Confessor's ex-wife said she was with him when JonBenet died

[johnnie]

This is just part of this story, but I found it to be another weird part of this whole thing.

<snip>

"JonBenet was found beaten and strangled in the basement of the family's home in Boulder, Colo., on Dec. 26, 1996.

But a Petaluma, Calif., woman who said she was Karr's ex-wife told KGO-TV in San Francisco that she was with him in Alabama at the time of JonBenet's death. Lara Karr said her ex-husband spent a lot of time reading up on the cases of Ramsey and Polly Klaas, who was abducted from her Petaluma home and slain in 1993."

1. I'm taking a wait and see attitude about this

So many details of the crime have been written in books over the past nine years, I can't believe there is much that law enforcement kept to themselves. This guy could have been obsessed with the crime.

Why the $118,000 ransom demand? Such a strange amount.

2. I feel the same way

But you know how we TC people are?..lol.

8. It was the same amount that John Ramsey got for a christmas bonus....

the guy they have didn't do it. they just want a body behind bars. They don't care whose. Because i'm convinced the person who killed her is either dead, a widower, or her brother.

10. I agree with you on this one

Who would/should know about that bonus before it was published everywhere when the details of the letter were divulged?

3. Another thing not adding up

"BANGKOK, Thailand - The American suspect in the killing of JonBenet Ramsey told investigators that he drugged and had sex with the 6-year-old beauty queen before accidentally killing her, a senior Thai police officer said Thursday.

An autopsy on Ramsey said a blood screening showed no drugs or alcohol in her body but said she had vaginal abrasions."

4. the abrasions

The autopsy revealed small abrasions on one side of the vaginal wall, but they were indicative of penetration by an object, perhaps a slender finger with a fingernail extending beyond the tip of the finger, or perhaps a stick, including the other half of Patsy's art brush which had been broken in two and fashioned into the neck device, which is often referred to as "the garotte."

Particles found in the vagina were cellulose, possibly wood.

5. It would seem to me that the autopsy would have shown more

She was only 6 and I would have to bet there would be more damage to her than what is in the autopsy.

[frogmarch]

6. yes

I agree there would have been.

Have you ever read the official autopsy report? It's available (among other places on the Internets) at www.thesmokinggun.com

The autopsy URL:

I think there are 9 pages. The internal examination report is on page 4. It begins with "On the anterior aspect of the perineum..."

7. "Suspect says he killed Ramsey, but some have doubts"

Suspect says he killed Ramsey, but some have doubts


UNDATED While John Mark Karr says he killed JonBenet Ramsey, the many unanswered questions about the case are leaving some in doubt.

In an exclusive interview, Karr tells The Associated Press he was with the six-year-old beauty queen when she died. He says he loved the girl and her death was an accident.

But Lawrence Schiller, who wrote the 1999 book "Perfect Murder, Perfect Town" about the case, said there are reasons to question whether Karr is telling the truth. He says many people confess to crimes, because they want the notoriety, but are later found to have had no real connection...

9. I believe it's as simple as this:

He wanted out of Thailand.
