Apparently JonBenet Ramsey's killer is still on the loose. Well, DUH!!
The self-confessed "killer" John Mark Karr was nothing of the sort; he's an attention-seeker who greatly enjoyed his time in the limelight and used JonBenet's death to get exactly what he wanted.
The DNA didn't match, so the entire "case" came apart. It should be noted that the police had an obligation to bring this man home to investigate whether Karr did what he said he did, and they did precisely that. The prosecuting attorney looked at the results of DNA testing and confirmed what Karr's family was saying, and dismissed the charges against him.
The press ought to be ashamed of itself on how it handled this entire mess. Splashing this man's face all over creation; recording every movement Karr made and moving it to the top news story position under the screaming caption "BREAKING NEWS." This was a total media-driven fiasco.
How many copycats are going to follow Karr's example now? And how much law enforcement time and effort will be wasted in sorting out the liars from the real criminals? Whatever follows, the blame will belong exclusively to the media.
