John Mark Karr admits he was with JonBenet Ramsey when she died
A 41-year old former American school teacher admitted publicly today that he was with JonBenet Ramsey when she died in 1996. John Mark Karr said that her death was an accident and that he loved the girl. He further said that he tried to kidnap her and when the incident went awry, he accidentally strangled her in the process.
JonBenet was found beaten and strangled in the basement of her home on Dec. 26, 1996 in Boulder, Colorado. A media blitz ensued afterwards and many people had speculated that her mother was somehow involved in the murder. For many years the tabloids were abuzz with “new evidence” and “new proof” that somehow the family was connected to her death, but for 10 years the gruesome murder had remained a mystery.
Karr will be flown to the United States to face first degree murder charges later this week. He was detained in Thailand after the country’s police captured him after a 2 month investigation.
