However, is it simply a coincidence that the statements that Aaron told police in 1993 coincide so perfectly with the alleged confessions that Buddy and LG made in 1994 and were later retold in 2012?

I think its likely that Terry took the board with him as well to dispose of later or had it thrown in the bayou. Was it because he was running around frantically trying to cover up for the crime? This is significant because no one else has ever theorized that Chris was actually bitten in his scrotum; its a completely new allegation. Douglas believes the act was meant to dominate, control, humiliate and punish. No doubt.
