In the winter, he has twice donned a fun Santa-like red fur cap, while last week he dusted off a sombrero style red cowboy hat that John Paul had once worn in Mexico. No doubt, Germans are hoping that over the next few days, someone will convince Benedict to put on a traditional Bavarian feathered green Alpine hat.

And he wrote about her runny nose, although that's common among kids during the winter. Investigators therefore tested his credibility with other details he mentioned in his e-mail messages. He wrote, for example, about his mother trying to burn him. Yes, it happened, and his other stories also held up. "Most of the time you can discount a false confession immediately," Lacy said.
