I dunno, it all seems a little odd, but I guess we'll see more once the facts come out.

My question is, what was he doing with the Thai police anyway - did he go to them to confess to the crime, or did the confession come out after they had already picked him up for doing something illegal in thailand? After reading a couple of the articles linked from the post that Zoey made, especially about his picking up teens and such, i wonder if he wasn't picked up by the Thai police for something similar over there - and just decided that a prison in the US would be better than a prison in Thailand? So, confess to a high profilie crime he didn't commit, to get his 15-mins-of-fame and get extradited to the US.

I dunno... it's all really sad anyway, especially if this guy was picking up teens, and going to be teaching grade 2 level kids
