Question

John Mark Karr freed in JonBenet case

BOULDER, Colo. - Prosecutors abruptly dropped their case Monday against John Mark Karr in the slaying of JonBenet Ramsey, saying DNA tests failed to put him at the scene despite his repeated insistence he killed the 6-year-old beauty queen. The move came just a week and a half after the 41-year-old schoolteacher was arrested in Thailand and put on a plane to the U.S. in what was regarded as a remarkable break in the decade-old murder mystery that had cast suspicion on JonBenet's parents



if he didnt do it why would he confess to it? this is mind blowing! did anyone else think he did it? wow he knew things about the case the public didnt know was never released! im shocked!....

why confess to it? for the fame???

yea i thought from day 1 the parents "did it" but this past week i felt sorry for the family to think the mother went to grave with a hole in her heart for her dead daughter that everyone thought she helped kill.....and now this! im thinking has changed! maybe they did kill her? if they didnt wow this case blows my mind!

Answer 1

He seems attention-starved. Possibly mentally unstable. He was obsessed with the case [and JonBenet herself]. I think he also had contact to those who were also very interested in the case. But he dodged questions related to how he knew the Ramsey family each time.

Many theories exist as to why he confessed, if he is not guilty. Someone I know thinks he just wanted a free ticket back to the U.S. (they flew him first class!). Personally, like I said before, I think he just wants attention, and is possibly insane.

Answer 2

I was not shocked at all - I had "studied" the case a few years ago by watching all the documentaries and tv-movies about it (not that TV doesn't lie, though). There is just TOO MUCH evidence that points to the Ramseys for me to think that anyone else did it. It's very hard to imagine that a mother would do this to her child, and even my best friend refuses to believe what I practically know.

The MEDIA has blown the whole thing out of proportion - by "whole thing" I mean this new John Carr guy who said he did it. The media all the sudden says "evidence shows the crime was done by a white male" when in fact, this is NOT TRUE! Only ONE Boulder investigator had the intruder theory - all the others thought a family member or someone who knew JonBenet did it.

I posted a similar question a few days ago, and in it I quoted the sources I list below - if you are interested in an analysis of the ransom note (for which all signs point to it being written by a woman, probably Patsy) or the case, please visit these sites below. Interesting reading if nothing else!

Answer 3

I never thought he killed JonBenet from the beginning. None of it made sense. The guy is obviously mentally disturbed. False confessions are not that uncommon. Ask anyone with experience in law enforcement or forensic psychiatry. People falsely confess to crimes they didn't commit because of a pathological need for attention or psychotic delusions. Whenever there isn't much going on in the news the media creates this false crap and runs with it. It's sick because if this was a little black girl from a working class family we'd never hear anything about it. Of course it's a sad tragedy when anyone is murdered but why does the media make a big deal when the victim is white from a well-to-do family but ignore it when the victim's a poor minority.

Answer 4

Very few must have read this questions and very few answered it though I am also among them a citizen of America before an Indian as we cannot stay a citizen of two countries because being American resident we are no more Indian but we can visit our mother land for ever and are free to live there too loosing all benefits if we stay longer I think , Every body loves peace and hate a place where there is no security . when I see terrorism is a global problem every body should play his or her role . When Malala a muslim girl can fight for education of girls ,when a child wants his or her freedom a terrorist lives in terror and not free from its consequences ,a day would come when people would come forward to wipe it from human minds but it is too late already , there are so many means of destruction to wipe whole humanity if necessary action is not taken sooner . I am too small to take any action ,but all kind of violent films should be removed from media so that we do not have access to them through any means . People can rent these kinds of movies for couple bucks and get up to fight with family members then to next neighbor then at work then somewhere at shopping mall ,then wherever he does not think right triggered by media and resources he can access from cafes and star buck who give this freedom so easily . Then we try to calm the mind which is already bombarded with so much negative information all over the world .

Answer 5

Well, I thought the same thing! But I was watching this on the news about a couple weeks ago, and they said that he might not be the person who did it, because, in the murder of a mobster in the 50's, many people commited the crime, simply because tey wanted publicity, and they wanted attention. I think, he is sick ine head. He went to Thailnad to go get a sex change. When he was a teacher, He said in an interview, "I am facinated by young girls, I just love them, with their cute little smiles, their beautifull eyes, and the way they talk". He does like young girls, I have no doubt about that, It's just that he framed himself for publicity and for the tabloids, that is the main point.

Answer 6

Prosecuters did drop charges in the Jon Benet case, but he is not FREE yet. They are awaiting extradition to California. I wonder on what charges? Using the system to get a free plane trip home? He is sick, but I doubted he was guilty in the Jon Benet case. However, the DNA from the crime scene could be questionable. Maybe the DNA under her fingernails are from a previous time, like from school? And they also question the DNA on her underwear, underwear that was 2 or 3 sizes too big for her. Was it even her underwear? Many strange twists in this case.

Answer 7

The parents, in my opinion, didn't do it. There was a special on JonBenet on Court TV about 2 years ago & they did their own investigation using graduate law students. They re-investigated the case & found quite a bit of circumstantial evidence against a local Boulder loser. Whatever happened to this guy?

Answer 8

I saw this coming a thousand miles away.
It was so clearly obvious to me he didn't do it, so it was no surprise he was let off the hook.
He confessed I think, to avoid the Thai jail and because he was so obsessed with the murder case - I think he wanted to make himself an actual part of it.
If you can look at it from a pyschological view, it makes sense why: he was blending fantasy with reality and clearly, the lines blurred tremendously.

The guy is strange, definately disturbed, but I'm not even sure i believe his other stories about little girls.

On one hand - he could have been 'testing the waters' to see what it was like to walk in the shoes of a killer...maybe in preparation for something he would like to do in the future...I doubt it, though.

He's just nutty and obsessed with a crime.

Marilyn Manson is just as weird in my book - he's obsessed with the Black Dahlia case so much, he's even painted pictures reminescent of Elizabeth on the slab and married a woman who he thinks looks just like her!!
(Wacko)
Hey, it's a cold case too...maybe MM killed Elizabeth Short.
Not.

Answer 9

It blows my mind too- in a bad way, makes me angry; we have a problem in this country with child molesters and I am sick of it. I thought he did it because I let my emotions and not my reason do the thinking. I feel sorry for the Boulder prosecuter. Wishful thinking. Now people will think it was the mother again, but do lie detectors lie? I don't think so. The Enquirer is right again-shameful...Sunnidaze, sunnidaze...

Answer 10

I thought for sure they had the right guy and like you say he knew things that only the police knew. Wonder why he confessed. They sound check out some other places to see if he is wanted. I still think he was somehow envolved even if he didn;t do it.
