That's what someone told me...he was busted in Thailand for something else and would rather go to jail here.
I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to confess to something that he or she didn't do. However, in spite of me believing in the better side of humanity, there are idiots everywhere. And I say that if anyone confesses to a crime that they didn't do, then they deserve whatever they have coming.
It is possible that he's just insane. His ex-wife is claiming that he was with her the night of the murder and that he was wildly obsessed with the story afterwards. Weird, though...especially how people will confess to crimes they didn't commit. Even ones so gruesome as child molestation AND murder.
Again, here's a quote straight from a news article regarding his whereabouts at the time of his arrest As I stated earlier, I can't think of anybody that would rather be in a foreign prison over a prison in the United States.
I figured from the beginning that he was generating some hype for a book release and sure enough I saw him on this Keith Ablov show and he had one sure enough. I was in Boulder when all that happened 10 yrs ago and it really seemed to point to the family; back then I remember the father was saying that there was a writer working on an alternative story...
