Soon after this, Misch was interviewed in prison but claimed that he had nothing to do with the murders. Instead, he claimed that on the day of the murders, he was filling his car at a gas station when he apparently saw one of the two girls being dragged away by two men, whereupon he supposedly came to their aid and fought with the kidnappers, who managed to escape. Misch claimed that the skin particles found under the fingernails were because one of the girls likely scratched him in the fight and that he was a "protector of all the girls" and prostitutes who worked in the area. Despite proclaiming to be a Good Samaritan, Misch also admitted to liking "big knives" and that he had attacked Benthaus because she was "walking with an arrogant attitude."

Shortly after the end of the interview, detectives realized that their recorder had turned off halfway through, and attempted to schedule another meeting with Misch weeks later, however, he completely recanted his story and refused to admit to anything, leading to him not being charged in this case for more than 14 years. On September 8, 2017, Misch was interviewed yet again, and on September 21, he attempted to hang himself in his jail cell, leaving behind a suicide note addressed to his brother, in which he claimed that he wanted to protect him and their mom from further questioning and embarrassment. However, he survived the suicide attempt, and in the following year he was charged with the double murder and ordered to be transferred to the Alameda County Jail from the [[Folsom State Prison]].
