      That is beyond easy to explain. Far too many "pastors" are hired not because they clearly have the Spirit of God in their lives, but because they have "the right education/lingo/denomination/"experience from another church"/"reputation in the community"/so forth. Most Denominational churches only care about appearance (both external and superficial stuff), and never really focus on little details. That is the reason why the churches that rarely if ever have that happen are the ones who have very minute/minuscule to absolutely no "obligation to the large organization first" mindset.
      *_The perfect example of why that is good is in seeing the most easily thought of proof the reverse is a huge part of the problem: The Roman Catholic Church!! That is the extreme, yes.. but it is the most immediate to define showcase of how internal politics, outward appearance, and "what is best for everyone.. even the pervert himself/herself..." come together to deny the victims any real justice._*

Only in hindsight can you conclude someone's reactions equate to a guilty conscious or not. False confessions are just an example of such things. Same as how people react to horrible news differently.

      @@NightShooter87 It’s been a long time since I originally saw this case so I don’t remember all the details and would encourage you to do your own research. There was a mountain of circumstantial evidence against him and I definitely don’t recall all of it but a few highlights were that despite his claims here, he actually didn’t have an alibi, and his trip to CA was most definitely not planned ahead of time. His wife had already shipped Xmas presents to his family and his family was shocked and confused when they showed up. He also had been exiled from the church following the Sexual Assault charges but was known to hang around outside peering into windows during choir practice. His actions and demeanor changed drastically following the disappearance. He had previously had a good relationship and family life but then became distant, spending a lot of time following the case and became short fused, angry and abusive with his family, which is why his son moved out and his wife divorced him. There were a number of other things I don’t recall but he was on the police’s radar as a suspect for a long time (over a decade I believe) before they felt they had enough to prosecute him.

    A mother's statement of her son at home is not an alibi.

      As I recall from other coverage there was more to substantiate his alibi and clear him than just his mother’s word. Also, his convictions were for non-related crimes. Pankey on the other hand had been accused of sexual assault, was exiled from the church and was known to later hang around the church peering through the windows at choir practice. There was much more pointing to him than 48hrs portrayed here. Police had actually been looking at him for this for over a decade as I recall before they finally felt they had enough to bring charges.

      It wasn't like that with this family though. They were a busy family with lots of activities. Each child had an activity that night and there was only going to be one parent on duty. That parent took Jonelle to her activity and dropped her off then went to watch the other child's activity. Jonelle got a ride home with a trusted family friend who dropped her off at her door, watched her walk inside her home, and then waited to make sure she turned on a light to show she was in and safe. Only then did the family friend leave. She was only supposed to be home alone for an hour before the parent came home with the second child. In that one hour Jonelle was kidnapped from her home. This is a very good illustration of parents doing everything right to the best of their ability and still something goes wrong.

    I am so disgusted with our criminal justice system that prosecutors would legally be allowed to bring murdering charges of any kind against this man. He may be crazy. He may have done it, but there isn't even circumstantial evidence pointing his direction. Should have been an aquital, to teach these overzealous prosecutors not to waste their only shot at justice. Poor Janelle. Bad adults, then and now. Shame

This episode didn’t even scratch the surface and it also didn’t address the fact that he didn’t actually have an alibi despite what he claimed here.
      It wasn’t a haphazard, irresponsible or overzealous prosecution. He had long been suspected and the investigators took over a decade collecting evidence and building a case before they felt they had enough to prosecute him.

      He lied about his father-in-law saying he needed to bury a body. He had zero evidence or info to contribute to the case yet kept inserting himself in it plus trying to drag others like the sheriff as well
      I agree the evidence was not strong enough to convict him, but he definitely implicated himself with his incessant unhinged ramblings

      Should have been found not guilty. No where near clearing the shadow of doubt. Also the neighbor Norris would have known Jonelle was home alone and was known to be after girls that age. Pankey wouldn't have even known she was home alone. Whether he threw himself into the situation is irrelevant. Absolutely zero concrete evidence upon which a conviction could be made. Lunacy. The justice system is scary. ​@@MM-we4no

      48hrs barely scratched the surface and also didn’t address the fact that he was lying about the trip to CA being planned and that he didn’t have an alibi. He claims here to have been at home but as I recall he had not been there for many hours that evening/middle of the night prior to rushing off to CA. He was home for a bit after she had been abducted but then left for several hours that he couldn’t account for which is when they suspected he had buried her body.
