Sure they are gonna ''claim'' mental illness. I don't believe he is suicidal either.

There is a good chance this guy did not do this. Crazy people confess to crimes all the time / every time there is a crime they come out of the wood work convinced that they did it. Unless this guy can tell where the body is or give other
...
information only the killer would know then he didn't do it. This is a very dangerous situation for the crazy man because some jack ass prosecutor may want to make a name for himself by setting this guy up.

Put him in a jail cell with the worst of the worst and let them take care of him. That way we don't have to worry about him killing himself.

Yes the US judicial system has its process. But I agree with all the former comments. Of course he's mentally ill. And sad as it is. If he is suicidal. Have at it dude. It saves us time and money. That little boy suffered as did his parents. My heart truly goes out to them.

yes, of course... he may have made the story up... in these days of financial insecurity he may have decided that prison does hold a kind of security... housing, utilities and groceries may be more than he can afford on his own.

This man IS mentally ill- and may have made this confession up due to some type of "obsession" or "Fascination" with the case, and may have fantasized the entire thing...

I agree that police is going to try to corroborate the suspect's story. For all we know he could be just someone with severe schizophrenia. Shame on those calling for his immediate death. We need to let the legal system do its job.

No matter what his mental illness is, if convicted of murder, he should be destroyed. I am so sick of lawyers using mental illness as a grounds of defense. Commit people BEFORE they kill. Once a life is taken, there should be no excuses for the killer.

The man that killed about 77 people some where in Europe was claim to be mentally ill. The man that kill the young precious boy 33 years ago is now said to be mentally unstable. Is this another way of subverting justies? Over the years so m
...
any hardcore criminals escaped justies because of this crazy idea of mental illness. The subsequently end up in mental institutions where after a little while, breakout and escape to commit more terrible crimes. This nonsence has to stop with emmidiate effect. Murder is a very serious crime. Justies must take its cause and people arrested must be tried and if found guilty made to face the full wrath of the law crazzy, mentally ill or not!

I'm so tired of the news media dragging out a news story while avoiding to report other IMPORTANT news like the recent vote by the senate that gives the FDA the right to raid small farmers, food stores and anyone selling produce. The bill g

ives the FDA freedom to go ARMED in these raids. Enough is enough. Report the important news. I know, I know this story is important, but all news media avoid certain news stories and drag others out for weeks, months and years. Give the news of how the Senate and Congress are destroying our rights!!!

I have serious doubts about his guilt as well. If he has a history of schizophrenia then anything he confesses to must be suspect. There are some things that just on the surface just do not add up. Firstly there is the contention that this
...
guy was not known to the police when he claims that he worked in the neighborhood just down the street from the little boys house. Surely if he was working there at the time of the disappearance he would have been questioned. Secondly he says he put the child in the garbage. Where? Wouldn't you think that all of the garbage containers in the area would have been searched? And last, and most importantly, for me at least, he has apparently NEVER been violent or in trouble in the years since. I find that more telling than any of the other discrepancies in his story.-----There were several children that came up missing, just gone, apparently plucked from the street in the NYC area in the years just prior to and for about a decade after the abduction of Etan. Some of them have been highlighted in the documentary Cropsy. Although the State has convicted another mentally ill man for a couple of those crimes there was NO evidence that actually connected him to them, other than proximity and some pretty shaky eye witness testimony.-----Personally I applaud the PD for taking things slowly. (There was another man who was a suspect who actually went on to be convicted of a similar crime.) There seem to be a good many questions still to be answered.

Does anyone consider maybe he isn't the one who killed this little boy? Does he have the information that only the police know? There are a lot of questions that could be asked to find out and then go from there.

cold cases CAN be solved....We have to Hope... I girl here in Milwaukee was abducted and murdered in the early 70's..Me and my sister knew the little girl Donna and her older sister Eileen babysat us. A year or so ago, the Cold Case detect
...
ives were opening the case back up. I pray they find this monster who did this horrific thing.. I remember that being a turning point in my life. The police came to our house early one morning asking if we had seen Donna. They were canvassing the area. She was found later in a garbage can about a mile or so from where she was abducted. I was in second grade so I was around 6 or 7. I remember being scared after that.... God Bless all cold case detectives...
