This confession was hidden from jurors, and the public, by agreement of both the prosecution and defense. If you watch it you will see why they needed to hide it.
This person sure did look guilty if you looked at all of the Utah newspapers and TV stations about the murder.
But if you look a little further you learn that all of the newspapers and TV stations told the public only what the police and FBI and prosecutor wanted the public to hear and see.
Even today nobody in Utah media or government will discuss his case publicly.
Every single piece of evidence in the case was either altered or falsified or hidden, by police, FBI agents, forensic lab directors, prosecutors.
If you have a question about a specific piece of evidence in the case ask a question about it in comments below.

After a young Burmese girl disappeared in Salt Lake City, Utah, the FBI thought they knew where she was.
They sent 50+ agents and other officers to saturate the neighborhood of Cottonwood Heights and prepare for a dramatic rescue.
Many hours later they suddenly realized they were wrong and she had been at South Park Apartments the whole time.
Worse, at the autopsy they realized that she had been alive while they were arranging a dramatic rescue several miles away.
The FBI made some understandable mistakes.
But then they carefully arranged to help prosecutors convict a person they knew was not guilty so their mistakes would not become public.
Esar Met is still in prison.

Mikal Wersland was the SSLPD officer who served as liaison with the FBI in this case, as discussed and documented in other audio and videos. He was the person most aware of what the FBI did.
Still there is enough evidence to piece together the details.
The implication is not that there is evidence that anybody from the FBI, or any other agency, was involved in his death.
But it is likely that the stress of what the FBI agents asked him to do may have created stress that contributed to his death, at least.

In 1936 the United States Supreme court decided that it was no longer legal to torture prisoners to get confessions.
Since then various dubious groups and individuals have sprung up with different ways to get confessions, and most law enforcement agencies in the United States use one or more of these dubious techniques instead of simple honest interviews.
The result is a lot of false confessions like the one in this video.
Any person with better video and marketing skills is welcome to make a better video on this case or a podcast using the material collected. Most of the salacious material has been used to try to attract attention but there are many new avenues a person could cover. Material at is available to anybody.
