'True Detective' season 3: How does Edward Hoyt know about what happened with Harris James?

Someone from deep inside the case had to be covering up the important tracks. Tracks that would really lead you to the people behind it.

Note: Contains spoilers for 'True Detective' season 3 episode 7.

We are just an hour away from solving the mystery that is 'True Detective' and still, we are nowhere close to knowing who really did it. The penultimate episode made it quite clear that the Hoyts definitely had something to do with it but to what extent? Did they really kill Will? Tom Purcell's discovery in episode 6 does imply that Julie was definitely taken by them when she was little, the pink rooms and all being literally true. We also fear that little Julie may not have been your garden variety "princess in the pink castle" and it all adds to a much larger criminal ring. But, the one thing that one really wonders about, is how is it that a family could hide a secret like that for 35 years in a small town in the Ozarks, especially with attention swarming around the case from all sides?
