In addition, the suspects ex-wife claims to have been with him in Alabama or somewhere when the crime was committed.
Methinks we've not heard the last of this.
Or, to put it another way -- something smells.
ETA -- I just have to say it. The Ramseys acted very strangely in the months after the crime. They at first wouldn't cooperate with the police by not taking a lie dectector test (which they later did, and passed to be fair), and refused to be interviewed by police separately (which they finally did, again, to be fair).
While I'm sure this will open a hornet's nest, anyone who dressed their little girl up to look like a woman -- and all of the other outfits -- and were seemingly obscessed with these kiddy pageant things worry me to begin with.
In my mind, the parents aren't off the hook yet.

It's smelling halfway around the world!
Did anyone else catch the one news conference where the DA (I assume of Boulder, but I'm not sure) said that, "at this time, neither John Karr or John Ramsey has been indicted." I found that phrasing very interesting - obviously, the thought of the Ramseys being involved hasn't gone out the window.
Dr. Cyril Wecht had some interesting things to say, too. While he (and most of us, I presume) hopes that the parents were not involved, it does seem strange that a man would travel so far to see the child he "loved" on Christmas, instead of being with his own children, as his ex-wife says. Also, Karr claims to have had some sort of sexual contact with JonBenet, yet no semen was found. Karr would have had to break into this house (which had an alarm system), find her bedroom, wait while everyone came home, knew the amount of the bonus (the $118,000 "ransom"), purportedly had some sexual contact with JonBenet, and left her in a room so hard to find that a maid who had worked there for three years didn't know it existed. Karr then would have written the infamous ransom note, practicing it first and using or excellently faking Patsy Ramsey's handwriting on a notepad when he knew he was leaving a body, and not part of a kidnapping. It just doesn't add up.
And on another note, isn't it a pity that this child's death gets SO much publicity, while so many other children die in anonymity? Granted, the whole childhood beauty pagent thing made this a "sexy" news story (no pun intended), but the parents of those other children must feel terrible about the lack of concern on behalf of their kids.
