THE family of JonBenet Ramsey still hopes the killer of the 6-year-old beauty queen will be found.

John Mark Karr, the suspect in the killing of six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, arrived in the US after a 15-hour flight from Thailand on which he sipped champagne, dined on fried king prawns and roast duck, and exchanged what he described as “small talk” with law enforcement escorts.

Thai authorities today barred access to murder suspect John Mark Karr as varying accounts of what he said about the death of six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey raised questions as to whether his confession could help solve the decade-old case.
