I feel a bit sceptical hearing all the reports. Seems a bit to convenient that the guy confesses w/out even claiming innocense.
After 10 yrs of nothing, to have the case all tied up in a nice box w/ a pretty bow seems a bit rare to me.
I do hope the truth prevails.

I am hoping DNA is proof.
This Thailand theory is great, but that doesn't mean he's innocent. He is choosing our prison over theirs....I think his punishment, if guilty, should be to finish out his sentence there and then on to his sentence here.
Throw away the key!
Baby rapists/killers are SICK!!!

From the little I've read, it seems like the guy outed himself when a reporter published a book a few years ago. He wanted to chat up the reporter and started sending him e-mails. The reporter figured out that he guy seems to know a lot about the case and brought in investigators who worked the case for a couple of years. I don't think it is a case of 10 years of nothing, then a breakthrough.
Assuming this is all correct, there is a bigger picture here. Like several other high profile cases, the press convicted someone long before there was any evidence. In this case, it was the parents. John Jewell was hammered for the Atlanta Olympic bombing when he was actually the hero of the day. Wen Ho Lee with Los Alamos secrets is another example. When are we going to start demanding some level of integrity in reporting these cases? Just yesterday, CNN and FOX brought us news of a plane being diverted with suspects accused of terrorist connections. Oops, no a woman was just clautrophobic. Sorry.

Well, something happened with this guy, and obviously he is a pedophile. He shouldn't have a bunch of cash as he lost his teaching job back in 2002, and he has been travelling the world since. But in places where the access to young children is easy and often allowed for the right price.

I believe that it was him. He told the police of certain aspects of the case that have not been revealed to the public. The sad part is that if he had never been caught for another sex crime in Bangkok, he would have never confessed. His theory was probably that he would rather be stuck in america's justice society and prison system rather than in Thailand, where who knows how they treat their prisoners. It's just sad that her mother passed away before they made the arrest, although she already had her suspicions of him.

It's a con job. He didn't do it. How can one be in 2 states at the same time.
He just wants to get out of that prison in Tailand. Research how bad they are.
Once in the states, he can say what he wants, deny, appeal.....and eventually get off by reason of insanity

According to one news source..(I think it was NBC), Patsy Ramsey 'knew' about this guy, and Police knew about him too... (or, maybe I heard it wrong...but it seemed to me, thats what they said).
Lets wait for all the facts, when they get him back to the States, and see what is going on.
Like Fox's Hannity & Combs pointed out, he may not want to stay in a Tai prison, (fishheads and rice all his life), and wants to come home to a 'cushy jail'...
But, I will not let it be tried in the Media, we know its been done enough already, so, lets get the Courts to have a go at it...
I wish you well..

He admitted it, and he has been charged with child abuse before, plus he looks like a weird-o. I feel bad that her mother didn't live to see them find the actual killer. Imagine how she felt people accusing her. I guess the truth did prevail.

They had the same evidence ten years ago that they have today...why couldn't they catch him then? And any confession, to me, is suspect.
I formed my opinion without the facts...new facts shouldn't change it.

unsure maybe this guy is a fall guy, he sure looks like one. to some being in prison is better than being out there in the world fighting to survive.
we'll see.
i'm not sure, something smells of course, as usual with this case.

I'll wait until they examine evidence of DNA, where he was at the time of the murder, etc etc. I'm not jumping on a bandwagon until I hear more about it, and even then, I'll not are much.
