The thing with false confessions is that they're usually one of two things :
1) beaten/psychologically torn out of people by over-zealous local cops looking for a conviction.
2) made by people with psychological problems seeking attention by connecting themselves to a notorious crime.
This case of a drifter arrested in Oregon just deciding to blab in great detail and specifics about a mostly-forgotten murder committed in Kentucky years earlier doesn't appear to fall into either group and I find it hard to discount. But who knows.
