Pure sensationalism.

Karr can't be trusted to say anything even resembling the truth. He truly does have some mental issues. Ok, so he has a lot.

Or, he's the smartest pedophile/murderer in the world, and actually did kill that little girl. Didn't leave ANY DNA evidence (or actually collected someone else's DNA evidence and left it at the scene), and now has been ruled out as a suspect. And, labeled a "wacko" to boot.

A writer's mind thinks about these kinds of possiblities. It's plausable.
