Rocky Mountain Highjinks: Talk to My Agent
[CR note: The following is a transcript of an IM between Gregg Olsen and M. William Phelps].
Mathew says:
Hey, you got a minute … there’s some breaking news coming out about Karr. Juicy stuff.
Gregg says:
What is it?
Mathew says:
Before that, a question has been burning in me all day: You think part of the reason there’s this Jihad against the West stems from the fact that a Russian airliner crashes, nearly 200 people are killed, yet we fixate on John Karr’s four minutes in an LA courtroom?
Gregg says:
Mathew … allow me to explain: a heavyset Jerry Springer-type with a bunch of Karr tapes trumps a plane full of dead people any freakin’ day.
Mathew says:
You kill me. Natalee Holloway’s family can forget about any coverage with this debacle going on…
Gregg says:
Forget that. What about the breaking news?
Mathew says:
The Karr family hired an agent and is pawning book and film rights to the highest bidder?
Gregg says:
Judith Regan … you hear that! Well, we knew that was coming. I think I’m going to puke. This is why the rest of the world hates us. This is the real reason for the Jihad. Every time something like this happens Americans look for ways to make a buck.
Mathew says:
I just saw this item: “They’re not looking for money for themselves,” this idiot Larry Garrison, a producer the Karr family hired to represent them in media deals, said just a while ago. “They’re looking to support John’s boys’ college education and to make sure all legal fees are covered.”
Gregg says:
That is such a damn lie. They don’t care about college educations. They just have their paws out. Jesus, don’t they know a little girl was killed by some freak—maybe by their own freak.
Mathew says:
They don’t give two shats. They want to cash in now before the candle burns out.
Gregg says:
Speaking of flames, what’s up with Karr’s mother. Didn’t she try to use JMK as a presto log?
Mathew says:
Yeah, I couldn’t help but think: the Salem witch trial redux, starring John Karr and mommy! Karr now also says he had sex with JBR, you hear that? That’s what he told that investigator on the way back to the states. CNN is reporting it right now.
Gregg says:
Having sex with her? He considers raping and bashing in her head, sex?
Mathew says:
He says he also got into the house at 5:00 PM and hung out all night, hiding. But what about this … a handwriting expert just said there’s a million to one chance Karr DIDN’T write the ransom note. That’s on FOX, though. They report, you know …
Gregg says:
Boulder is now the new Aruba.
Mathew says:
Boulder is the new Aruba … good! Let’s boycott Boulder.
Gregg says:
I wonder if Natalee’s mother is mad.
Mathew says:
I wonder if Beth Twitty thinks Karr did it?
Gregg says:
I’ll bet that nitwit Greta will ask her.
Mathew says:
Maybe he’ll take credit for Natalee, too … we should probably leave Beth alone, Kid.
Gregg says:
I heard Karr killed the Black Dahlia.
Mathew says:
LOL! Back to this tape woman … the Jerry Springer chick. Why the hell did she hold out for so long? Five years with those tapes and now she comes forward? Bet she’s got an agent, too.
Gregg says:
Yeah, I can see the Lifetime Movie.
Mathew says:
Got a title?
Gregg says:
“Thank Heaven For Little Girls: A Moment of Truth (Or Not),” starring Delta Burke.
Mathew says:
Holy crap that’s funny. Wendy Hutchens, that’s her name! She kinda does look like Burke. Susan Lucci’s out for sure on this one, unless she plays Patsy. The tape lady says she met Karr through their mutual fascination with Richard Allan Davis, that bastard who murdered Polly Klaas.
Gregg says:
Yeah, just what Beth Twitty needs, a serial killer groupie fanning the flames for Karr.
Mathew says:
I said leave Beth alone!
Gregg says:
OK. I’m just so irritated by people who act like their loss is the only one that matters.
Mathew says:
To them it is. We hear that all the time from victims’ families. What about this Gary Harris character, the Karr family spokesperson? He said something like Karr’s no creature of the dark. He’s got some good inside of him. He wouldn’t kill a child. The media isn’t portraying him right.
Gregg says:
Not portrayed? The Michael Jackson/ Boy George hybrid isn’t creepy?
Mathew says:
Check this out: The Karr family thought Johnny Boy was dead because they hadn’t heard form him for so long–at least according to Larry Harris.
Gregg says:
I’ll bet deep down, they are wishing now that his mom was a better pyro/sadist.
Mathew says:
Speaking of which: is Michael Jackson dead? No one has seen him since his foray into child molestation charges.
Gregg says:
One can only hope. But I see that “Janet” Jackson has new album coming out.
Mathew says:
Miss You Much! Hey, speaking of transsexuals, any new news about Karr’s sex change?
Gregg says:
I didn’t know we were speaking about transsexuals. How’s this for the movie: Under the Hood: The Secret of the Karr’s Tranny? Never mind. I’m just rambling. I have a hard time taking this all too seriously. In fact, why would a man who wants to be a woman have sex with a little girl, anyway?
Mathew says:
Makes very little sense from a criminalistics standpoint. I’m scratching my head.
Gregg says:
Wouldn’t it be more likely that he’d want to take her shopping?
Mathew says:
Maybe he did? We just don’t know.
Gregg says:
Call me later. Gotta run.
Mathew says:
Later, Kid.

Karr’s story keeps getting (to quote the late great Lewis “I’m not a pedophile” Carroll) “curiouser and curiouser.” Apparently the infant as kindling story is being debated by other family friends…however I’m sure the real and official story will eventually make its way to the surface and mingle with all the other stuff out there creating a bungle of truths and myths that may never be sorted out.
Such fun. Can’t wait for the movie(s). I see Chad Lowe playing Karr. He hasn’t done anything in a while….this could be the break he’s been waiting for. I’d like to see Margo Kidder doing Hutchens, though.
I think Hutchens makes great TV. After all this JBR stuff fades away I’m going to call her and confess to stealing the Lindberg baby so she can have another 15 minutes. I find her much more entertaining than the sitcoms available.
I’m not too impressed with Professor Tracey. I’ve seen two interviews with him now. He spent the duration of the time talking about what he’s NOT going to talk about.
Michael Jackson’s still out there. Earlier in the month a press release talked about the conspiracy to throw the poor poor man in to bankruptcy. (For the record, anything I say about Jacko that may sound sympathetic or pro-Mikey is actually filled with sarcasm. It doesn’t translate to type well, but the sarcasm is there. Trust me.) Here’s a link to a brief article on that note. http://tinyurl.com/qctfy

“Mathew says:

I thought someone put him in a Burka, slapped a stamp on his butt, and shipped him to Bahrain.
August 23rd, 2006 at 7:45 pm
Gregg’s question, ” why would a man who wants to be a woman (HE wants to get screwed?)have sex with a little girl, anyway?” . . The ‘dog & pony show’ has started. I would like to know HOW so much misinformation makes it to TV? By the way Gregg, I got four of your books in today’s mail. RAH RAH ! MJ
August 23rd, 2006 at 9:09 pm
Natalee? Maybe he knows more about Jimmy Hoffa than he’s letting on. Think he’ll confess to that one?
August 23rd, 2006 at 9:18 pm
A guy just posted a photo comparison at my blog that may predict the perfect match of actor to role:
http://snipurl.com/vdj2
And I’ve seen video of Ms. Hutchens. The actress who played Mimi on the Drew Carey show would be a better fit, overall.
We are a Jerry Springer Nation.
August 23rd, 2006 at 9:26 pm
My question is, if he did do it, why is he so anxious to get to Colorado? And why confess? It’s been ten years, who knew anything about him? Methinks he’s milking this for all the attention he can get and whatever he can get from book/movie deals.
On the other hand, I believe the Boulder police would have something on him that the public actually doesn’t know. They wouldn’t arrest him on his confession alone, unless they had something on him. I’m very anxious to hear the DNA report. I really hope it is him, just to give that poor little girl justice.
August 23rd, 2006 at 10:37 pm
Hi Jillie,
I’m with you. I hope (pray, have my fingers crossed, the whole bit) that he’s the guy and that Colorado has conclusive evidence — DNA or otherwise. Matt and I might rant about the JBR case, but we never forget that JonBenet was a little girl who was savagely murdered by the lowest form of mankind. We want justice here! And about John Karr? He’s sucking up this attention with a big like a V-8 -powered Hoover. His whole life was about getting attention and having his twisted needs met. I would never want to read HIS book or see HIS authorized movie. Talk about garbage!
But the unauthorized movie? I’ll watch that and with casting as suggested by Miss James…sounds like a winner. Lifetime — Your movie’s on.
August 24th, 2006 at 5:20 am
M and G, you guys are killing me here. It’s nice to have a little comic relief with the subject of Karr.
Anyways, thanks for all the updates. I’ve really stopped watching the news and have just stuck to coming here and to Steve Huff’s blog for my information. Great job guys!

I have been wondering all day if
Wendy looked like morgan fairchild with the voice of cher (and all of her teeth) would people take what she is saying more seriously?
LOL
You guys rock!
I stopped by your pad after Steve’s kudos on you both and links to your house from his house at crimeblog.
I like it a lot!
You guys are funny, politically incorrect (as a military spouse I love and need that), AND JUST FREAKING REFRESHING.
and you know, in spite of your witty sarcasm you actually make more sense than all of the talking heads put together!
After payday I am going to paypal Steve and order your books.
and Steve…..I agree about the drew carry show Mimi casting for the movie! LOL but….minus the bow and bright clothes….instead have Mimi wear a marlboro shirt, acid washed jeans, and a mullet hair do
…..

Becky:
You get us, we love that. You’re funny. We love that, too. A lot people coming to Crme Rant, in fact, get that we need to inject some humor into this freak show in order to keep it interesting. It has gotten out of hand, we all know that. Thanks for posting, please continue to.
While I’m at it … might as well pass along what we’ve heard so far this morning:
Sonoma law enforcement now say they had Karr on radar in 2001, but had no evidence he murdered JBR.
Yada. Yada. Yada.
Then there’s another former classmate of Karr’s speaking out–not the babysitter hiding in shadow (how funny was that?) on the Today Show. This new one, Janna Jones, is saying she’s not surprised by Karr’s confession and that he was obsessed with the spotlight.
Who really cares? Jones is just another one in a long line doing what she is actually accusing Karr of!! Huh.
August 24th, 2006 at 7:24 am
On her show yesterday (or perhaps the day before) Nancy Grace stated that the Hutchins woman turned over only 1 hrs. worth of the tapes, saying she wanted to be paid for additional releases, and MSNBC refused. What gets me though, is Hutchins stated that the police gave her the equipment to record the conversations, so technically, aren’t the tapes actually the property of law enforcement, and if not, can she actually face charges for breaking wire-tap charges?? Why doesn’t law enforcement, or Boulder district atty. demand those tapes?? Just more questions………
August 24th, 2006 at 8:04 am
Deb,
Similar kind of thing was in the news today and perhaps it helps understand this taped phonecall thing……what happened in a nutshell was that a cop was asked to take photos at ground zero…but in between doing his assigned duties and only if he used his own equipment, paid for film and developing, etc.
So years later the guy writes a book and puts the pictures in there and now is being told they are police property.
Maybe Wendy just isn’t to that point yet of having the cops take back the tapes (or HER copies of them….). She sold an hour to abc news. That doesn’t necessarily mean that LE doesn’t have all 20 hours of the tapes. Maybe LE is holding them for evidence and not telling every human being on planet earth until after they can be used in the correct way and released in the correct way thru a court of law.
If this chic could have sold more of these tapes you know she would have. I bet it was not due to the fact that networks didn’t want to pay. I bet they had a big thumb on the wallet and drooling on the floor for just another hour of pants-pulled-up-too-high-boy-Karr.
in fact….what IS up with his pants???? (actually they were up too far
August 24th, 2006 at 8:11 am
Too bad greed and poor taste aren’t against the law.
August 24th, 2006 at 12:26 pm
From the Eastcoast, the latest: 3:22 PM
Rocky Mountain news and MSNBC are reporting that a plane is on the tarmac in Cali to pick up the freakshow … while …
People magazine will quote Karr telling Thai officials, \\\”The DNA might not match, but you can\\\’t trust the test.\\\”
And …
Yahoo is reporting that search activity began to \\\”heat up on August 18 and 19,\\\” pushing searches for JBR far ahead of web celebs Angelina Jolie and Lindsay Lohan. But here\\\’s the dish, and perhaps more evidence re: why westerners are hated: Although search interest for JBR is hot, JBR searches have not yet passed web darlings Pam Anderson and Paris Hilton.
August 24th, 2006 at 12:43 pm
I didn’t know Pam and Paris needed to be searched for. Last time I checked they were crammed down our throats non-stop.

One more item …
Crime rant has an exclusive guest blog on its way soon about Professor Michael Tracey, the missing, silent John Karr link.
Stay tuned … this’ll be good.

I found something a minute ago about Karr having a day care license in Alabama from 97-99 in his home
Oh dang!
I just got a Mister Rogers’ sweater-sanbox-trolly vision!
anyhow, it is toward the end of the article…

**********************
WoW Matt…didn’t know you were so “touchy” when it came to Twitty…geesh!
I have to AGREE with Gregg here; Twitty is NOT above anyone, although she and a select few [including THAT TWIT-GRETA] may THINK that…she isn’t.
Anytime you OPEN yourself up by going public [regardless of the reason] you subject yourself to others opinions good or bad.
It comes with the territory….YOU should know that.
Public figures, popular personalities, politicians, civil servants, authors, movie stars and others [of which Twitty falls under] are open-season for anyone…[except maybe that twit Greta]…
Natalie isn’t the ONLY girl missing and or presumed done wrong by many, although some reporters and her family would like you to think that…THERE ARE OTHERS who are equally as important and missed just AS much, where is THEIR airtime?!
Where Twitty is concerned, I say ENOUGH ALREADY!
That’s about as much passion as that story will garner out of me, I’ve been “Aruba-ed-to-death”!!

I think Karr just wants the taxpayers of Colorado to pay for his sex change operation…maybe he figures by the time this actually goes to trial he’ll look just lovely on the stand!!! The way things go these days I am sure that he would be entitled to that or somehow we would be violating his friggin civil rights…
August 26th, 2006 at 2:17 pm
Laurie makes an interesting point here. If John Karr has already begun his sex change (even just the hormones), the state (that means taxpayers!)will be on the hook for keeping him in meds. At least, that has been the case here in Washington.
