An Arrest 10 Years Later.
Of course after Patsy kicked it.cnn.com reports:
"A suspect was arrested Wednesday "for the December 26, 1996, murder of JonBenet Ramsey," the district attorney in Boulder, Colorado, said Wednesday.
A law enforcement source identified the suspect as 41-year-old John Mark Karr, a one-time schoolteacher and American citizen who has lived in Conyers, Georgia.
A law enforcement source identified the suspect as 41-year-old John Mark Karr, a one-time schoolteacher and American citizen who has lived in Conyers, Georgia.
Karr has confessed to some elements of the crime, law enforcement sources told CNN.
The sources added that Karr had been communicating with someone in Boulder and that online investigation played a key role in leading authorities to the suspect.
It is the first arrest in the decade-long investigation of the 6-year-old beauty pageant contestant's slaying. The breakthrough came as a surprise to many who feared the case might never be solved.
Karr was arrested in Bangkok, Thailand, following "several months of focused and complex investigation," District Attorney Mary Lacy said.
JonBenet's parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, were consulted during the investigation, Lacy said, and the Ramsey family was notified of the arrest. Patsy Ramsey died in June of ovarian cancer at age 49.
Two law enforcement sources told CNN that Karr also is under investigation for an unrelated sex crime.
An investigator with the Boulder County District Attorney's office is bringing Karr to Colorado from Thailand. Prosecutors plan to hold a news conference in Boulder on Thursday."

No action deserves what happened to this little girl. I do agree however on general principle that no 5/6 year old should have her mother put red lipstick on her. It is the PARENTS who want the attention when they do that.
Still seems a little hinky. I gotta wonder if he's just crazy and wants the attention.
I live near Boulder. The parents aren't off the hook until it is proven that this sick bastard is the culprit. He may not be guilty of this crime, but he's still a perv deserving high speed 9mm lead poisoning.
