In court papers, prosecutors said Karr began exchanging e-mails with professor Michael Tracey in 2002, signing them “D” and later “Daxis.” The meaning of “Daxis” was not immediately clear. At first, Karr seemed to be just someone with an intense interest in the case, but he soon claimed re- sponsibility for the crime, and pro- vided more and more detail about that night, according to court pa- pers. He claimed that he acciden- tally killed JonBenet during sexual activity that included temporarily asphyxiating her, prosecutors said. He began telling his story in hopes of being included in a book Tracey was planning to publish, according to the court papers.
