JOHN MARK KARR

- Former teacher who made international headlines after Thai authorities arrested him for confessing to the murder of JonBenet.
- Initial reports - including one by the Associated Press - stated that Karr had knowledge of the crime scene which was not publicly available. This was quicky retracted and all traces of these reports have been scrubbed from the internet.
- Knew Patsy's mother's nickname.
- Drew a map of the basement of the Ramsey home from memory, was said to be a perfect match except "flipped" - i.e. rooms on the opposite sides of where they were.
- Initially claimed to have intended to kidnap JonBenet for ransom and then accidentally killed her during a sexual assault.
- Quickly withdrew the confession and instead claims to have been with her when she died, but was not the person who killed her. Has continued to stick to this second story long after being dismissed as a false confessor.
- Noted to live an extravagant lifestyle for a teacher, travelling and working in dozens of countries and driving expensive cars.
- Similarities between the ransom note and Karr's writing.
- Is now living as a transgender woman under the name Alexis Reich.
