DNA of Ramsey murder suspect fails to match: Karr won't be charged

A DNA sample from John Mark Karr, the key suspect in the notorious murder of six-year old JonBenet Ramsey, does not correspond with DNA traces found at the crime scene, a local television station reported.

Denver's KUSA cited two unnamed sources for the report, which if confirmed would call into question Karr's claim to have committed the 1996 murder of the young beauty queen.

US authorities have yet to comment on the television report.

Karr, 41, was arrested in Thailand on August 16 on a California warrant over charges of possessing child ****ography.

He reportedly confessed to Thai police that he had murdered the child almost ten years ago in a lurid crime case that transfixed much of the country for years.

At his extradition hearing last week in California, a judge advised Karr that he faced charges of first-degree felony murder, kidnapping and ****** assault on a child in Colorado.

Karr was transferred from California to the western state of Colorado last week.

Just heard it on the news, not that surprised, his 'confession' did not match the evidence.

I knew karr was just a cook.

I'm having a psychic vision.. I see alot of egg on peoples faces and down time for reporters. Meanwhile the search continues.

I for one do not understand America's (the media's?) obsession with this kiddie **** queen.

Its not an obession with him, its with the case of the girl. No one would ever have paid any attention to a cild **** arrest in thailand, but the murderer of this girl is a big deal to many americans.

For me it's the fact that somebody did this (and I assume that there were several people involved based on the time, note, etc.) and walked away scott free. I can't steal a Zagnut without getting caught.

[Urzza]

Eeer, Whats this about him being charged in Colorado?

Sorry for the derail here, but I've been wanting to say this: 2Sheds Jackson, if Brok posted here, I'd think a lot of his posts would look like yours.

Doesn't surprise me, either.

I did mean the girl when I said "kiddie **** queen". My question still stands. There's something wrong about dressing up a 6 year old girl in adult clothing and make-up...it screams ******ization (especially if you understand the subliminal connotations of make-up, such as rouge and lipstick).

I think the media interest is because it's like watching a train wreck -- so many sick lives on display, from the parents to the girl to the murderer. Blah.

I agree. I think a lot of people share the same thoughts.

I thought it was California that still wanted to charge him with something.

Besides the fact that her parents were probably rich WASPs, I still want to know what makes this case more important than probably worst cases going on at the same time.

Little harsh label for a dead girl there mate. You should direct your anger at the media and slapped a label on the guilty parties (i.e. the killer(s) and the media) and not the victim. And if you've ever worked a child **** investigation and had to sit in on the forensic examination and view the evidence in order to testify to it in court, then you'd realize that dressing the kid up is nowhere near "kiddie ****".

Not trying to be a prick, just wondering why you're labeling the victim and not the guilty parties?

I agree with you stonecutter. What was the parents thinking? We had a similar incident in my country. The China girl was around her age, was kidnapped, raped then strangled. B*stard still hasn't paid for it due to account of insanity. Breaks my heart when I first heard about it. No wonder John was so willing to go to Colorado.

It's bleeding obvious that the parents did it. They just need to sweat a confession out of them Abu Ghraib style.

From what has been reported the DNA does not match anyone in the family.

agree

I was at my parents place last week and this just slowly gets to our media. It isn't a big thing here. My mother never heard of the case before , but was really upset when she saw those beauty contests for kids. It is disgusting. IMHO the law should prevent such ******ization (is it a word???) of children. Child abuse imho. Abuse in two ways, you put you kid into a schedule that doesn't fit a 4 year old and you teach your kid being sexy, which is just wrong and will do harm to their personality and attract wrong people. In some ways i think of it as prostituting your kid. Sounds harsh, but that's my opinion. It's no win situation for the kid, it's just to fill the broken egos of the parents.

Whatever, don't even know where i posted it, but my first post was a little respectless. It still doesn't affect me, but it's not that i don't care about things like that.

Your assuming that DNA was in fact the killer's.

They can't sweat mom much, she died June 24th.

[a_very_ex_STAB]

They can't sweat mom much, she's dead.

A guilty conscience I presume

[dacanadianbomb]

More like Ovarian Cancer

There are just so many damn odd things about this case from the information that has been released and leaked. I have my suspicions about the parents, mostly the mom really, but the DNA kind of sways me away from that, but then again DNA tied OJ to the murder, and he still got off.
