Frank confessed to murdering Wes, presenting specific reasons to the police for his actions, though at least one of these stated reasons was later revealed to be untrue.
Stated Reasons for the Confession
According to information conveyed to Laurel, Frank confessed to killing Wes for the following reasons he provided to the authorities:
- Love Triangle: He claimed his actions stemmed from a love triangle involving himself, Laurel, and Wes.
- Laurel's Pregnancy: Frank also stated that he knew Laurel was pregnant with Wes's child.
Discrepancy in Frank's Confession
It was later understood that Frank's confession regarding Laurel's pregnancy was a lie. Laurel herself was unaware that she was pregnant at the time Frank made this confession to the police. This discrepancy suggests that Frank's true motivations for confessing may have been different from the reasons he initially provided, or that he was attempting to protect someone else by fabricating parts of his story.
