Guilty until proven Innocent...?

phoenixastraeaOK, flist. I'm sure that anyone who has been even moderately close to a TV set in the past several days has seen at least part of the news about John Mark Karr, the supposedly confessed killer of JonBenet Ramsey. He confessed and knew intimate details about the case.
So...why do I feel so uneasy? Despite the confession, the details, etc, something doesn't feel right about this. Not like my intuition is infallible, but something just doesn't click here. Why come forward and readily confess after 10 years of relative anonymity? The police bungled the case so badly barely any evidence was going to stand up in court. This guy was in Thailand...there was a chance that they'd NEVER catch him. What sort of strange events happened to fortuitously come together to bring this man to light?
What do you all think? Perhaps I'm in the minority, but despite how desperately disgusting and creepy he is (apparently, he married a 13 year old and a 14 year old when he was pushing 20 and was tossed out of several schools for inappropriate behavior towards his female students), I just don't think he's the guy. Soemthing else is at stake here.
Thoughts?
