Because (at least by my reading of the article) the only evidence that such a thing ever happened is the claim of some police investigators that she confessed to them. No written confession, no recorded confession, nor even any contemporaneous notes of the confession by the investigators in question.

Do you think that investigators' recollections of a confession should be admitted as evidence when not backed up by even contemporaneous notes regarding what the suspect supposedly said?
