The full 30 minute video is now posted legitimately on WAVY. It's a goldmine IMO. Have at it guys:

I mean, unarmed bank robbery - it’s nothing violent. Well, it’s violent but it’s the least form of violence. I mean just, uh, forgery, uttery (?), I mean… B&E here and there. You know, kid stuff.
Allegedly someone called in about a tip beforehand and that information was never verified. That person did not get a call back. The person reached me through ulterior motive, uh, a different avenue... and the cops were very pissed because I had a secondary cell phone. They think I have something to hide, but I lost it [unintelligible]. I have asked questions, I've talked with people, I've gained information and... my whole disposition on this from the beginning, I told the police was that if I found out who was responsible I'd deal with it in my own way. I don't think I have shied from that one bit.
But they tried to say last night that basically I was going to lead the search and then somebody’s just gonna stumble over a body and “Oop, there he is! He found something else!” You know what I'm saying?
JF: Was anybody with you?
WH: No sir
JF: Did you take anything?
WH: No sir
JF: Did you punch a dog?
WH: Maybe... *nods*
JF: Did you punch a dog?
WH: Yes, sir. It was a big dog.
JF: You punched it in the face?
WH: Nah, in the head…just reaction.
Again, here is a link to a transcription of the 30 mins of raw footage that WAVY released.
Worth reading every word TBH. I've been dying to talk to y'all about this since yesterday.
I can't see this guy being able to imitate a smart college student via text...but jmo...
You really can't rely on either being true. While I believe there is no video they might have been testing for a truthful reaction. In the latter they could have been testing for a truthful denial, just pressing him for a confession, or something else..Police say that they reviewed gas station video and did not see WH on it. Police also say her phone pinged at his hotel room.
That video is great.
WH says something like he's not surprised the kids said something if the police questioned them as harshly as they questioned him. What kids? and what did they say?
If you are watching the 30min interview, please take notice of his body language when he says "I have hope" referring to whether AJ is still alive or not. It's frightening, but look at his body language. It is very apparent that he is nervous/hiding something. (SCRATCHING)
Just want to say that I marked all of his movements in my transcript so even if you don't watch it you can still get those details
You really can't rely on either being true. While I believe there is no video they might have been testing for a truthful reaction. In the latter they could have been testing for a truthful denial, just pressing him for a confession, or something else.
Even if they knew he wasn't involved, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get it into his skull how he can easily be setting himself up as a prime suspect.
I also believe that WH is greatly exagerrating the 15 hours. I can see him lawyering up within minutes.
Another interesting angle you bring up. Yes, what if she was wanting to take off, upset at mom or whatever. Maybe not even a permanent thing but being Spring Break, if she was fed up she thought it was a good time to escape for a while. So she gets a bag together, calls Wes, asks for money. Says she's annoyed at home, knows he can relate because after all he is out of the house as well. He lends her a sympathetic ear and says, "Sure, I can give you some cash, you can take off for a while and I'll keep quiet, you can count on me." She meets up with him, and things do not go as she expected.
Although I must say that if I were taking off on a lark, I wouldn't pack stuff like a knee brace and sports bras. But it's a thought.
"It's violent, but the least form of violent" - WH via interview referring to his past.
So assault/rape...least form of violent too?
But, uh, also the person that came out, a person came out of a house and I had spoken with them and the cops spoke with them, I do believe. I asked him had he seen anything lately, any vehicles suspicious... whatever, hunting, fishing, whatever... I don’t think there's any water out there but it’s the woods, you know?
JF: So, you find the jacket in the couch, you pull it out. Do you take it with you?
WH: No sir.
JF: You left it there? You tucked it back in?
WH: I left it beside the couch, I couldn’t put it back. I couldn’t put it back.
JF: You didn’t think to just call police right then? Like “my daughters jacket is here!”
WH: I thought a lot of things. Actually I didn’t think to call police once. Actually I thought to uh get a gun… discharge a gun. End of story. That’s what I thought. That’s what I wanted to do. That’s what I felt like doing.
JF: But you didn’t know at that point.
WH: I still didn’t know. But I asked my wife, in confidence, as well if I can make that sacrifice *crying* and once I know that I can make that sacrifice.. I’d give up my life for my daughter. But yet the police think that I hurt her.
