Everbody remember this tragic murder 10 years ago.

Authorities have made an arrest in the JonBenet Ramsey case, law enforcement sources told CNN on Wedesday.

An investigator with the Boulder County, Colorado, District Attorney's office traveled to Bangkok, Thailand, and is bringing a suspect back to the United States, CNN's Denver affiliate KUSA reported.

The suspect was arrested Wednesday morning and has confessed to certain elements of the crime that are unknown to the general public, KUSA reported.

Prosecutors have not confirmed the identity of the suspect, but expect to hold a press conference later today.

JonBenet's beaten and strangled body was found in the basement of the family home in Boulder, Colorado, the day after Christmas in 1996.

A grand jury investigation into the death of the child beauty pageant winner ended without charges in 1999.

The investigation focused a spotlight on the child's parents, John and Patsy Ramsey. Patsy Ramsey died in June.

The Ramseys said an intruder committed the crime, but they remained the subject of suspicion and speculation.

"The Ramseys left Colorado and had a house in Charlevoix, Michigan, where John Ramsey unsuccessfully ran for office in 2004, and in Atlanta, Georgia

Woahhhhhhh!

THAILAND?!

I hope there's finally some closure to this...

Wow, how random is that? I had always suspected the parents, or at least the mother. I guess it was just the media painting a bad picture of them.

Holy CRAP.

If her parents really didn't have anything to do with the murder, I feel so bad Patsy Ramsey isn't around to get closure

Wow.

It took 10 years but is there FINALLY a break in this case?

I watched the news here and it was said that Patsy was made aware that there was going to be an arrest for JonBenet's murder; so she did know that there was a break in the case shortly before she died.

How hard it must have been for this family to endure ten years of constant speculation that they had played a vital role in their daughter's murder. I hope that this will finally be the thing that gives Mr. Ramsey closure....not only has he lost his daughter so many years ago, and had to live with not knowing who harmed her, but also had to say good-bye to the woman that fought with him to get to the truth.

Though I am glad they have finally found a suspect; I feel for the parents, who had to deal with the media and the American people accuse them of the crime. The sad thing is that no one will probably every apologize, at least now the father can grieve without someone looking down at him and accusing him.

Wow, how random is that? I had always suspected the parents, or at least the mother. I guess it was just the media painting a bad picture of them.

I totally agree. And Thailand? Wow this news is out of nowhere. But if it clears the family name and brings closure then good. The media frenzy has been insane.

I just don't get how they did not suspect this guy like ummmm in 96!? Or whenever it happened. They focused SO MUCH on the parents.

In all honesty, I pointed the finger at the parents. I'll have to wait for all the evidence before I can still make my final theory.

See, THIS is why Nancy Grace shouldn't miss her own [!@#$%^&*] show!

See, THIS is why Nancy Grace shouldn't miss her own [!@#$%^&*] show!

I hope they gain concrete information; I would hate to find out somewhere down the line after everything is gathered, for this man to say he didn't do it, and only said he did to get some publicity and to keep JonBenet's case out there.

I'm thinking this guy is a real nutcase and really didn't do the crime.

He has had years to study every detail of this case because he was obsessed with JonBenet.

Now, since he has been arrested, he confesses to the crime. I'm not buying it yet.

I suspected the Ramsey's, particularly Patsy all along.

So, I can't believe just out of the clear blue we have this confession.

I'm a bit skeptical too b/c it's just so random. Of course, anything can happen, but aside from a confession, do they have anything concrete? The guy seems so off-the-wall that he could just be confessing for the hell of it.

I always suspected that it was the parents because didn't the dad mess up with the crime scene? That always seemed strange to me.

When I heard the news, I was hoping that they'd be discussing it on Nancy Grace, but when I tuned in, that dumb Glenn Beck guy was on insteaad.

I watched Cnn a little last night, it said DNA tests were done on John and Patsy three years ago that exonerated them as JonBenet's killers. And they showed a clip of the dad on Larry King telling him exactly what he did when he found her(taking the tape off her mouth and trying to untie her hands and then finally just holding her) and I have to say I would of done the same thing, crime scene be damned if that was my child.

Anyway....

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - John Mark Karr's correspondence with a professor who made documentaries on the JonBenet Ramsey case was key to his arrest in the decade-old slaying, a private investigator was quoted as saying.

Karr, 41, arrested Wednesday in Bangkok, began an exchange of hundreds of e-mails with University of Colorado journalism professor Michael Tracey four years ago, revealing critical information about the 1996 killing of the 6-year-old beauty-pageant star, investigator Ollie Gray told the Rocky Mountain News.

"(The suspect) talked about being there, about doing this and doing that, and knowing this and knowing that," Gray said. "He had a whole bunch of things that didn't come out before. It wasn't part of what the media was allowed to get at before."

Tracey produced three documentaries on the Boulder, Colorado, case and contended the girl's parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, were unfairly viewed as suspects. He worked closely with Gray, who had been hired by the Ramsey family, alongside former Colorado Springs police detective Lou Smit.

Karr became interested in Tracey's documentary "Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey?" and started an e-mail correspondence with him, Gray said. He said Tracey eventually became disturbed by Karr's writings and was encouraged to continue corresponding with him.

Tracey declined to comment on his role in the Karr investigation but was quoted by the News as saying, "I do believe he has the right to be presumed innocent. I got involved in this, for 10 years, because I believe that right was never extended to the Ramseys and that was wrong."

Gray said he and his associates pressed the Boulder district attorney to look into Karr, but that authorities were reluctant until Gray was on the verge of going to Paris, where Karr was believed to have been, to confront Karr himself.

Prosecutors interviewed Tracey in June and "then they got damn serious in a big hurry," Gray said.

"Michael Tracey was instrumental in this investigation," Susan Stine, a Ramsey family friend, told the Rocky Mountain News. "He was instrumental in flushing this person (Karr) out in the sense of getting him to talk."
