Deathbed confessions

Thoie

Just reading about the renewed effort in the search for Madeleine McCann, and it reminded me of the recent talks about the women in Ireland who disappeared. In each case someone, somewhere knows what happened, because they were the killer/abductor.

If you had done something like that, would you make some kind of deathbed confession, just to finally give the families of the victims some bit of resolution? What are the reasons not to do so?

Well, I took 10p from my mother's purse when I was 8, but I've already confessed to that one

The best death bed confession is in the sopranos when a certain character finds out his aunt "the nun" is actually his biological mother. So he losses his **** with the women that raised him. Its one of the best episodes.

I assume if you were disturbed enough to abduct and kill children that you'd hardly be consumed with an overwhelming desire to get it off your chest at any stage in your life.

Physco killers probably wouldn't care.

The kind of people who commit those kind of crimes could give a ****e about victims, their families or anyone else IMHO.

On their deathbed I reckon they'd be bothered by their own petty ****.

Garda questioning and/or media attention that might then be brought upon their surviving family especially their children if they have any?

Although that being said, if it happened to be a crime committed by a psychopath maybe they wouldn't care about their own family, and maybe they wouldn't feel any remorse to begin with so the idea of confessing to ease the suffering of a victim's family might not even enter their mind.

A few murderers do seem to have a sudden pang of conscience just as they're about to die.

Not neccesarily true..Donald Gaskins wrote of his crimes whilst on death row.

A little known serial killer he was a thouroughly loathsome individual.
