    BOULDER, Colorado (AP) -- The Boulder District Attorney's office on Thursday said it spent $23,656 investigating John Mark Karr.

    The tab included nearly $6,000 for business class tickets to fly the former suspect in the JonBenet Ramsey case and an investigator back from Bangkok, Thailand.

    An outline of expenses shows the 15-hour flight from Thailand, on which Karr sipped champagne, dined on fried king prawns and roast duck, cost the county $5,925.

    A message left at District Attorney Mary Lacy's office was not immediately returned.

    The second largest expense in the DA's investigation was $10,010 in hourly wages paid to investigator Mark Spray.

    Karr was cleared last week in the 1996 murder of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey and remained jailed in Boulder, Colorado\, awaiting extradition to California to face child porn charges. A Boulder judge ruled last week that authorities had until Wednesday to return Karr to Sonoma County.

    The prosecutor's office said it has spent $40,755 on the unsolved slaying since taking the case from Boulder police and reopening the investigation in December 2002.

    The figure includes more than $16,000 spent in 2003, when Lacy endorsed a federal judge's declaration that an intruder, not JonBenet's parents, killed the child.

    Yep, good old Boulder...the town which didn't want to spend money investigating the parents of a murdered child but one that had no problem spending over $23,000 on a chump who they knew was innocent.

    A waste for certain! I'm sure the taxpayers are really pleased.

    Apparently, the Boulder taxpayers are content. :confused:

    Maybe they are going to hire the Spirit Evacuator Company to do a clearing out over at the DA's office. Maybe they do this daily for the DA. God knows it stinks like rotten fish over there.

    I thought that there we two I.C.E. agents in Thailand and on the plane trips as well. Am I wrong here? If they WERE involved, then who is picking up the tab for their flights, meals, hotel, land transport, etc?

    Looks like ALL of us may be picking up that part of the tab ... NOT just Boulderites. I'm PI.SSED!!!

    Only from what I heard last week from Peter Boyle, the Ramsey Mtn News depreciated the cost $8k.

    It's especially a waste when you recall that Karr says he has a Lear jet.
