The extremely somber reasons why suspect John Mark Karr ought to be re-involved in the murder of the child beauty queen have been made public by an investigator in the Jon Bent Ramsey case.
The links Karr has to the cold case that has sparked speculation about whether he is the person police have been looking for since the horrific murder can be found on Knewz.com.
28 years have passed since the 6-year-old was brutally murdered on Christmas night, 1996, in her family’s basement.
Karr is one of the many candidates that have been explored for years as the case has remained unresolved.
Despite child pornography charges still outstanding, Karr left the United States in 2001. According to reports, he was apprehended by police because he claimed to have been with “JonBenet when she died and it was an accident.”
He did, however, come to the attention of the authorities in 2006 when a professor from the University of Colorado in Boulder disclosed that he had corresponded with “Daxis” for four years. This individual appeared to be obsessed with the case and reportedly sounded as though he was confessing to the murder of the child beauty queen.
Karr was that individual.
Karr’s DNA, however, did not match the evidence at the crime scene, and officials concluded that he was not in Colorado at the time of the young girl’s murder.
After being freed by the police, Karr then disappeared.
Karr had a difficult childhood and past before he was implicated in the Ramsey case.
His mother is accused of setting him on fire when he was just six years old and accusing him of being the offspring of Satan.
Before her family dissolved their marriage, he married his first wife when she was just 13 years old.
After that, Karr and his second wife, Lara, lost their twin daughters during birth.
Before she divorced him, they had three boys.
The team working to solve the crime was gradually assembled, with Laurie Simpson joining it because Karr was still a person of interest in the horrific murder.
Simpson worked in the hospitality industry and was well-versed on the Ramsey case, but she was neither an investigator nor a former law enforcement official.
Following their phone calls and emails, Simpson said Karr was “sometimes charismatic” and that they “talked about cornbread recipes.”
In a previous interview, Simpson stated: “I do think he is the murderer. ‘You don’t know me, Raye,’ he once said to Raye (Croghan). I’m a really dark individual.”
Croghan, a tech-savvy security expert, tried to learn everything he could.
Simpson has stated that the deaths of his twin daughters, Angel and Innocence, may have been a contributing factor in the murder of a young beauty queen.
According to a nurse who knew Karr, the twin girls passed away at home after he gave birth to them.
“He wanted to take his wife Lara to Northside Hospital in Atlanta,” Simpson asserted. JonBenet was born in the location. When he told me that story, he became irate. He pondered why his twins perished while JonBenet survived. He used to cry over the twins.
Simpson’s belief that Karr killed Ramsey is also largely supported by the fact that he frequently used words that were similar to those in the ransom letter discovered the night the young girl was killed.
There have been new findings in the cold case some thirty years after the world-shocking murder, and Ramsey’s father, John, who is now eighty-one, is still trying to figure out who killed his daughter.
John recently disclosed that, as he continues to follow up on leads in the case, he intends to meet with Stephen Redfearn, the chief of the Boulder Police Department, in Colorado next month. This is made possible by new developments in detective techniques, such as DNA sample.
Simpson disclosed that she recently tried to get in touch with Chief Redfearn but didn’t receive a direct response. Instead, Boulder Detective Scott Byars got in touch with her.
During a two-hour chat, she shared all of the information she had learned about Karr from her own research.
