What does everyone think about the arrest of JonBenet Ramsey's murderer?

Question

I really thought the parents had something to do with this, but that they were just to slick to get caught. I never thought this case would ever be solved, especially since Patsy Ramsey died. John Mark Karr looked so shocked, he gave me the impression of being in shock like Lee Harvey Oswald, he even looks like him. this is creepy !

Answer 1

Like most everyone, I was shocked at the news of the arrest of John Mark Karr in relation to JonBenet Ramsey's murder some ten years after her death. In reference to her parents' guilt or innocence, I tend to give people the benefit of doubt, believe the best in people unless proved otherwise with observable/ measurable factual evidence. That said, I have always believed the parents were not involved... my gut impression is that they are (were) basically good, God-fearing people... why would they hurt their own (or anyone else's) child? There has never been any evidence suggesting a history of abuse or violence, JonBenet was the apple of her mother's eye, she loved and cared more about her than her own life. Who am I to judge them based on hearsay and innuendo when I was not present at the murder, don't know them or all the facts, and when there were so many mistakes admittedly made in the investigation, etc.? This is not to say I have not had doubts, once when I was stuck at the airport for several hours, I read a book about the case and found very curious certain details, e.g., the ransom note, drafts of it in the garbage can, similarity to Patsy Ramsey's handwriting, unknown male DNA on JonBenet's mattress, her history of bedwetting, the family's sometimes strange behaviour after her murder (hiring of a PR agent), etc. I came to the point where I thought no one would ever really know what happened. Then this news comes with the arrest of Karr and it is so confusing. He admits to murdering JonBenet and supposedly knows details of the case not previously released to the media but.... his then wife says he was in Alabama when JonBenet was killed.... he says he "picked JonBenet up at school and took her to the basement" -- why would he have picked her up from school, especially on Christmas. News reports and a statement released by John Ramsey say he and Patsy were aware that the police were investigating Karr months before his arrest, apparently he had sent a series of emails to Patsy admitting the murder... if this is true why wasn't Karr apprehended earlier, its hard to believe these parents, with so much money, power, and sympathy at their disposal, would stand by idly if they believed they knew who killed their little girl. There are so many details we the general public don't know, its really too early to make an informed decision at this time. I will say however, the fact that Karr was in Alabama on that Christmas and that he reportedly read everything in sight and did considerable research on JonBenet's death/had contacts through the police department as a journalist in university where he became privy to certain information casts serious doubts on whether this guy really did murder JonBenet or he is just trying to avoid punishment for another crime in Thailand. Apparently he is under investigation for a series of peodiphila/child pornagraphy rings across several countries. I can't help but think perhaps killing JonBenet was a fantasy of Karr, rather than an actuality. I suppose only time will tell.

Answer 2

Let's take a deep breath here folks. Just think for a minute, would you rather spend time in a jail cell in Thailand or the good old USA? He seems like a real nut case to me . He was in the area at the time it happened. He would know a lot about it [don't we all?] . It will take a long time for him to come to trial. So he gets to sit here instead of being a nobody in a hell hole! If the DNA matches then FRY him. But lets wait and see. Yes I know I was one of the first to post yesterday that he was arrested, but do you see the question mark after the he confessed part? I am skeptical until they come up with something substantial besides his word!

Answer 3

This arrest is all over the news today. Unlike many, I thought the parents were telling the truth and the police wasted so much time trying to get the facts to fit their theory. In so many cases the police lock on to an idea like a pit bull and never really follow other leads.

This guy admitted to being there “when she died”. Weird!

Answer 4

With people blaming the parents proves that you can't assume anything when it comes to crimes like murder. That's why there
are innocent people in prison.
John Mark Karr may be killed while waiting for trail in prison by
fellow inmates who hate child molesters/killers.
I would like to know what relationship he had with the parents
that let him get to JonBenet.
With her murder in mind I wonder what God-fearing folks think
about God letting a killer take a little girl from her parents.

Answer 5

I wasn't expecting an arrest. Like many, I thought dad Ramsey might confess to it on his deathbed. Just proves to the world that our suspicions are often wrong.

Answer 6

He looks guilty

and like a pedophile

his photo on Y! news totally gave me the heebe jeebies

Answer 7

Has not happened yet. Probably never will. The perv they arrested is definitely guilty of something and should fry but not for killing Jon Benet.

Answer 8

i dont rly no what i thonk i just no that they messed up big time with this
they had ova 63 boxes of leads and did **** about it didnt even touch it so im just glad they have some sort of a lead now

Answer 9

Only took them 10 years to get him.

At least he's behind bars. Get that electric chair ready!

Answer 10

It's about time.
