John Karr: Anatomy of a Pedophile
by Charles Coughlin
Most of America was shocked to hear an admitted pedophile, John Karr, confess to the slaying of six year old beauty queen, Jon-Benet Ramsey. The case had gone unsolved for ten years. Reportedly Karr was at one time a suspect in that case, but disappeared and authorities made little effort to pursue him.
Karr was apparently a seriously disturbed deviant from age nineteen. He went on to be a school teacher and even had plans to start his own day care center. An ABC News article reports “Quientana Ray was just 12 years old when she met John Mark Karr, the 41-year-old man under arrest for the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsey. Within a year, against her parents wishes, she and Karr, then 19, were married. Today, she talked about her ex-husband in an exclusive interview on ‘Good Morning America.’ Ray said she met Karr at a party in Hamilton, Ala.,and he proceeded to seduce her. Her parents, Melissa and Larry Shotts, said they were opposed to the marriage. The couple had a lengthy battle with Ray’s parents over the relationship. According to Ray’s parents, Karr became more defensive and threatening as they continued to oppose the couple’s plans. And Ray said Karr became a different person after they were married. ‘I believed he loved me,’ she said. But her marriage to Karr lasted less than a year. That year, according to Ray, was a tumultuous one. ‘I was drugged and things were done to me without me having any idea,’ said Ray.” (more…)
