John Mark Karrr And Ramsey Case

John Mark Karr’s relationship with JonBenet began when he reached out to a University of Colorado Boulder professor named Michael Tracy over email. The emails, anonymous at first, revealed “the grown man’s sexual fascination with JonBenet” (Lovitt). Not only did he confess out-of-the-blue, but he confessed “to the strangulation of JonBenet in graphic, sexual detail”, which greatly concerned police and detectives (Lovitt).
