i personally think the parents have something to do with it. u guys ever noticed after the child got murdered, when they used to interview the moms, she would always refer to her DAUGHTER as THAT child. she would always say, "i loved THAT child". now i asked my girlfriend about that and she thought that wuz strange, she says she would refer to her daughter as MY child, or MY daughter.
this is a strange situation tho. the suspect says he wuz in love with her and unintentional , so wussup with tha ransom note? like said already, i think dude jus wants notariety(sp?). they also said that the "confession" would not hold up in americas court, cuz other countries have different interrogation practices that are different than ours. he also came out after the mother died? fold.
