As opposed to taking a 13 y.o. girl across state lines to marry her, or getting fired from a teaching job for inappropriate conduct? This family is full of nuts, top to bottom.
I have my doubts he did it, but with his history, I'm glad he's off the street so that he can't molest anymore children.
After seeing the Mullet Carr from the 80's and seeing him now that he's here, my gut tells me he's an attention whore seeing his life dwindle into nothingness. This was his big shot at getting attention. He was doing his best Hannibal Lecter over in Thailand but now he just seems bemused that his plan is working so well. It helps that there are more "journalist" than people and events to cover.
Bring back the car chases, I promise never to complain about them again.
Creepy family too.
Struck me the same way.
Help's on the way.
Karr family: "Uncle John is having another one of those 'attacks'".
The way people doubt Karr's confession on grounds that he is a limelight-seeking wacko, you'd think he had hired a publicist and sent out one news release after another.
The fact is this is a guy who had been *running* from the law, not running to it. He confessed to the murder only after he began to be questioned about it. The "it was an accident" bit is easily understood as his spin to lessen the contempt that people feel for him for the murder. I think what he means is that he did not go there intending to murder her, but to kidnap her. In his mind it was an "accident" because he ended up murdering her instead.
If you look at his yearbook handwriting sample and the ransom note you see that both have a characteristic that is very difficult to believe is coincidental. It is that the writer of both sometimes makes a "tail" before the downstroke at the top of letters such as t and d--not all the time but some of the time. Add to this that both authors write the letetr a as in the times roman font, and both overuse exclamation points, and it seems to me that the handwriting people who say the authors are one and the same are not practicing voodoo.
Either the DNA matches or it doesn't. If it does, he doesn't need an attorney other than to go through the motions (pun intended). If it doesn't match, he won't need an attorney so much as an agent to field media appearances after he's booted out of county jail. (Or sent back to Calif on other outstanding warrants.)
>>>My brother was diagnosed as a sociopath at 13. The psychs just told us something we already knew. My brother is a compulsive liar. He will tell a lie, even when the truth would be of more benefit to him. If he tells you the sky is blue, you better go check...........>>>
That is my ex-husband. He can't seem to help himself when lying. Sad it took me five years to figure it out because my head starting warping with all the lies and trying to make sense of it all. It would be tiny little things that didn't matter, but I had to try and make sense of it and it got too exhausting. Sadly, sociopaths have no remorse either. Oh, except when it benefits them to SHOW remorse.
>>>As opposed to taking a 13 y.o. girl across state lines to marry her, or getting fired from a teaching job for inappropriate conduct? This family is full of nuts, top to bottom.>>>
Not all.
Oh, that's different. My brother is just a 42-year-old teenager.
Mine is 50...........and still as he was when a teen.........
I'm sorry. That must be very difficult for everyone who knows him.
Karr is a sick criminal who stalked children in any case, whether he is this girl's murderer or not.
So my point is that this family has nothing to protect here regarding the brother anyway.
Most of the handwriting experts are saying this is inconclusive. The one guy who claimed a "99%" match turns out to have been recently disqualified as a handwriting expert in court because of a lack of credentials.
We may never know if this guy did it.
