I just finished reading Perfect Murder, Perfect Town & I can't see any way that a stranger would have been able to navigate that house in the middle of the night and lure the kid from her bed without waking anyone else up. And the fact that her parents were ready to hop on a plane to Atlanta the same night is just too weird. Why would you even think about leaving under those circumstances? I don't know if she was deliberately killed or if it was an accident that they tried to cover up in a state of panic (I lean toward the latter)...but I can only believe it was at the hands of one of the family members. Too bad we will never know for sure.

It doesn't imply family or a stranger, someone aware of the layout of the house.

The odds this was a complete stranger are slim.

One thing that really rattled me about this case, was when the police questioned everyone who had access to the home, or could have gone in the kitchen, and grabbed extra house keys. After this case, and Elizabeth Smart case, we no longer had a key board in our kitchen, we kept our keys either on our person, or in a locked drawer.

Of course, in both cases, a dog would have been an excellent deterrant to anyone coming in...and alerted the family. And I had a dog when my kids were small...he was quite vocal when anyone came over.

A dog wouldn't help when the murderer is a family member such as in the OJ Simpson case!!

John Mark Karr had been emailing with a professor at the University of Colorado four years prior to him being arrested. His email address was the date of the murder. It wasn't like he confessed on a whim. He was pretty much playing a part in the emails, as this serial child murderer, as he also claimed to be wanted for other murders, which wasn't true. A lot of people said he was obsessed with the case, and it wouldn't surprise me if he truly thinks he killed JonBenet, or wishes he did.

John Mark Karr now goes by the name Alexis Reich. Quite a bizarre individual to say the least.

Wow! Thanks for the link. That was the most biazarre story I have ever read.

He was charged with possession of child porn, and was a teacher at the same time. Then he get a license to run a daycare?! And now, he is a woman?!

I wish he had been guilty. He should be locked up for something.

He IS a piece of work, isn't he?

And to top it all off........I always thought he resembled JonBenet.

Whether the dog barked or did not would have been telling and one side or the other of this debate would have been favored.
