It really looks like Leland/BOB want's to get caught.  He's spread out
so much stuff it's amazing.

First, he tells Donna and James that he took Maddie to the bus
station.  Given the body is found about 24 hours after the murder, it
should be possible to prove that Maddie was dead by the time he'd made
that statement.

Second, he goes out of his way to draw attention to himself on the
road.  When spotting Cooper and Truman, he almost literally asks Cooper
to take a look in the golf bag.  When Cooper is distracted, he appears
to be disappointed!

Third, as Cooper walked away he began waving the club in a very
different fashion.  Earlier he held it at balance points like a baton.
When Cooper turned his back he took a solid grip and handled it like,
well, a club.  His continued (or repeated) look of disappointment might
have been disappointment that he didn't club Cooper -- but with Harry
right there, that would've meant discovery of Maddies body.

Fourth, he isn't exactly subtle about his reaction to Ben Horne being
booked.  After about 30 seconds of concealment, he's back to the Home
of Happy Feet.

Leland/BOB *wants* to be caught.  But why?
