He would just think that admitting to it would definitely cause even more trouble.
I think they avoid talking about her much as a person at all in the documentary, which is a bit strange. And then on top if that... I think her brother and her ex(?)-boyfriend's odd seeming behavior doesn't help much either.

Because I guess their aim was to make Steve and Brendan the victims, if they made Teresa a real person that would be harder to do. The series was set up to show that the crime was committed against Steve, you almost forget about the other crime involved here the brutal murder of a young woman (and probable sexual assault/rape)
