 John Mark Karr says he was with JonBenet when she died |
John Mark Karr, 41, is set to fly directly to Los Angeles, escorted by US security officials, Thai police said.
The six-year-old girl was beaten and strangled in her Colorado home 10 years ago, in a case that gripped America.
Mr Karr has said he was with JonBenet when she died, but insists her death was an accident.
It has emerged that police in America are examining a 1982 yearbook signed by Mr Karr for clues that may link him to the crime.
The yearbook entry ends with Mr Karr saying in block capitals, "Though, deep in the future, maybe I shall be the conquerer [sic] and live in multiple peace", the CNN news website reports.
A ransom note found in the Ramsey home had ended with the word "Victory!" and was signed "S.B.T.C." Investigators want to know if that is shorthand for "shall be the conquerer".
Mr Karr was arrested at an apartment in Bangkok on Wednesday. 
A US arrest warrant charges him with murder, kidnapping and sexual assault of a child.
When asked if he killed JonBenet, he told reporters: "No, I did not. It was an accident."
Mr Karr's ex-wife Lara has since insisted he was with her in Alabama for the entire Christmas period of 1996, when JonBenet died.
JonBenet's family have fought for years to clear their names of persistent accusations of involvement in the death of their daughter.
Her mother, Patsy - who died of cancer this year - had called police on 26 December 1996 to say JonBenet was missing and that there was a ransom note demanding $118,000 (£62,000).
After an initial police search of the home, officers asked her father, John Ramsey, to look again and he found JonBenet's body in the basement.Taken from : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/5266782.stm
I'm disgusted with people like this man, I know here is some presumption of innocence. But in my country holds, that if somebody is charged for somenthing, he did something. It is a question how this could happend, but I can't see way how to forbid this. I think that we can't stop every maniac in this world, but we have to do as possible to try prevent cases like this. It starts by parents, who have to care their children, don't leave them alone! Better prevent than cure.
