I know you guys all heard about the confession of John Mark Karr yesterday and today 'cause it's all over the news. But I felt I had to post a link to the story anyway, to put it in the archives here. It's just one of those creepy stories that we'll all remember for years to come.

JonBenét Ramsey

It is just heart-breaking that JonBenét's mom died two months ago, and didn't live to see this. I understand she knew that investigations were pointing to John Mark Karr at the time she died. But, man, what a decade the family had to endure.

I must admit that when JonBenét was in the news every day when the story first broke ten years ago, I couldn't help but be a little bit suspicious of her parents. On one hand, you had to think there was no way parents could be involved. But on the other hand, watching a little girl paraded around on stage in those beauty contests kind of gave me the creeps. So I realized that there was no conclusion I should draw. Just a sad, weird story.

There is a lesson in there. Don't believe everything you hear; think for yourself.

I don't believe anything from the media. They'll rush right in, just to make a story (even if there is no story to tell). On the other hand, this case isn't over yet, but the killer may have been caught. Or he may be a nut case or a patsy, who knows. I don't make any conclusions. What do you think?

I did find a page that at least references the sketch before the arrest.

On this page they say it looks like John Ramsey ;-)

Taking a 6 year old girl and making her up to be a sex symbol, is just plain wrong. She just a little girl.

I too found it creepy, just imagine what it could do to a sex offender. Why not just put up a sign "Yo perverts, over here."…John

Who do you blame? The parents are sucked into the whole thing with promises of money that will be put in trust for the child that could concievably pay for their entire education at a private college. Or lead to more work in the industry that as we all know pays rather well.
If you are faced with an offer that you know would put your son or daughter through Yale can you in good conscience refuse. I mean they always tell you that you are expected to be present at every event and that you will have the final word regarding anything involving her welfare. So what would you do?
My neighbor had a daughter who sang on Broadway. I saw that woman sleeping on the train at midnight sometimes five times a week or more. The sacrifices she made were enormous. But the kid now has a very sizable trust fund available to her at age 21.
Yet she did lose many years of normal childhood life.
