I agree, it's over, legally and factually.
It may be over legally (for the main parties invloved) but I don't think it's close to being over factually. There's a lot of information we don't know. DH's confession did not paint a completely comprehensive picture, although he may have provided a more lengthy account the previous day to LE. There are 1,000 questions that could be asked regarding his background, events leading up to the crime, the crime itself, and both the immediate aftermath and things he did between then and now. We have a lot of answers, but it's still a murky pool.
Is there a benefit to a profiler talking to him in the next few years? Is there more information that could be extracted that the family might want to know? Afterall, the car ride from the abduction spot to Paynseville was 45 minutes. Patty has expressed a great desire to know all the words Jacob said. Did they not exchange anything past the few remarks already described by DH in that drive? Would he even tell the truth about it if he was questioned further? Was he being completely honest in what he's already said? Jared himself caught him in an inconsitency regarding his assault, which could have been things being remembered differently, or it could have been an indication that DH was either modifying the truth or just mixing things up.
I'm not saying that we will ever know all of these things (or any of these things), or even that we need to, but they remain nonetheless.
