I think that yes, it MOST likely conveys some sort of guilt.
But it is not a guarantee, IMO. It's easy for me to say what I would do in this situation. But I am not a 32 year old black male who was the last person seen with a missing 18 year old white college student. I think that innocent people have been convicted many times, and that JM (IF innocent) could just be in an absolute panic. I'm not saying this is the case--but I can't rule it out at this point.
If he IS innocent, but knows nothing about what happened to HG, he may think that he has everything to lose without anything to offer.

First time posting on this thread. Observations on my part. 1) Longo may be emotional because he is privy to much more info than we are and he's trying to not tip the POI off. 2) I read somewhere, and I'm looking for the link now, that JM's grandmother recognized him in the video, maybe he went to the police department requesting an attorney to appease his family and friends. I don't know if he is guilty or not, but his actions since that day are indicating he's involved in some way. Hypothetically speaking, a guilty person could be trying to keep it together until they realized that it was futile, then panic and run. If I were not involved, and I saw that video of myself all over tv and knew LE was looking for me and wanted to talk to me, I would be spilling everything I knew to help in any way I could.
