These two things are not the same.
Detectives can choose to disregard a "confession" for any number of reasons. I have been on both sides of cases where multiple people "confessed" to the same crime.
When you say "confession", what do you mean? Written? Verbal? Did he say " I did X on X date at X location ", or did someone ask him a question and he said " Yeah I guess"
These are important details when judging the weight to be placed on a "confession"

But the point is that a prior suspect (important) confesses to a murder, and the detective chose to dismiss it, rather than pursue it. It was later proven the confession was accurate.
The detective surpress the truth, yet you would have us put faith in such a morally bankrupt person.
And you wonder why people don't trust the system.
