I didn't see this posted anywhere, and this was the only part of the forum I could see this going in. If I'm totally in the wrong, then please shoot me. http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/08/16/ramsey.arrest/index.html This is really, REALLY big. Even though this guy admitted to having involvement, I believe the most important suspect has already passed away, and that would be JonBenet's mother. All personal opinion though. Thoughts?
This is huge. It's nice to hear a breakthrough has finally been made in the case. The Ramsay's were so poorly mistreated by investigators and the public alike.
While the pain of losing a child will never go away I imagine that it will give their family some piece of mind that the suspect was arrested. Although its really sad that the mother died its definately huge for the father and the family.
idunno about all this. a few friends and family say this guy did it. others still beleive the parents did it. its a realy big split desicion in my house. i still dont know if this guy really did it or not. im just waiting for everything to unravel before i start pointing fingers.
i recently read up on a biased analysis on the "ransom note"; seems to examine and pick up some important points; http://www.statementanalysis.com/ramseynote/
Someone on a radio station here made a pretty good point. The guy was arested in Thailand for touching little kids, right? And then he admits to this big murder case, while his wife is saying she was with him that day in a completely different state. And the "facts" the suspect in custody is saying aren't exactly brand spanking new evidence. It's stuff that people knew, apparently. Now. He can either get his hand, or whatever else, cut off in Thailand for touching little kids, which he did do. OR. He can get life in a prison in America for a murder he didn't do. Somewhat comfy American prison, or Thai corporal punishment. What would YOU choose. I'd choose the friggin prison.
Saw this comming. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attorney: Karr won't be charged with JonBenet's murder BOULDER, Colorado (CNN) -- Schoolteacher John Mark Karr will not be charged with the murder of 6-year-old beauty pageant competitor JonBenet Ramsey, Karr's attorney said Monday. "The warrant against Mr. Karr has been dropped by the District Attorney's office," attorney Seth Temin told reporters. He said a hearing scheduled later Monday afternoon has been canceled. Temin also said he was "deeply disturbed" that authorities in Boulder brought Karr from Thailand with was appears to have been scant evidence. Colorado authorities have not commented on their decision not to pursue charges against the man named in a warrant alleging murder, kidnapping and sexual assault on a child. But CNN's Denver affiliate, KUSA, reported that the DNA sample taken from Karr does not match DNA found on JonBenet's body. KUSA quoted two sources in a bulletin on its Web site. KUSA reported that samples of Karr's saliva and hair were taken in Boulder after his arrival Thursday evening. Those samples were tested over the weekend by the Denver Police Department's crime lab. Those tests ruled out Karr's DNA as the foreign DNA left on JonBenet's body when she was slain in December 1996, the station reported on its Web site. CNN is working to independently confirm the report. Karr still could face child pornography charges in California. Earlier Monday, Karr's defense team requested that prosecutors hand over DNA evidence in the Ramsey case. The 41-year-old suspect was being held in Boulder County Jail on suspicion of first-degree murder, first- and second-degree kidnapping, and sexual assault. It was not immediately known whether he would be freed or transferred to California. Karr was brought back last week to the United States from Bangkok, Thailand. He arrived in Colorado Thursday evening from California, where he skipped bail in 2001 after being charged in Sonoma County with five misdemeanor counts of possessing child pornography. Karr appeared at a brief hearing in Los Angeles and waived extradition to Colorado. (Watch Patsy Ramsey's sister reveal what the family will do if Karr isn't guilty -- 4:11) He told reporters in Thailand he was with JonBenet the night she died, and that her death was an accident. The child's beaten and strangled body was found December 26, 1996, in the basement of her family's Boulder home. Autopsy results showed she had suffered a blow to the head and been strangled with a garrote tightened with a paintbrush handle. After Karr's statements in Thailand, questions have surfaced as to whether the slight, soft-spoken man could have been involved in the grisly killing. Earlier this year, Michael Tracey, a journalism professor at the University of Colorado, alerted authorities to e-mails he had been receiving from a person now believed to be Karr. Tracey, who has produced a documentary about the Ramsey case, said there was something in the e-mails "that made me decide I had to try and do something." But he would not say just what prompted him to contact prosecutors. A law enforcement official told CNN that Karr's e-mails to Tracey were initially innocuous but that the professor contacted authorities when they became "weird." The communications were eventually tracked to Thailand.
Who the hell would name their daughter that and make a 5 year old look like a 25 year old? Sick parents.
