Alibi for main suspect in JonBenet case
BOULDER - It would have been "impossible" for John Mark Karr to have killed JonBenet Ramsey because he was with his family in another state when the child beauty queen was slain nearly 10 years ago, his half-brother said yesterday.
Nate Karr's comments offered support for an alibi offered by John Karr's former wife.
Mr Karr (41), a teacher, is expected on Monday to make his first court appearance in Boulder, Colorado, where JonBenet (6) was found strangled to death on December 26th, 1996. - (Reuters)
