I can't imagine what it was like for Andy to find a knife in his son Jacob's drawer. Andy must have been shocked of the fact that Jacob could have been caught guilty of the murder. It was Andy's job to find out who killed Ben. Andy and his wife had a talk about this for a while and wanted to ask Jacob about it first before they would report it to the police. I agree with this decision because the parents shouldn't assume that their son could possibly be responsible for killing Ben.
