An arrest. After 10 years, an arrest in the JonBenet Ramsey murder. John Karr, an American citizen, was arrested Wednesday in Bangkok, Thailand. And at this hour, it is unclear what Mr. Karr is charged with, but Boulder police want him back in Boulder. Joining us live on the phone is Nate Karr, John Karr's brother. Welcome, Nate. VAN SUSTEREN: Do you know if your brother, John, ever lived in Boulder, Colorado? KARR: To my knowledge, he never lived in Boulder, Colorado, and I don't think that he was ever there, to be honest with you. He may have been through there in transit at one point when he was moving to California maybe four years ago, but to my knowledge, that's the only time he would have ever been in Boulder, Colorado. VAN SUSTEREN: What's your brother like? KARR: He's just a great guy. He's a family man. He has three beautiful sons. You know, he was always a very loving brother and always there for the family, caring. And it's just beyond us how this could be possible. VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Now, your brother grew up in Alabama and Georgia, is that right? KARR: That's right. He did live for a while with our grandparents in Alabama. VAN SUSTEREN: All right. What -- did he ever work in Georgia? KARR: To my knowledge, he didn't work in Georgia. I believe he taught in Alabama, and for a short time, in California. VAN SUSTEREN: About what age did he leave Georgia? KARR: Well, he moved to California. You know, he was here off and on for family functions, but he lived in Alabama. I think he left Georgia maybe when he was young, very young, 12 years old or something like that, to live with the grandparents. VAN SUSTEREN: And so then he moved to Alabama. And then about what age did he leave Alabama? KARR: Well, he was in Alabama until four years ago or so, five years ago, when he moved to California with his family for a teaching job. VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Now, the JonBenet Ramsey murder case occurred 10 years ago. Did your brother live in Alabama up until four years ago? Is that what you said? KARR: Yes. Yes. To the best of my knowledge, he did reside in Alabama up until four or five years ago, when he moved to California, yes. He actually lived in a family home that we owned there that had belonged to our grandparents. And we had constant, you know, communication with him. They would come to our house in Atlanta for Thanksgiving and Christmas. And that's one of the points of contention maybe we talk about -- and maybe we talk to you tomorrow night -- is there's a possibility that we believe he could have been even here in Atlanta with us when this horrible tragedy occurred to little JonBenet Ramsey. And we don't know that for sure. We have to check our photo album and get the dates right. But you know, there's so many things that are going on that -- maybe we can talk to you more in depth tomorrow about why we think he is implicated in this. And it's -- to us, it's -- it's believable that they would implicate him because of some things that he was researching. VAN SUSTEREN: All right... KARR: And maybe he got his nose in where he shouldn't have gotten in it or whatever. But we can talk more about that tomorrow if we could get a chance to talk to you. VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Do you know if he knew the Ramsey family? KARR: To my knowledge, he did not know the Ramsey family, never had any contact with the Ramsey family directly, no. Even though we all did live in Atlanta, we were not affiliated in any way to the Ramseys. VAN SUSTEREN: Did he ever mention to you the death of JonBenet? KARR: Yes, he did, actually. That maybe we could get into more in depth. He was in the process several years ago, you know, maybe five, six years ago, long after the JonBenet murder, about researching a book he was going to try to write about men who create -- commit these horrible crimes against children. And I think he had even, at one point, been in contact with several, you know, convicted people. Like, I think that he actually had correspondence with the gentleman that was involved in the Polly Klaas case, and things of that nature. He was on the Internet, you know, doing research for his book. And that's why I say, you know, it's very possible that through his investigations for the book he was trying to write, you know, he was contacting people. He was trying to get the real feeling of why these people did this, what they were doing, how they would possibly go about doing this. And maybe, you know, the FBI or whatever saw this -- you know, his going to contact these people or him researching the Ramsey case so thoroughly and having such interest in it, maybe -- that is the only possible way that we think that he could have been brought into this because, of course, there's going to be no physical evidence. If they do, in fact, have DNA at the scene, please test him immediately so he can be vindicated. VAN SUSTEREN: What did he tell you about his research about the JonBenet Ramsey case? KARR: There was multiple things. I mean, you know, there was -- it was very in-depth. It was a research project for a manuscript he was going to write. So he got involved as much as he possibly could. But he never, to my knowledge, ever contacted the Ramsey family after the -- you know, at all. He would do things like, you know, research police reports or maybe even a coroner's report or, you know -- he was just trying to get in as in- depth as he could, to not only this case but other cases, as well. I mean, he wasn't some -- you know, it wasn't some -- something that he was, like, obsessed with the JonBenet Ramsey case. He was researching multiple incidences. |
