AN American schoolteacher accused of murdering six-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey in the US in 1996 has told police in Thailand that the girl died accidentally from an overdose of chloroform he administered before raping her. A senior Thai police official said that under questioning in Bangkok, Karr said he had chloroformed the child so he could rape her in the basement of her home in Boulder, Colorado.

“He told us that after sex he realised he had accidentally killed her,” said General Suwat Tumrongsiskul, director of immigration police. “He also told us that they loved each other. She was 'his' beauty queen.”

I give the Colorado DA a lot of credit for not jumping to a conclusion and looking askance at this confession.

More important news than Iraq and North Korea preparing nuke production and tests Bump!

I share your wait and see attitude and will be surprised if Karr is actually the murderer, despite reports of his confession.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

It is laughable that a "small foreign faction" would actually call themselves a "small foreign faction". The entire language of the ransom note is laughable.

Even child rapists prefer American prisons.

Wrong.

Looks like the guy. He's real thin.

Remember, that sketch came from the Ramsey's psychic. Is it possible that the Ramseys, or a grandparent fed this guy the facts of the case, and sort of 'encouraged' his confession, so the heat could be taken off of the Ramseys? Perhaps they found this guy obsessed with the case and planned to pin it on him and had the drawing made from his photo. Note: this is wildly speculative conjecture.

Many of the handwriting experts (brought in by the DA) contend it was consistent to Patsy's handwriting.

He wasn't IN jail in Thailand until the US requested that he be held.

He was arrested at his apartment at the request of US authorities.

Except for the fact that Karr bears no resemblance to the guy in that sketch, that's quite intriguing.

[Fawn]

All this talk is moot until they get the DNA tests done. HURRY UP!

[marshmallow]

In three months this guy will be in jail..............for making false statements to the police.

[Xenalyte]

Duh! The same place you get uranium . . . from Doc Brown. Every Libyan terrorist knows that.

What are you talking about? I guess you think it's a coincidence that they have exactly the same number of eyes!

[eyespysomething]

He was dismissed from that job in June. (that was the wording from the school)

[Xenalyte]

FWIW, I did some reading on CrimeLibrary.com, and found that the no-footprints thing and the forced-entry thing were both inaccurate early leaks. (Page down until you see the basement photo - it's the paragraph above and below the picture.)

[Xenalyte]

OMG! Now that I look closer, I think - maybe, but I need to clean my glasses - that they have the same number of chins and nostrils too!

I stand corrected. ;)

You usually don't see pants that high on the under-65 set.

This "journalism professor" was on the news last night and seemed to be enjoying the attention a lot. I wanted to take a stick to him to wipe that smirk off his face.

The authorities need to give old Prof. Tracey a good going over. I bet there's some shady goings on in his background.
