JonBenet Killer John Karr Caught & Other Gossip

Posted in Law by Elliott Back on August 18th, 2006.

Apparently, a man named John Karr confessed to killing child beauty star JonBenet Ramsey and was apprehended on unrelated sex-trafficking charges in Bangkok, Thailand. There are a few strange things about this case, though. First, a sketch by psychic Dorothy Allison in 1998 looks remarkably like the suspect:

According to CNN, though, his confession may not be real:

Some observers have speculated that the 41-year-old may have falsely confessed — either intentionally out of a desire to link himself to such a high-profile case or because he is delusional.

If you take a look at him, do you notice a resemblance to the Half-Life 2 star, the G-Man? I sure do:

While I doubt this is a Valve publicity stunt, everything just feels surreal and weird…

Update: Kotaku notices the same thing; so does a random gamer.
