Can you talk to a lawyer about this?
I would say just to be very very apologetic and come clean with the cops, but if they have
wasted a lot of effort and taxpayer money and perhaps a guilty party has gotten away because of you - well, they have legal aid attorneys and if there is a law school in your area they sometimes can give you some helpful advice in clinics open to the public at very reduced or no charge.
