 |
|
Several recruiters and schools in Korea claim to have recently received resumes and job applications from John Mark Karr. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mark_Karr
One recruiter claimed he did not know who Karr was, but that he sounded "creepy" on the phone.
Just a warning.... |

I call BS on this one. I know, I know: "Why would a recruiter lie about this?"

Albeit, if a recruiter didn't know who this guy was and tried to background check the aforementioned school, the aforementioned school district wouldn't be able to divulge that information due to privacy rights.
Hell, has he even been convicted of anything? If not, he could easily get a job here.
There's a bit of information his Wiki page but didn't find anything that legally stuck against him. |

I haven't read much about the guy, buy hmhb is right, he hasn't been convicted of anything and could be just a strange guy at the wrong place, wrong time. I'm one for "innocent until proven guilty," though. |

I would agree if he were just accused of it. However, he actually confessed to killing the girl and continues to proclaim that he was in fact the killer in many interviews. The prosecutor said that he didn't have enough evidence to convict.
Whether he did it or just wishes he did it, that is one messed up guy you do not want in your country, let alone your kids. |

Well, when you put it that way, if he did confess to killing, then he is guilty or at least self-proclaimed dangerous.
And by the peoples: Wikipedia can be edited by anyone is often factual, but is a collection of "common knowledge" information. Be careful about using it as your only source. In academia, it won't even count as a valid source. |

My company got his resume as well. When asked to produce evidence that he wasn't the John Karr extradited from Thailand, he didn't reply. I'm not 100% it isn't a hoax, but there is indeed someone out there by that name applying to jobs, with a very thorough (albeit strange) resume.
It's true he hasn't been convicted of anything, but the man did publicly confess to killing a child, complete with gory details. I cannot blame anyone for not hiring him. |

| If you saw the LArry King interview with him last year and follow-up interview of the guy who did a psych evaluation of him (or something like that) you'd KNOW that this guy (John Mark Karr) should NEVER be anywhere near a child. Ever. |

Indeed, it is common knowledge (or should be) that wiki is basically user-created, user-edited and regulated... however, this man is not normal... I mean, holy **** this is one far-out weirdo. |

That took integrity!
Ain't much of it around these P.C. boards!
Your courage aside, it is impossible to feel anything for the guy except for revulsion.
