'We have some very credible tips and when verified we will send to [law enforcement]. No more publicity stunts!! No more deposit slips!'
Zellner published photos of the handwritten confession sent to her office. The confession began by referencing the reward for new information in the Halbach case that Zellner's office announced on September 9. The announcement promises $100,000 to anyone with information that leads to a new conviction. Zellner toldthe funding was offered by a private citizen, who set up a trust fund for the large amount.
The tips Zellner mentioned in her tweet seem to be from the tip hotline associated with the $100,000 reward. Zellner explained the motive behind the confession may have been the money."I think the Evans confession has been totally discredited by those who really know the case," she told Newsweek."I do think his motives are very transparent, he is simply after the reward money. The only fortuitous thing for Mr. Avery out of all of this is that Evans has managed to discredit his 2016 snitch statement against Avery."there was no immediate way to confirm the validity of the confession.
This article has been updated to include a statement from Zellner, and add that her brief is due on October 14.
