California Deputies Reportedly Come for Karr & Leave Him Here (http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_4986369,00.html)

Almost two weeks since his ordered extradition to California on child pornography charges, John Mark Karr still sits in the Boulder County Jail despite a report that deputies from California were in Boulder to collect him last Thursday.

The deadline for his return to Sonoma County is 5:00pm Wednesday (Sept. 13).

A report published in The Press Democrat of Santa Rosa on Saturday said two Sonoma County sheriff's deputies traveled to Boulder on Thursday to pick up Karr - but left without him.

Sonoma County Sheriff Bill Cogbill, in the article, alluded to some "huge dynamics going on that could change the whole course of this," but declined to be more specific...

The deadline for extradition from Boulder, Co. to Sonoma, CA is 5:00pm on Sept. 13th. That's tomorrow! So, I would expect some sort of announcement within the next 24 hours.

That article strongly suggests that John Karr may be under investigation by another jurisdiction, otherwise there would be no reason to keep him in Boulder. The charges in another jurisdiction may be more serious than the charges in Sonoma County, and that might determine who gets him.

Just speculation here.......John Karr left Alabama in 2000/2001 to move to Sonoma County, CA. allegedly because of his interest in the Polly Klass case. I wonder if there was another, more compelling, reason for leaving Alabama? Perhaps there's an unsolved molestation case in Alabama and with Karr's picture on television 24/7 for almost two weeks, the victim recognized him?

To magpie: It does seem sort of odd that Karr is still sitting in Boulder; there is probably a very good reason, but other than his backtracks being carefully scrutinized, I can't see why. Hopefully it will become more clear tomorrow. bulmoose

I know if they just let him walk tomorrow, I'm gonna be one mad puppy! Let's hope there's SOMETHING in the works, and we'll find out soon!

Yeah, I think we all will be horrified if he's allowed to walk the streets. Murderer or not, he has had some pedophilic(is that a word? LOL) misgivings, so he should be locked up. Big WHAT IF here, but what if they are working on some more with the JBR case with him and are stalling to see if it pans out before they extradite him? I'm not sold on him being involved at all, but it is very strange that they are still holding him in boulder and not extraditing him.

lol, if he gets to be free, he probably will come and join our discussion on this forum due to his obsessions. It would be interesting what Karr has to say here.

John Mark Karr leaves Boulder (http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_4987308,00.html)

Boulder County Sheriff's Division Chief Larry Hank said at 3:10pm today that Karr was no longer at the jail, where he had been held without bail since being brought to Colorado Aug. 24. Hank refused to disclose any other details, other than to say that Karr was in the custody of Sonoma County sheriff's deputies.

We'll probably have to wait for his court appearance for the answers. I doubt any new charges were added since his attorney wants a "speedy trial".

No shame!! But I know how Nancy would delight in being able to report on JMK so she's probably upset that he was transferred on a day she isn't hosting her show!

Don't you know she'd want to be informed on what he was wearing and what he ate on the flight to California?

I fit the profile of John Karr, so I have an intimate understanding of where he is coming from. Until last year I filed no tax returns for 26 years, being barely and reluctantly supported by my father. Last year I filed a tax return for $7000. I can't get a decent job because all of my ideas are different. I see everything differently, and I can't pull off the dumb act. I never last in jobs. Finally I quit trying, though I had a job last year, which I got fired from after 10 months and now I’m helping my girlfriend deliver newspapers, which is officially her job. She’s got two jobs.

I am a lot like John Karr. I don't pay child support and the reason is because I am so pathetic when it comes to employment. It’s not my fault. I just see things differently. Unfortunately, I am usually right and the whole world is wrong. I can't dress like John Karr, and I can't travel the world like John Karr. I can't even get good food, so I know he has some invisible means of support that is usually impossible for a man like him to arrange: a major consideration when deciding whether or not he should be brought to trial for what he said was a terrorist act.

We didn't believe him, because that idea is so preposterous, but where does the money come from?

He traveled, dressed well, and he had cosmetic surgery. That raises many questions but the surgery was not for a sex change operation. The doctor said he was not a good candidate for that, since he never wore women’s clothes or acted the part of a woman. He is just a pristine, you can say prissy man. The hair he had removed was high on his cheek above his beard. He still has his beard. All of that is normal for him, though it does not indicate he wanted a sex change operation.

The answer to the whole thing hit me between the eyes when I saw Polly Klaas’ father on TV. I had already decided John Karr had taken part in a kidnapping. The normal response from Mark Klaas would have been sympathy. He would have said, “I hope for the sake of John Ramsey they have found the man who did it.”

Instead, Mark Klaas said with extreme prejudice: “This can’t be the man who did it.”

What? How did he know?

Then I thought about who might have organized a group to kidnap another beautiful girl in order to make parents wary of turning their children into attractive sex objects.

From a Polly Klaas website: “By putting herself in mortal danger to protect her family and friends, Polly has become my greatest teacher," said her father, Marc Klaas. Marc Klaas immediately dove into a campaign to put children higher on the national priority list. With no prior media, political or public speaking experience, he immediately became savvy in affecting proactive legislation, and sought to advocate children's issues and speak out on crime prevention.

Within a year the KlaasKids Foundation was formed.”

Mark Klaas found out he was a natural organizer of movements. He could influence how everyone thought, and he had the original “beautiful girl with the warm brown eyes" who was murdered because she became appealing to a pedophile.

Mark Klaas had the means and the motive and he gave an irrational answer on TV when John Karr was being carried back to America, an answer that became the mantra of everyone, public and press. It sounded good, but the answer made no sense.

And John Ramsey said that nothing about this crime makes any sense.

Why would Polly Klaas’ father say: This is definitely not the guy who did it! Mark Klaas had no inside information when he made that statement and John Karr seemed like as good a candidate as any. So why deny him a trail and put JK’s life in danger?

I think when there is a trial, we will learn Mark Klaas organized this stunt, intended to call attention to the plight of pretty young girls who are put out in the public eye. It was a stunt that made no sense at all. I'm sorry...but this is just so bizarre...you're imagination is alive and well....but I just can't agree with this....Mark Klaas had absolutely nothing to do with this murder! Maybe Karr and someone else.....but you shouldn't even suggest something like that about Klaas jokingly, much less seriously! :confused:

John Mark Karr returned to California with considerably less attention than when he last arrived in the state as a one-time suspect in the JonBenet Ramsey slaying.

Karr, 41, who faces child pornography charges here, is being held without bail at a jail in Santa Rosa after landing at Oakland International Airport late Tuesday. He is scheduled for arraignment on Thursday...

In order to get a trial he has to plead not guilty...correct? It seems to me that he loves to talk (as other posters said) and wants the limelight. That creature is fascinated with JBR and insinuated himself into that world (case) long before he was arrested...now that's done as far as he is concerned, and he doesn't want it to be done...so he'll get his trial, and I wonder just how much JBR's name will be mentioned. He'll be in the spotlight for a while and then fade away....The thing that really scares me is where will he go after serving his time, assuming he does serve time. I sure don't want him in my neighborhood.

All this was My Opinion.

Now we will never know who it was in the Bus station, and Karr will walk free. Perverts R us wins again ! Loosing a computer and admitting it is one thing. Loosing the surveillance tape then issuing a GAG ORDER to cover up the incompetence is even worse.

No one "confirmed" Patsy was the writter of the note.

"The experts described the chance of Mrs. Ramsey being the author of the Ransom Note as "very low." (SMF . 204; PSMF 1 204.) The two experts hired by defendants both assert that this evidence strongly suggests that Mrs. Ramsey did not write the Note. (SMF 254.) "

Santa Rosa law enforcement has become as bungling and indecisive as Boulder law enforcement has been.

Why is that? I think there are two forces controlling all the decisions in this case. One force is simple truth. The other force, which was at work in Boulder making them seem bungling and indecisive, and is now now at work in Santa Rosa, making Santa Rosa seem bungling and indecisive could be a powerful group who don't want the truth to come out.

It was suggested that when John Karr gets free, he could discuss this crime with me on this board. I am sympathetic to what he says, so he would discuss it with me and maybe the truth could come out. But suddenly he is not going to be free.

In addition, WMR has learned of possible connections between GOP lawmakers and former school teacher John Mark Karr, who was arrested in Thailand and deported to the United States after he claimed, falsely, that he killed six-year old Jon Benet Ramsey at her Boulder, Colorado home in 1996. After Boulder prosecutors declined to prosecute Karr for JonBenet's death, he was transferred to Sonoma County, California to face misdemeanor child pornography charges. However, U.S. intelligence source report to WMR that the high degree of interest shown by U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. intelligence officials in Karr -- including having one CIA officer in Bangkok intercede, along with DHS Bangkok attache Ann Hurst, with Thai law enforcement authorities after Karr's arrest -- was due to Karr's knowledge of the involvement of top U.S. government officials in a major pedophilia ring.

This is what they are afraid will be revealed, if they catch the intruder in the JonBenet murder.

I only sensed it was this kind of story from observing events. I didn’t know other people had written books and articles about it.

We need to make sure John Karr doesn’t get murdered in jail, so he can tell his story. Right now, the direction looks like he will be murdered in prison, for five misdemeanor images. Fox news even did a story tonight that said there is nothing prisons can do if pedophiles are murdered while inside. The Fox conclusion was: “Oh well, pedophiles who are murdered in prison shouldn’t have messed with little children.” Like it's okay to murder pedophiles in prison...

They are preparing us for John Karr being murdered. But why could Fox News explain in advance the murder of John Mark Karr?

Someone in very high places is covering up a much bigger story.

Now, there are the Foley revelations. This whole story needs to be brought into the light. I think John Karr knows a lot, and we truly are seeing only the tip of the iceberg, like the article states.

vaughancauthen
10-02-2006, 05:50 AM
…sources on the Hill report that the GOP leadership knew of Foley's improper communications with pages "for years"…

The consensus of Washington insiders is that the Foley scandal is merely the "tip of the iceberg" and when all the facts become known there will be a political tsunami that could wash away as many as 60 to 70 incumbent Republicans...

Major cover-up suspected in GOP's "Pagegate" now rocking Capitol Hill.

Jeffrey Ray Nielsen, a Christian fundamentalist activist lawyer who was a legislative aide for California Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher and a close associate of Orange County GOP chairman Scott Baugh, has been charged by Orange County, California police with repeatedly engaging in sex with a 14-year old Westminster, California high school freshman male in 2003 and amassing a large amount of child pornography in his Ladera Ranch condo. Prosecutors in Orange County have been accused of dragging their feet on the Nielsen case -- charges that involve political pressure from the GOP.

…possible connections between GOP lawmakers and former school teacher John Mark Karr, who was arrested in Thailand and deported to the United States… Boulder prosecutors declined to prosecute Karr… However, U.S. intelligence source report that the high degree of interest shown by U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. intelligence officials in Karr was due to Karr's knowledge of the involvement of top U.S. government officials in a major pedophilia ring.

Law enforcement and intelligence officials point out that if there are no arrests in Washington stemming from "Pagegate," it can be assumed that this second major eruption of scandal involving top Republicans and pedophilia has been swept under the carpet once again.

Honestly I wasn't expecting else other than him being registered as a sex offender but unfortunately even that ain't gonna happen as a result of them losing his laptop. A copy of a hard drive can be tampered with so technically there was NO evidence. Just really blows my mind especially after those sexually explicit tapes that were made public and the graphic language he used. Another law enforcement bungle:

Prosecutors acknowledged that if Karr were convicted he would not have served any additional time in jail because he spent several months behind bars awaiting trial in 2001. They said they were seeking to have him register as a sex offender

http://cbs5.com/topstories/local_story_278164805.html

In new motions, the defense asks that the current case be dismissed based on the loss of Karr's computer. Prosecutors have a copy of its hard drive, but no records show when that was made or who's used it.

He's going to go free, apparently:

http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/10/05/karr.porn.ap/index.html

The computer had not been accessed or used since 1998, but the family moved to CA in 2000 and the charges were brought against him in 2001.

The article says the period in which the charges could be brought have expired, the hard drive copy alone cannot be used as evidence and there is some question as to the validity of the charges to begin with, as the person making the accusations, according to the writer of the article, was judged to be mentally ill.

Does anyone know who originally brought the charges against him/made the accusation that what was on the computer was child porn?

His then wife, now ex-wife? Perfect timing if they were separating at that point. Or was it someone else? If so, who and why?

And, if the computer was in storage and the images hadn't been viewed since 1998, almost 3 years before the charges were brought, why the delay? If someone was so sure it was child porn and they thought it was worng, why wait 3 years to make the charge?

I am confused, yet again, when it comes to anything to do with this case.

The computer had not been accessed or used since 1998, but the family moved to CA in 2000 and the charges were brought against him in 2001.

The article says the period in which the charges could be brought have expired, the hard drive copy alone cannot be used as evidence and there is some question as to the validity of the charges to begin with, as the person making the accusations, according to the writer of the article, was judged to be mentally ill.

Does anyone know who originally brought the charges against him/made the accusation that what was on the computer was child porn?

His then wife, now ex-wife? Perfect timing if they were separating at that point. Or was it someone else? If so, who and why?

And, if the computer was in storage and the images hadn't been viewed since 1998, almost 3 years before the charges were brought, why the delay? If someone was so sure it was child porn and they thought it was worng, why wait 3 years to make the charge?

I am confused, yet again, when it comes to anything to do with this case.

I'm confused too. I'm not sure where that 1998 date is coming from? This is from an older article when the story first broke.

In April of 2001, Karr was arrested at a school in Napa on five counts of possessing child pornography. He did serve some time in jail, but was released on his own recognizance in October and later failed to show up in court. He is wanted in Sonoma County and a warrant is still out for his arrest for failure to appear on those charges.

His teaching credential in Petaluma was suspended, then revoked for violating the education code.

Lara Karr filed for divorce after her husband was charged in 2001. When he was allowed out of jail, it was with a lot of limitations and restrictions, including supervised visits with his own children and he was not allowed to be around other children. He was ordered to stay off the computer. Investigators say he was using the computer for child pornography.

He looked as if he might burst into tears as he was leaving the courthouse. Probably sorry he was not going to get some more free room and board. No telling what was stored on the hard drive of that computer of his that was lost.

It was awful, watching him walking out a free man yesterday, knowing how twisted and perverted his mind is.

I doubt he'll have to worry about free room and board. I'd imagine he'll get plenty of $ offers for his story, and may well end up a very rich man. What a travesty!

I wonder if Karr will be at the press conference his attorneys are planning on holding this morning.

MOO

I can't believe this guy is getting off several times!

First he bails out in California and flees overseas. Eventually picked up in Thailand, was alleged to be charged as a "public nusiance" or something like that but managed to escape to the US - on taxpayer dollars - to face his charges of being JBR's killer. Then he's let off on those charges - goes back to california only to have the original charges dismissed.

the guy needs to play the lottery. :rolleyes:

Between California and Boulder, CO, many of those involved apparently went to the Barney Fife school of law enforcement. I just wonder how long he'll last out on the streets, and how long before he disappears and ends up in Thailand again.

I am the individual in the Bus station who ran into someone whom I believe was Karr but can not swear to it. The video tape in the station was sealed with a Gag order early on, no public discussion allowed. This information is from Larry Kings Staff and CNN's Candiotti. I refer you to two sites which may come into play here. I am the author of both, and that may contribute to the problem.
www.KingSolomonsGate.com (http://www.KingSolomonsGate.com) (Karr Story)
and
www.Unabombers.com (http://www.Unabombers.com)

Perhaps an independent Lab might want to retest Karrs DNA? or Perhaps a better explanation is needed for why it was six years in showing up?

Well it was a school where Karr used to teach. And there were 2 ABC producers, camera man, and limo driver with him, it not like he was stalking or attempting to kidnap some students. Maybe if you watch ABCnews to understand what his story is about. At least Karr and ABCnews was being honest that they visit that school for Karr's story, instead of a pedophile in sheep clothing sneaking into school and you wont know it. IMO

At least ABC decided not to continue the interview, so you can’t blame ABC. Karr is legally to walk by any schools; he didn’t go inside the building as most of schools have security to prevent anyone entering or students leaving. If you read that article again, ABC decided not to process the interview after Karr got out and walked toward school building looking through the window. ABC just wants a story, but they decided having enough from being freak out about Karr’s behavior. Your point would be made if ABC still process Karr’s story after visiting old school stunt. Many media would process Karr’s interview, but ABC proved they refused to tolerate Karr’s stunt. I don’t think there need to blame on ABC, but to blame Karr & America government for not placing Karr into mental institution. IMO

Both sides claim to know.

Why shouldn't John Walsh, just like everybody else?

BTW, I didn't notice anyone using the C word which seems to have been outlawed by the propaganda of those who must use C's. Who else would care so much about one perfectly legit word than those who must have some kind of guilt about it? There's laws about conspiracy, both civil and criminal. So it's reality.

Mind you, I didn't say it's reality in any particular case. Just that it's a legit word you can't use for intimidation.

Everyone else? No, Vaughn had a long interesting theory about Mark Klaas's connection to this case right here on this forum. If you haven't read it yet, I will try find it for you. I just enjoy reading his theories, it not about that I believe or disbelieve them, it just about enterainment for me at least. Since John Walsh went hothead on all other cases busting criminals, but he looked into this case probably only for short time, then step back saying it was an intruder, but I dont see him doing anything about it at least.

Interesting, when you said “us”, do you mean everything revolves around you? You must be special. Do you have any idea what Vaughancauthen tend to contribute here? His or her conspiracy theories are intriguing for reading, even to both RDI and IDI. Not because these theories are found truth, it just an entertainment reading. As for John Walsh, he never had dispute with me about this case; I doubt he knows more about this case than you or anyone on this forum. As creating conspiracy theories against him by posters here are really trivial compare to what he should deserves for not being through investigating into this case. My requests to Vaughan have nothing to do at relating with anyone’s beliefs here, even you. IMO

Thanks, Harz, but I'm not a regular here, just once in a while, and I'm not familiar with the names you mention, except Klaas, don't remember who Vaughn is without reading the whole thread again. I'll wait for a consensus.

Re John Walsh, well, maybe he needs time to think, as we all do. Ten years have seemed almost like just a moment. I was attempting to find with a web search how many American kids had been beheaded in recent years, and found that some people ridiculed Walsh about now being a "star" due to Adam's death. Nothing constructive. There were 3 kids in Ca., but I couldn't even find out if they were siblings, if there are suspects, or anything. The word beheaded switches you off to foreign countries no matter what the rest of the search term.

Well, when I say us I mean everyone in the general public and yes that would mean me too. I was not talking about you in any way shape or form I was talking about the way they were attacking John Walsh who has been a great supporter of victims rights and LE. Acting like he must be stupid, when most likely he knows only what people know in general (Nothing), because he came to a different view than the person writing the post. Oh, and I do not know if you know this but, everyone is special is his or her own way. Have you never watched Barney? :shrug:

I can't believe that the DA's office just took Tracey's word and didn't do the homework FIRST to find out if Karr really was the killer before bringing him back to the US so publicly. It's not like Tracey hasn't pointed the finger at other innocent people before (Helgoth and Gigax, both cleared after Tracey named them as the killer.) Lacy and Tracey ended up making complete fools out of themselves over this disaster, and poor JonBenet (and poor Polly Klaas) were victimized all over again by that sick pervert Karr and his fifteen minutes of fame.

Nuisance -- you have to admit those tapes of what Karr was saying was pretty freaky. I think it would have been worse if Lacy had ignored them. I think she did what she had to do; wasn't a waste either because the man needs to be kept away from children. At least what happened erred on the side of children. jmo

From Lacy's first press conference, it was quite clear she had not wanted to bring him back so publicly. Someone leaked it to the press, remember? And I'd bet money that Bangkok officials (or someone from their office) was involved in that bit. Esp considering the circus surrounding their press conference.

Are you ignoring the fact that all that has happened is the children in Atlanta are now at risk? Heck, LE can't even classify him as a pedophile now because of the bungling that went on in California! What 'happened' didn't help any children anywhere, would you like him living in your neighborhood and the police can't do anything??? :rolleyes: Say what you please, but don't distort the facts.
