He's lying. This whole thing is going to fall apart within days and the Colorado DA knows it.
The one thing that makes me think he might be the one is, he (allegedly) wrote details in his letter to the Ramseys, that no one other than the PD and DA were privy to.
However, his story is getting weirder and sicker by the minute...
My friend thinks that he's purposely lying just enough for a good lawyer to get him acquitted.
I give the Colorado DA a lot of credit for not jumping to a conclusion and looking askance at this confession.
Yes, and the Boulder authorities are going to look even more incompetent. It'll be interesting to hear the spin as they try to extricate themselves from this mess.
First thing occurred to me was, Thailand, language and culture barrier (I don't care how good your translator is), so the "confession details" and their points, ie pick up from school, drugged etc, didn't faze me. I think he did it. I think we try and apply "normal" thinking when talking about this kind of personality and you can't. By the way, I can't remember Christmas 1996, and in a family where there are divorces, multiples marriages, cross country moves, I think one would find it hard to remember details of a holiday ten years old. Also, I have flown on Christmas Day. Would'nt it be possible to fly out of Ala, land in Boulder (Denver) and do this terrible thing and get out of town? This guy likes his frequent flyer miles. I also think the teddy bear and STBC are significant. As far as his connections to the Ramsey's, also very possible. He could have been a tutor for them or someone close to them.
