The biggest or most damning evidence they got on John Mark Karr, is a multiple page stack of e-mails he wrote to that Tracey guy. Basically JMK could not keep quiet forever.

Zoe - DNA tests take days, weeks, or potentially months to come back, and the samples aren't always 100%- the sample taken from the Ramsey crime scene was "saliva mixed with blood," which would involve isolating and splitting out the 2 (or more) DNA samples.
This is classic "CSI Effect" - our expectations have become exaggerated because we're so used to seeing detectives solve crimes on television. If Boulder and Bangkok had the budget that Las Vegas gets in CSI, this crime probably would have been solved eight or nine years ago.

Does anyone see a problem with this. The order should be first fill in the blanks - then arrest.

Why do Sotoma County not have Karr's DNA from 2001, given the nature of his crime there?

He fled just before his court date and was convicted in absentia....
