E-mails a portrait of 'my darkness' (Karr's e-mails to Tracey)

[LiberalHeart]

It was the day before Christmas Eve 2005 when John Mark Karr sent an e-mail to University of Colorado professor Michael Tracey, seeking a strange favor.

He asked Tracey to visit JonBenet Ramsey's old house in Boulder and read aloud an ode he called JonBenet, My Love.

"JonBenet, my love, my life. I love you and shall forever love you. I pray that you can hear my voice calling out to you from my darkness - this darkness that now separates us," it read, in part.

The e-mail was part of a small sample of the often lurid and disturbing correspondence between a person that investigators believe to be Karr and Tracey. The e-mails were obtained Thursday by the Rocky Mountain News from a source close to the investigation.

1. Karr is a very sick guy, clearly obsessed with this

case, though nothing he's said lends me to believe he had anything to do with it. Has anyone else never before heard of the "white Santa Claus teddy bear" that supposedly showed up in Jon Benet's bedroom? What's that all about?

2. He just wants to be linked publicly to the case

This is his moment of glory.

They say he wants to do a second interview. Since when are prisoners allowed to give interviews? I'm sure there's a few in Gitmo who would love the opportunity.

3. I've never read anything about a teddy bear...

6. That Teddy Ber thing is creepy. Wonder if that pic is actually of Karr...

also, the fact that the emails discuss the fact that Karr was raised as a girl by his mom is a mindblower. This guy is a freak.

7. See post #4 -- the teddy bear was given to JB at a pageant

before she died. There's a videotape with JB and her mother with the bear.

5. He thinks he's Humbert Humbert
