And if the farmland was so expansive, just because she was found there, it would not automatically make him guilty. I’m thinking the detectives did an excellent job convincing Quake that they had evidence that he was guilty and that by confessing, it would spare him a harsher punishment. With Sydney’s Apple Watch and advancing technology, they very may well have had something to go on. I’ll be interested to hear how the confession and discovery of the body specifically came about.
He buried Sydney on his farmland. Im wondering what made him confess because if this wasn't his first time, why confess now? Jmo
Let's close our eyes to anything seen/read on social media for a moment and look at only the facts of this case as they've been confirmed:
We know that SS disappeared on 8/19 around 3 pm.
We also know that LE recovered SM's body Friday, 8/21 around 2 pm.
The location and ownership of the property where SS's body was recovered have not been confirmed.
On Friday, we also learned from the Sheriff that a
suspect was in custody who was familiar to the victim.
There's no evidence that QL blindly "confessed" to murdering SS.
What I see here is a man that was
taken into custody on Friday for questioning, possibly before if not after SS body was located.
What's most important here is that Sheriff Lucas, the authority over this investigation, did not officially announce the arrest of QL until Sunday, 8/23, around 3 pm.
Sheriff Lucas didn't delay this announcement to toy with the family or the public, he made this announcement when he had the legal authority to do so.
IMO, I think QL admitted to his evil deed when he was faced with the evidence against him. QL was in police custody, they probably showed him photos of SS corpse, told him they had his DNA, the stack was getting higher and higher.
I think it's safe to state authorities did not have a signed statement from QL, admitting to what was presented in court, until Sunday when Sherriff Lucas announced the arrest of QL for the murder of SS.
Just as Sheriff Lucas reacted on Friday when he reportedly contacted Region 8 News to confirm that he did not and had not confirmed the body recovered to be SS, he told us this case is personal. Sheriff Lucas told Region 8 News that it was too early [for the body] to be confirmed -
doesn't want to make any mistakes in this investigation.
Absolutely nobody wants QL to catch a break on a technicality.
MOO

Despite reporting from Little Rock, Sheriff Lucas called Region 8 to confirm that he did not and has not confirmed the body they found is Sutherlands. He said it's too early to be confirmed - doesn't want to make any mistakes in this investigation.
