A DNA sample from John Mark Karr, the key suspect in the notorious murder of six-year old JonBenet Ramsey, does not correspond with DNA traces found at the crime scene, a local television station reported. Denver's KUSA cited two unnamed sources for the report, which if confirmed would call into question Karr's claim to have committed the 1996 murder of the young beauty queen.
US authorities have yet to comment on the television report.
Karr, 41, was arrested in Thailand on August 16 on a California warrant over charges of possessing child pornography.
He reportedly confessed to Thai police that he had murdered the child almost ten years ago in a lurid crime case that transfixed much of the country for years.
At his extradition hearing last week in California, a judge advised Karr that he faced charges of first-degree felony murder, kidnapping and sexual assault on a child in Colorado.
Karr was transferred from California to the western state of Colorado last week.
Clever guy. He managed to get out of Thailand before they charged him for the sex crimes there.
If there were any justice in the world, they'd have sent him back to Thailand to face charges there. From what I understand, Thai prisons are hell.
Can they not ship his sorry ass back to Thailand?
I'm thinking he confessed to this high profile case just to escape poor prison conditions there.
Where did you get the information that he was wanted for sex crimes in Thailand?
Doesn't matter, he said he can identify with Mikey Jackson, hang him!
