The burglars promptly squandered the fortune, leaving virtually nothing for federal agents to repossess four years later. Karr, who spent time in Illinois prisons for crimes including aggravated kidnapping and armed robbery, is the only suspect charged in the disappearance. Karr's fiance said prosecutors are using the Michigan handyman to get to Waters. They just want David Waters. Waters has denied killing the O'Hairs.
Prosecutors say the investigation is continuing.
They will likely use the testimony of Waters' former girlfriend, Patti Jo Steffens, who told investigators that Waters was obsessed with the O'Hairs. Prison inmates to whom Karr allegedly made incriminating statements also will take the stand. But Karr has pleaded not guilty. Yes, Karr knew the O'Hairs, said Tom Mills, Karr's attorney. Yes, he was with them in San Antonio.
