The entire day has been weird. We have 2 missing journalists no one is talking about, dogs sniffing out explosives in Washington that they aren't finding, a woman who is either a terrorist with Vaseline, a screw driver, matches etc or a claustrophobic journalist running down the aisles yelling something about Pakistan. An official says the matches are allowed....What else.. Oh yeah. They are still buying cell phones . LE lets them go but the media calls them on their cell phone for an interview. Crazy stuff.

But Thai police said he had not committed any crime in Thailand. This is new.

The story is changing by the hour.

I say we're back to square one by next Wednesday.

There's a story from Colorado how a police official told a reporter there was a "file" for John Karr. But it might not be the same guy! But he said it was "red flagged."

Well, of course it was in case it was the same guy. Doesn't mean it was.

This article is nothing at all like the breathless, lurid stories I've heard reported on Fox all day long.

I'd be sitting here all night if I had to type a list of the "facts" in all the "breaking news" and "alerts" blather every 15 minutes.....facts which are as will-o-the wisp as I've ever heard.

Even Mark Fuhrman appeared skeptical on his little gig tonight.

BTW, did anyone catch Patsy Ramsey's sister on Fox tonight? What a piece of work she is. Really slightly weird like Patsy was.

One thing worth mentioning. A new reality is unfolding in "normal American life" that we need to get used to, and that is people who live and work in very low cost countries. What is doing it is the elimination of defined benefit pensions.

This guy is not to retirement age, but because pension benefits are gone, there is no further point to working somewhere that the cost of living eats up income. In general, one's savings plus Soc. Sec. is the only way to retire in the future, and savings don't happen very easily in the US for the average person.

Point being, this guy living in Honduras and Thailand and wherever -- it need not be all lurid and negative. A lot of this is going on now and it's about money, not crime. It is even more common for retirees who don't discover the math until it slaps them in the face and they have to decide between living in Costa Rica or being a greeter at Walmart.

These stories change quicker than those about Jean Charles de Menezes

I saw Patsy's sister, heard Karr's brother, I am more then content to just let things settle down and let the process work thru all the coming gyrations we will likely be subjected to by the media and experts there and here. ;-)

You are so right. It has been bizarro world! I've been having to surf the net to scrape up anything I can to try and put these stories together. Usually I only depend on Fox and FR.

His ex-wife is saying she was with him in Alabama at the time of Jon Benet's death.

I wouldn't convict him yet.

[Rte66]

It was. John Mark Karr. I wasn't going to mention it. You mean in teacher certification, right?

[keat]

What I heard on CNN was that he was tracked down through chat rooms where he displayed insights into the case that were not publicly known.

So there's some more misinformation, courtesy of me.

[Shermy]

No they were talking about a criminal file. Sorry for not mentioning that.

[NormsRevenge]

That sounds a lot more plausible than what has been conjectured by some so far. Thanks.

The suspect was identified as John Mark Karr, according to Lt. Gen. Suwat Tumrongsiskul, who heads the country's immigration police. Karr denied involvement in the slayings, another police official said.

Slayings (multiple)????

[nopardons]

It's been all over FNC, all afternoon and all night that he confessed. Now this?

[PhiKapMom]

And his brother said he spent that Christmas in Georgia!

[NautiNurse]

How many books were written about the Ramsey death?

Zillions

[BunnySlippers]

Yeah, in fact it seems the story is starting to disintegrate before our eyes, I wouldn't bet on anything yet.

[keat]

And his brother said he spent that Christmas in Georgia!

I heard he was in Cambodia with JFKerry.

[mom4kittys]

You are a good detective!
