope this case once prosecuted will bring some final closure to the father and brother and there should be apologies by those responsible in the media and law enforcement who generated the false suspicions.
Really? I've always heard that there was unknown dna, not belonging to any of the Ramseys. Who's saying there wasn't now?
It's my understanding that she (Patsy Ramsey) was aware of this culprit being identified and his impending arrest before she died, so she at least will be able to tell Jon Benet when she sees her that they finally got the scumbag.
I've noticed that on FR.
Many post the same thought within seconds of each other. Not just on this thread, but on many.
My daughter followed the case, and when I spoke to her on the phone today, her first response was "Thailand?"
