So they finally found the guy that murdered JonBenet. In 1996 when she died, I had 3 little kids of my own, 3, 5 & 7 yrs old, and it really hit close to home (once again) how fragile life is and how you can wake up one morning and find that your life has changed overnight ( Read more... )

i was thinking the same thing this morning on the way to work, how the sun was reflected on the grass and a plane silently taking off into the sky.

i was listening to Sarah McLaughlin on my iPod and theres these lyrics that are so haunting "takes each breath as if it were her last..." and you have to wonder if theres a finite time we have on this world or if everything is random. Either way somedays its the little things like sunshine that make me happy and everything is right.

I'm glad they caught the guy who did it. I'm glad that her spirit can be at peace.

But mostly i'm glad that the people i love are alright today, posting, working, whatever, my friends and family that are here seem to be okay. and that is making me very happy right now.

I've been following this case for ten years, because.. well, that's my nature to do with legal cases that interest me. And I'm curious how this is all going to shake down. It appears that this individual "was in love" with JonBenet... which means he had to have atleast seen her before. I'm betting we're going to hear more about children in pageants very soon...

And yes, I agree... the world can change overnight. And even when there is a slight moment of expectation of it, it still rocks your world, no matter what.

There's a theory elsewhere on my flist that this guy didn't do it -- that he's obsessed with the case and following all the details and making up a fantasy. It's still sort of in a conspiracy-theory stage, but it's interesting if some of the details coming out are true (e.g. that he may actually have an alibi and was known to be in Alabama when it happened).

As much as I loathe the whole idea of kiddie pageants, it takes a 'special' kind of person to lust after a child, no matter how much lipstick her parents made her wear. Real pedophiles find victims somewhere eventually, even if they don't get a chance to see them trotted out on stage.

It's entirely possible. However, apparently he knows some details of the case tht were never publicized. We'll see. And I will be watching. I understand his ex-wife says that yes, it's IMPOSSIBLE for him to have done it.

And yes, I agree, kiddie pageants are gross. But you are correct, pedophiles will find kids if they want them. However, why, as a parent would you line them up like at a buffet?

agreed. i think thats why the whole case disgusted me. at 4 or 5 no kid shoud be made to think their worth is in their looks.

i was always tiny and everyone ALWAYS said how thin i was. now i'm paranoid as hell and fucked up.

Still, she should have had the chance to grow up and be her own person and tell her mother to stop showing her off like a prized whatever.

I'm not sure he did it either. too suspicious i think the news is grasping because Iraq can't be in the news this week frankly
