The problem with the 'third person in the truck' theory being the woman, is that Milam's brother Leslie also admitted before he died that he was involved in the murder, so you would need to rule out his presence first. Weird fact: Till's father was executed for rape in 1945, while a USA army soldier in Italy. However it was not until after Emmett's death that the details of the father's death was known, even by his wife. I believe there was some attempt to retcon this fact into Emmett's behavior; however no-one knew the facts of his execution, outside the army bureaucracy, until well after Emmett's death.
