"People confess to crimes they didn't commit all the time. They want the notariety.
So far, there is no compelling evidence that this guy did it."
This is what I'm wondering too. But obviously the authorities involved know that. They must have more on him.
The statement out of the DA's office seemed they are convinced that this is their man.

Maybe they want to get him back in the US to face the child pornography charges in California. THis whole thing doesn't make sense. My brain cannot get past Patsy's handwriting and style in the ransom note.
The first thing they have on him is that he is a fugative from justice. He never shouwed up in court on his 2001 child porn case. From that point onward he was on the lam and running from the authorities.
THAT is why he is being held in Thailand.
