As it now turns out, John Mark Karr is not the killer of JonBenet Ramsey. There was no match between the DNA found on JonBenet’s body and Karr’s DNA. As I wrote in my Blog about this case: I guess all that is left now, is to match his DNA to the DNA extracted from the crime scene, because personally, I do not rule out that Karr is confessing to something he did not do. So sadly my gut feeling (to me he just looked like an obsessive freak) now turns out to be right. His motive for confessing seems unclear: but then again, lunacy in itself makes people unpredictable and erratic.
DNA tests completed on Saturday confirmed that Karr “was not the source of the DNA found on the underwear of JonBenet Ramsey” — disproving his claim that he was sexually involved with the child and killed her by accident. Karr’s family also provided “strong circumstantial” evidence he was with them in Georgia at the time of the crime, court papers stated. Karr claimed to have had a perpetrators knowlegde of the crime; this means he would have had knowlegde of details that were not been disclosed to the press. Usually police knowingly spreads wrong information about a case, so when they have someone that confesses, they can easily know if he/she is lying or not.
For instance: JonBenet died from a blow to the head and had been strangled with a garrote tightened with a paintbrush handle. Now, it could be that it wasn’t a paintbrush at all, but coathanger: such information would only be known to the real killer.
The sad thing is that the JonBenet Ramsey case will probably never be solved and will stay a cold case for ever.
