Some are too old to validate anymore. Some, he was unable to recall specific details. And I think if somebody can provide information details about a murder 30 years ago after confirming killing 60 to 70 other people, it's not likely that they are making it up.

Still, confirmation is a little more credible, no? Wasn't trying to one up you or something. Just thought it was worth noting

Besides, there have been many killers of various kinds that admit to more murders than they're responsible for. Henry Lee Lucas comes to mind.

You're not wrong. Accuracy in todays media climate is important. And this is vague information. I appreciate your feedback and candor
