SHRUM J,
concurring.
I concur in the result. As found by the majority opinion, Motes v. United States, 178 U.S. 458, 20 S.Ct. 993, 44 L.Ed. 1150 (1900), State v. Pate, 859 S.W.2d 867 (Mo.App.1993), and the progeny of those cases are dispositive of this case. Because Defendant clearly and unequivocally confessed at trial to the crime charged, it is my view that those cases render unnecessary any analysis or opinion about the possible invalidity of the search.
