Fred Harteis News Articles - Karr on flight to Los Angeles

Fred Harteis News Articles - A suspect in the 1996 death of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey has begun his journey back to the United States where he is to be questioned by Boulder, Colorado, investigators.

John Mark Karr, 41, said nothing as he walked out of the detention center in Bangkok, surrounded by Thai police officers, at 3 p.m. local time Sunday.

Karr's face appeared emotionless.

U.S. officials are accompanying Karr on the Thai Airways commercial flight that is scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles at 8:40 p.m..

Karr sat in business class and dined on paté and prawns, and drank champagne, a beer, and French chardonnay, while reports circulated in Bangkok that he had been a patient at a sex-change clinic there, an Associated Press reporter on board the flight reported.

No decision has been made on where he will be taken upon arrival in the United States, a spokeswoman for the Boulder, Colorado, district attorney's office said Saturday.

Several options have been discussed, including the possibility Karr may remain a while in California, Karen Salaz said.

Karr, the father of three boys, was employed as a schoolteacher when he was arrested in April 2001 in Sonoma County, California, on five misdemeanor charges of possessing child pornography.

A bench warrant was issued for his arrest seven months later when he failed to appear in court, according to the Sonoma County District Attorney's Office.
