If he knew everything LE wanted to know wouldn’t that imply he was BG because how else would he know?
Also, what about Abby’s and Libby’s families? When it became too much for them was he willing to make the same decision to spare them the grief, pain and need for full answers and closure? It has been 7 years, they lost their beloved daughters, granddaughters, sisters, friends and future dreams and hopes surrounding them. They’re done forever. No parent or grandparent should have to bury a child. Could he not see their murders and subsequent grief as something too much to handle, to suffer or was inconsequential? He could empathize with his wife but not them?
Why is he putting decision making power on his wife? He didn’t need her permission or authority to commit the crime. But now he is putting the decision on taking responsibility and accountability on her? It likes he wants her to bare part of the burden of the consequences and accountability for his crimes even if she did not commit them nor was involved. If I was his wife I would say screw that. You didn’t need me to commit this evil act. He wasn’t thinking about her, her community, Libby, Abby, their friends and family who are part of it when he brutally murdered them and caused widespread grief, terror and mistrust throughout Delphi. It was his commanding voice, not hers, that ordered them against their will down the hill so why not use that same atrocious commanding persona he had then to do something so atrocious to confess to LE and the legal parties involved everything he knows and has done? If he doesn’t fully confess he rather put the fault on his wife than his own fault. Her approval was not his end all be all with power over him. Just look at the decisions he made and crimes and horror he committed without it or her awareness?
I always thought early on when the BG video was first aired how rude it seemed just for him to be walking across the bridge knowing that Abby and Libby have to walk back across. Like seriously dude, the bridge is not going anywhere but they are since they have walk it again. And obviously they are uncomfortable walking past him since they huddle towards the further end of the bridge from him but instead of stopping at the platform so that they could cross he keeps walking. Like what’s the rush? You, unlike Abby, have clearly walked the bridge before based on your steady pace, you are not even walking the view since you barely looked at it so what at the end that you clearly needed to get to? Were there not enough twigs on the other side? Did you think you were going to catch a train while you up there and thought maybe Abby and Libby were somehow at the correct gate? Likely no. Instead IMO, his breach in etiquette, being just the three of them on the walk with two hindered from going across and determined walk to seemingly a dead end helped further raised alarm bells in their head that his target was likely them.
