I agree that a confession to anything pertiaining to guilt was false.
But, because he told kayla and kayla told her counselor, I think the body parts in the fire is true. That gets mentioned in the interviews. I think it's truth. I don't think it's has to be completely all horseshit or not. 99.9% false is my opinion. He's innocent because he didn't know he was cleaning up a body or burning a body until he was already doing it.

KA's Testimony Transcript:
Fallon: Good morning. How old are you, Kayla?
Kayla: Fifteen.
Fallon: And how are you related to Brendan?
Kayla: We're first cousins. My dad is Barbara's brother, and Brendan's Barbara's son.
Fallon: OK, very good. I want to direct your attention to a time in December of 2005. Did you have a conversation with Brendan about Teresa Halbach?
Kayla: Kinda, yeah.
Fallon: All right. Would you tell us about that conversation with Brendan?
Kayla: Well, um... Well, not in December, in November.
Fallon: OK. Tell us about it.
Kayla: In November, um, we were having a birthday party. He was sitting in our hallway and, um, he was just sitting there. One of my friends looked out the door and seen him crying and then she came to me and then I went out there by him and I asked him what was wrong, and all he did is shrugged his shoulders.
Fallon: OK. And then what did you ask?
Kayla: And then I asked him if it was about the Steven thing. And then he just shrugged his shoulders and I was like... And then I was like, "You know you can talk to me," and then I just went back inside my room.
Fallon: Tell us about the conversation you had with Brendan regarding Steven.
Kayla: We didn't have a conversation about it.
Fallon: Didn't you tell your counselors at school about a conversation you had with Brendan?
Kayla: Yeah.
Fallon: All right. And you told Officers Wiegert and Fassbender about that conversation as well, right? These two guys right here? You recognize those two guys?
Kayla: Yeah? Yes.
Fallon: That's... OK. You told them about a conversation you had with Brendan about that bonfire and what was in the bonfire. Tell us about that.
Kayla: I really don't remember.
Fallon: All right. Now Kayla, did you give the officers a statement?
Kayla: Uh, yeah.
Fallon: All right. Kayla, I'm showing you what has been marked for identification as this exhibit 163. Would you hold that for me, please?
All right. I'm gonna take my seat here and ask you questions. And is that the statement that you gave to Officers Fassbender and Wiegert?
Kayla: Yes.
Fallon: All right. Does reviewing that statement help you remember?
Kayla: Yes.
Fallon: All right. What did Brendan tell you about the fire? You'll have to pull the microphone a little closer so we can hear you.
Kayla: He didn't tell me anything. I... I kind of made up the statement and I'm sorry.
Fallon: All right. What did you make up? Tell us what you're saying you made up.
Kayla: That he'd seen body parts in there. I didn't... He didn't see... I didn't... He didn't tell me anything like that or he didn't see Teresa's body or anything like that.
Fallon: And you also told the officers in a separate conversation that day that Brendan had seen Teresa alive in Steven's trailer and that she was pinned up in a chair.
Kayla: Yes, but that's not true.
Fallon: All right. So you're telling us you made something up to get Brendan into trouble?
Kayla: Not really. I was just really confused about everything.
Fallon: No further questions for this witness.
