I went to see Margos, the owner of the hostel, the other day and she confirmed my suspicions. Yes, the killer stayed at Taiwanmex. She hadn't heard about the events so she was pretty freaked out when I showed her his picture on the 'net.
She told me she thought he was a little odd, too. She said he tried to bum money off of her for a plane ticket to Bangkok...
Let's hope this animal spends the rest of his days in prison.

My Brush With A Murderer
I barely slept last night. Late last night, the news began showing pictures of the guy who has been arrested for the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. I clicked on the news story on Google and almost fell out of my chair!!
When I first got to Taiwan, I stayed at a hostel. Great place, very homey and perfectly located in the city. The owners, Margos and Raul, are like family to me. During my stay there I had many opportunities to meet all kinds of folks from all over the world. One of the people I hung out with for a few weeks was a quiet guy from the US who was looking to start a teaching career here. He went out with the group several times for dinner, shopping, etc. He was a bit odd, but nice enough. You meet all kinds of people when you travel overseas, they all seem to have their little quirks...his name was John!
It's the guy who killed JonBenet!!!
I am freaking out! I had quite a few interesting conversations with him. The first time I met him he was wearing a t-shirt from Honduras, so naturally we spoke for a long time about Hondu. He mentioned he had worked there, I immediately felt a connection because of my time there...HOW SCARY!
He spent about a month at the hostel and then just disappeared. Margos said he decided to head to Malaysia and just took off with little notice. I hope it wasn't because he had done something evil here and needed to get out...
Honestly, none of us had a clue he was such an animal. He just seemed kinda quiet and not the most socially adept guy. It's not like he had "murderer" written on his forehead.
One thing I do remember vividly about him is his computer knowledge. He cleaned up the computers at the hostel and they ran better than they ever had before.
I'm heading to the hostel today to talk to Margos about this craziness...stay tuned.
p.s. Oddly enough, I am heading to Bangkok tonight for the weekend. The very city where they captured the guy...CREEPY!
