^^They would still prosecute him for it, but they would not seek the death penalty.

They can also use his mother as a pawn in questioning. They can threaten her with charges related to his housing arrangements or simply use her and the threats she has received as a way to get the information out of him. He may be influenced to disclose to her or LE for her safety as well as...

I still believe 100% that the tip came from Gardner or his Mother. There was definitely some crafty questioning going on.

Are you sure you want to use that as your example? I suggest you read the entire article first.

The point is that he had to get there as well and that he had to drive there. It's not like he dropped the body by helicopter. If he had to pull his vehicle off to the side of the road, someone could have seen it there and even seen something suspicious and their memory was triggered by recent...

They are different types of crimes with very different types of perpetrators. Can you think of any examples of a sexual predator who bragged about his acts? I can't even think of any who worked in teams. If there is any way that someone else who knew came forward the only way I could imagine it...

The body was positively identified as Amber's via dental records.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find that pattern with sexual predators.

He may not have cut a deal, he may have been tricked into disclosure. It defies logic that a previously convicted sex offender would have bragged about his act to anyone. He had too much to lose. There's so many possibilities to this. Images could have been found on the computer and turned over...

They need not have known an exact location, just a general one or a hunch. Pinpointing the exact location is what dogs are for.

That's not something sexual predators usually do. And why on earth would one who had served time and was out on parole do such a thing? He killed his victims so there would be no witnesses to testify against him. He would not solicit witnesses.

We will find he had been there before just as we do in many cases. Maybe he mentioned a place he went to watch a meteor shower, a place he hiked with a girlfriend, somewhere he hunted. Maybe his parents when asked about such areas he might be familiar with, tipped this off. I highly doubt there...

If that's the case, then I believe the info came from JAG and the PI was talking out his rear or that a parent/friend revealed places he liked to hike etc.

I don't believe anyone else helped with this crime and even if they had there are numerous reasons for no arrest.

I don't believe for a second anyone else helped with the crime. The PI's word is not gospel and we need to take it with a grain of salt. If the info didn't come from JAG or from evidence found in searches, my guess is that either his parents revealed possible locations based on places he would...
