Patsy Ramsey, don't RIP

    Because ICE, which handles immigration, is part of the Department of Homeland Security.

    According to one story, he claims to have drugged her. But TheSmokingGun has the coroner's report and there were no drugs found in her system.

    And his ex-wife says he couldn't have killed her because he was in Alabama with her when it happened.

    I watched some of this last night on CNN.
    An investigator, who worked for the prosecution, was being interviewed and he kept going on and on about how the Ramseys weren't involved. The DNA found at the scene didn't match, and how she was murdered wasn't consistent with when a parent murders a child.
    His original theory from the get-go was that it was someone who had some knowledge of the family, was obsessed with them,  but that the family didn't know the killer.
    A high-profile family generally means lots of people know who they are, but that doesn't mean the family will know them.

    His brother said the same thing last night on FoxNews, that he was at a family gathering in Alabama that Christmas.

    As I was reading through these latest stories, I've had several of the same questions.

    But I keep coming back to one thing: After all this time, with all the questions they've dealt with, don't you all think the cops would be rather cautious in playing up an arrest?

    There's something that we don't know. Maybe a bunch of somethings.

    I've also noticed that this Karr guy has been referred to several times as someone "involved in the killing of ..." Leads me to believe that maybe he knows who did this shit, but wasn't necessarily the killer. Or that could just be police jargon. In one of the stories on CNN, something was said about him being very interested in the Ramsey case and trying, at one point, to write a book about it. Maybe his two interests -- child porn and this case -- led him to the killer. Maybe that's how he knows the details. (Wild speculation is fun. Is The Enquirer still hiring?)

    But there has to be something more to it. If not, you can expect a lot of American in trouble in bad places to start confessing to high-profile murders.

    Colorado has the death penalty. This guy doesn't volunteer a confession just for the heck of it.

    He might if he was wanting to be famous. Cops say they get all kinds of loons confessing to major, high-profile crimes.

    Hopefully, they've got more than just his confession to go on.

    John Mark Karr.

    What is it with being a 3 name wonder that drives them to become such high profile criminals. Is it perhaps a requirement for the job that one go with the complete first, middle, last? Parents, please make sure your children go by only 1 name. First or middle--fine, but pick one, not both.

    Or perhaps this is the key point the CO authorities are resting their case on....

    seriously, the more I see on this, the more I think this guy is a sham. Hope I'm wrong.

    Didn't his confession include details that were never made public?

    I doubt the guy went by John Mark. Anymore I think the middle name is used in coverage in order to avoid confusion with anybody else named John Karr. I'd hate to be another John Karr and have people think I'm a pedophile sitting in jail in Thailand.

    Kinda like the Eddie Johnson vs. Eddie Johnson situation from last week.

    That's what they say. But then you've got other people who say he was in Alabama the night she was killed.

    I'm not convinced he did it ... yet.

    I'm convinced it's all a ploy timed to promote the movie..
