im not going to cast my lot with this guy until i find if the dna evidence matches him.
TOO many people confess to murders and crimes just so their names can be forever connected to the case in perpetuity. when i heard about him doing research on the case and obsessing about it and doing papers for it in college, that made my ears perk up and made me go "errr?"
after reading that encyclopedia of serial killers, i think its given me a bit of insight. one woman fell in love with a murderer in prison (i believe it was one of the hillside stranglers), and she devised a plot to kill a woman in his M.O. to make it look like the killer was still loose. she bungled the murder and is in prison herself for attempted murder.
i wouldnt put it past this guy to have confessed just to get his name as a footnote in relation to this case.
i reserve my judgment until further investigation.
So ten years later some guy with NO connection to the family, who didn't even LIVE in the same state, who is now living in Thailand just decides one day to up and confess?
Who also lived in ATL where they used to live, then in CO where they moved. Who worked as a primary school teacher with outstanding child pornography charges here in the States.
