Another thing that has been bothering me...when LE came to take GG to the police station why did his mother not go with him? In her eyes he was a minor. And also, there was no request for a lawyer, correct? I am wondering if his family knew he was involved in this crime (at that point) and he had agreed to go and confess. Is it unusual for the parents to not go with the suspect if they are a minor?
It's possible it was his choice not to have her there.
