The problem with a 10 year old case like this is what exactly is there that "only the killer" could know. For one thing they really mean "only the killer and the cops" because if the cops didn't know it then how can they know it's true when the confessed killer says it. For another lots and lots of cops have been on this case for various lengths of time and at least some of them (by pure statistical reality of how people are) have blabbed something they probably shouldn't have. I certainly hope that he's the guy and they've got enough evidence and he fries, but the whole Alabama thing makes me think it's probably none of the above.

Very wierd.....I'm not thinking he did it.....but WHY would anyone do THIS?? Guy on another thread had a very plausible idea: you're a pedophile in a Thai jail. Not liking the idea of spending years in a Third World jail, you make up a story so you can be extradited to the US.

I rush to cynical judgement, because that's usually the shortest route to the truth ;)

I am starting to have some doubts. He is probably mentally ill.

It is all very strange, but we don't know what evidence has been withheld in the case.

Investigators should give him a polygraph test administered by the FBI. Even though its not admissible in court, its still very accurate and it can give investigators a picture whether he is telling the truth or not.

No disrespect, just have no confidence in polygraphs.

Polygraph exams are used by the CIA and the FBI to look for spies. Even though it is not a "flawless", to does give an indication whether he is telling the truth. Remember, OJ Simpson was given a polygraph exam and he flunked it but that was not allowed in court.

If administered by a professional law enforcement official trained in using polygraphs they can be helpful. Polygraphs are used by law enforcement and corporations every day somewhere in the USA.

There are three primary problems with a polygraph:
1 truly skilled liars that can keep an even keel can beat them
2 truly delusional people that think they're telling the truth won't cause it to tick
3 people that are scared about the fact that they're even facing a polygraph will fail them miserably when simply giving their name and DOB
They really aren't that useful.

Its better than the other option: Sodium Pentathol which can lead to severe after effects.
