Karr is supposed to return to the U.S. today and we’ll hopefully soon get our answers about this unique and odd individual.

Many people have come to my website to check and see if I believe Karr when he says he killed JonBenet Ramsey, he was with her when she died and it was an accident.

I do NOT believe any one of these three statements made by John Karr. I believe he is knowingly deceiving people though I do not believe this man is mentally healthy.

I think Karr fixated on JonBenet years ago, and I believe he has become so fixated on her that he wants in anyway to be associated with her — even if it means confessing to a crime he did not commit. He just wants to be part of JonBenet, positive or negatively – it doesn’t matter.

When Karr speaks to the media, he is unable to answer any important questions. He stutters for words, moves his eyes in ways that shows he has to consciously think before he speaks to say the “right things”. None of Karr’s words come naturally — which they would if he was telling the truth. A killer who confesses and would finally want this done and over with — would give some true signs that he was the killer. Karr cannot do this.

Furthermore, Karr shows he is very nervous, and he flashes tiny expressions of glee which I believe represent the glee that he feels because he is actually getting away with this. It thrills him. This expression furthermore tells me that John Karr knows he is lying. He knows he didn’t kill JonBenet — at least during these interviews. If Karr suffers from delusions however, that state of mind may change and there may be times when he believes he killed her.

I also found a statement made by John Ramsey unique. His comments about Karr were something to the effect we shouldn’t jump to conclusions — until all the facts are in. Ramsey stuttered while he said it. This also raised my eyebrows. Does he know this man is innocent?

Hopefully, DNA and other evidence will clear this guy, and he won’t be made to be the fall-out guy. This man definitely needs psychiatric help.
