According to new reports Elizabeth confessed a second time to killing Gabe.
The first confession was when she texted Logan. This new second confession being reported was in May, during the interview with Detective Salame.
It's reported that this second confession can't be used without a special ruling from a judge, since her attorney wasn't there during the interview.

Johnson Confession Reportedly Came During Jail Interview

A source close to the missing Baby Gabriel investigation has told CBS 5 News that his mother, Elizabeth Johnson, confessed to a San Antonio, Texas, detective in May she killed her son.
That confession came during an unauthorized meeting between Johnson and the detective in the Estrella Jail in Phoenix, a meeting of which her attorney was unaware.
Because the meeting was unauthorized, it is not admissible in court unless there is a ruling otherwise.
Detective John Salame of the San Antonio Police Department might have been just moments away from learning the location of Gabriel Johnson's body when Johnson's attorney appeared and ended the meeting, the source said.

Despite Johnson's alleged confession, McQueary said he maintains his belief that Gabriel is still alive.

SAPD refused to comment on the alleged confession.
The details of that interview are part of the investigative case file, SAPD spokesman Sgt. Chris Benavides said in an e-mailed statement. Therefore, the details cannot be discussed.

SAPD Chief William McManus has said the allegations made about Salame were unsubstantiated and would be answered in court, but declined to comment further.
Feldman found out about the interview while it was taking place and stopped it, Alcock said Wednesday by phone.
Johnson filed a motion to change counsel Sept. 27, and last week attorney Marci Kratter became her lead defense attorney.
Kratter, who said Wednesday she has no idea what's going on, confirmed she will represent Johnson at a status conference on the case scheduled for Thursday. She declined further comment.
The only person who really knows what happened in that meeting was Detective Salame, Alcock said. He wasn't on drugs.

Gabriel's grandfather, Frank McQueary, told ABC15 he and his family appreciate the public support and continue to search for Gabriel.
"We're holding out hope, but with everything that has happened and there being no sign of Gabriel, it really calls into question what exactly did Elizabeth do with that child," said McQueary.

"We've decided as a family that the best thing we can do to assist the county attorney's office is to let them do their jobs," said Frank McQueary. "We want them (Smith & Elizabeth Johnson) to go through the court process, we want them to be successfully prosecuted."
