Oops!
You dumb bastards. Maybe you should verify the DNA BEFORE making an arrest and starting a media frenzy???

That idiot claimed he killed that girl because he wanted to get out of Thailand. He figured it would all get straightened out then. Send him back to serve his time. What a creep. We don't want him
I'm not sure what you're talking about Elaine?
Karr was living in Thailand and working as a teacher and was only detained because of years of communication he'd been having with some professor about how he killed Jonbenet....
If he had wanted to get out of Thailand he would have just had to hop on a plane/bus/boat/train and leave... He was only IN Thailand because there were warrants out for his arrest in the US... and he hasn't committed any crimes in Thailand (that he's been charged with/arrested/that we know about anyway) so he wouldn't serve any time in Thailand...
Colour me confused...
OK, I was under the impression he had been arrested over in Thailand for some sex crime there. That's why I said that. However, I still claim he's a creep.
oh, and the reason there's the hoopla in the media and all that before the DNA results, well, hoopla sells papers and makes you watch their channel on the tv. Look at how much attention Geraldo Rivera got opening the tombs of Capone back a few years. We all sat there watching, waiting in titilated anticipation, salavating at the possibilities of "what" could be in there. To find what? Nothing. Enquirer news, my dear Watson.
Ok, it looks like they did try to get a DNA sample over the arrest, but needed to get a clean sample, prompting the arrest. Still, the could have done so without broadcasting to the world they had made an arrest. Or at least, warn people that they were not 100% sure he was the guy, but had confessed.

Henly that's exactly what I had heard: that he had confessed, but authorities were very dubious. They really have no choice but to make an arrest when somebody claims they committed a crime, do they? I mean if I went down the police station and claimed responsibility for crime "x" do you think they'd just let me leave? No, they lock me up while they proved or disproved my claim. And after they'd disproved it, I'd probably still be charged with something, public mischief at least. I'm sure there's a more appropriate criminal code statute covering that...
Anon:
Well.... you see, with every high profile murder case, detectives always get a bunch of kooks giving false confessions.. they just have to weed out the gooks from the real ones. In this guy's case, he was very descriptive of the actual murder and the fact that he was removed in Thailand made it tougher.
What I've been thinking about recently is that he was also wanted for child porn charges in California. Why not arrest him for that, which is going to be kept on a low profile in the media and THEN get a DNA sample once he's in custody??
