JonBenet Ramsay killer confesses?

Not that I do it -- because I don't -- but there are thousands of kids in these beauty pageants. I don't know if that would make her well known. my daughter turns 6 in a couple of months. She'll be in kindergarten this year so I suppose JonBenet would be a first grader or a kindergartner at the time.

I really do want to know how this guy knew the Ramsey family, though. They lived in Georgia, too, so I'm quite curious about what the connection is.

 

If the father doesn't know him maybe he was a friend of the mother.

 

Or neighbor in Georgia. Or the older brother's former teacher. Or perv who helps judge kiddie pagaents. Or attended the same church. Or had a daughter who played with JonBenet.

I feel safe in saying it's not just a random stranger. The connection to the family is the big question right now.

 

The latest, via cnn.com. Dude is now identified.

 

CBS reported he's been under scrutiny for a while -- Patsy was told of him before she died.

 

Starman justice would be quite justified for him if it pans out that way.

 

Good timing by the band The Jonbenet, which released its debut CD a week ago:

My question is why? Not two months after she dies, the guy gets found in Thailand and squawks like a parrot. Why now? The timing is just so very odd ...

 

That depends ... what did Ms. Grace say about the Ramseys before? The tragedy harpies may be backpedaling furiously.

 

Oh, please, have those types of people ever backpedaled from anything?

 

I'm not so sure that it is. If I were writing this as a novel, I'd suggest this:

The suspect was waiting for her to die before confessing.

 

After watching, reading and thinking for a day, I'm calling Mr. Karr a perv, but not JonBenet's killer. I just do not buy it.

I think he wants the attention and is confessing in order to get it. He may have been obsessed with JonBenet, but I don't believe he killed her.

Just my $.02
