Pierce may or may not have taken Janice. To reach a conclusion one way or the other would require in depth research and knowledge of a number of things. Realizing that probably every serial killer is also a very skilled liar is a prerequisite to any thoughts on the matter. Pierce might have been trying to set the record straight by correctly stating that he killed Janice and buried her in a certain location. He might also have been lying for any of a number of reasons. The entire context of his confession or statement would need to be put to the test. How accurate was he on other subjects? Did he actually have knowledge of the crime that was only known to the police? Was his confession coerced? Was it given in hopes of better treatment?
Regardless of who kidnapped Janice, it is very likely that she was killed, and probably buried somewhere close to where she was last seen. What methods were used to search for her grave? Was it simply a shovel test hole or was in ground radar, or magnetic anomaly detection equipment used?
