...and of course on the other forum that April05 was mentioning BmmopnGringo went on to say: "In fairness to the media, there certainly is drama since, as I mentioned earlier, the police would almost certainly detain him if they found him. Given the way that he was treated the last time he was detained, I can understand why he would not want to go through that again. Plus, if he is in custody for the allotted 72 hours, there is always the possibility that he might say something (or the police could claim that he said something) which would give the police adequate grounds to charge him with some offense and keep him much longer. It is also not uncommon for detainees in Belize to be coerced into confessing to acts that never occurred.
Whether he is guilty or innocent of the murder charges, he stands little to gain and much to lose by submitting to police questioning. I fully understand why he would not want to voluntarily cooperate"
