Just Put That on My Tab

Ya know, hubby and I put family vacation plans on hold this summer because the cost of an airline ticket more than doubled by May, and we would have had to pony up more than a couple thousand just to GET to our destination. But apparently, if you claim to be the murderer in a ten year old case involving a child, then you get the royal treatment!

Karr was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on a warrant from Boulder County, Colo., after getting off a Thai Airways flight, where he feasted on champagne toasts and roast duck. A helicopter then whisked him to the Twin Towers jail shortly before midnight.

The 41-year-old school teacher's return to the United States was voluntary, and he wasn't handcuffed before or during the 15-hour Thai Airways flight from Bankok.

Dressed in a red, short-sleeve, button-down shirt and black tie, Karr was whisked through Don Muang International Airport in Bangkok. He chatted with fellow passengers at the departure gate.

Aboard the jet he took a window seat next to Mark Spray, an investigator with the Boulder County district attorney's office. The escort also included a U.S. Embassy official and an agent with "Homeland Security" on his shirt.

Before takeoff, Karr took a glass of champagne from a flight attendant and clinked glasses with Spray, who sipped orange juice.

Karr first dined on pate, salad, fried king prawn, steamed rice, broccoli and chocolate cake. He also had a beer — crushing the empty can with his hands — and then had a glass of chardonnay.
Karr appeared to order the drinks himself.

He later dined on roast duck with soy sauce and yellow noodles, and for his third meal had pizza, chocolates and a bottle of Evian.

He sometimes conversed with Spray, who took notes on some of the remarks. Karr told an AP reporter that it was "small talk."

Also during the flight, Karr flipped through movie channels, watched "The Last Samurai," dozed and made several trips to the restroom accompanied by two guards. Each time the door was left slightly ajar.

Patsy Ramsey must be rolling over in her grave. Imagine having to hear about a man who claims to have murdered your child, clinking his champaigne glass with the investigator assigned to escort him, chatting it up, and eating a feast fit for a king. AND on your (tax dollar) dime!
