When Bob screams "I should have killed you when I had the chance!", everyone walks away as if he confessed. How is this a confession? Did Bob deny being
with her in the first place? I couldn't remember from the beginning whether he denied even being with the girl or what--just the cops said they didn't want to follow up on it.
The way the scene plays out is more to do with poetic/filmic licence rather than making procedural sense. Bob had an alibi at the beginning of the film (two friends and even a pizza delivery guy) so his screaming at Cindy was kind of a confession. Obviously in real life if that had have happened the cops would continue to interrogate and the lawyer would be yelling at him to shut the hell up.
Actually there were quite a few bits of this film where it was obvious that the writer decided to add more drama or tension, which is perfectly fine and normal for a film of this type. If it had been a straight telling of the facts it'd likely have been dead boring.
I'm almost certain the whole story line of Bob paying the other guy to get rid of Cindy and that it wasn't the first time he'd used him was all filmic licence.

I thought all this too but apparently in real life the killer did actually confess after repeated interrogation. Probably just not so loudly as in the movie.
