that may be true, but that was this month... not february.

It had been in practice a long time there.

For those that travel it was part of the warnings you get thinking you are going to have an American experience. Most countries they are going to laugh at your ass when you tell them you aren't talking until you get an attorney or can speak to your embassy.

This is great video. I'm very impressed with the interrogating officer - he has a great, persuasive tone without being in any way overreaching.

That was the only thing he had going for him, and it was so painfully obvious. The guy apparently confessed because of the mountain of evidence against him, cause that interrogator was awful. Everything he did and said was so contrived and designed to force pressure that didn't exist on the situation.

according to what i read on other sources, he was free to leave whenever. the door was not locked.

I could feel the pressure just watching the videos...wtf are you talking about? I thought the officer did a great job, got the confession and the location of the missing body.

The detective brought nothing to the table other than the evidence which spoke for itself.

Seriously, I'm just saying that his technique was crap. If you analyze what he said and how he said it, it's a damn good thing the evidence was so good, because most criminals would have laughed at his delivery. It was awful.

This!! I think the colonel was concerned about the wife that he didn't want her to go through dragging it out through the court and paying expensive legal bill. He really cared about his wife and respect her for not intruding on his perverted life. I know the wife knows nothing about his secret.

The detective didn't do anything exceptional to make the guy confess.

This isn't a Hollywood interrogation. His technique was flawless, he was calm, soothing....even referred to him as "bud" at one point. Never once called them murders, they were situations.

I thought he did a great job and that technique worked perfect in this situation. I fail to see why you can call it crap when it worked. I would be willing to bet that if the detective saw it wasn't going to work this way, things would have changed a little.

the guy knew his gig was up within the first video...based on the perps history that interrogator is lucky to be alive (except he knew the perps real mental history so knew a same team kill unlikely).

The guy confessed within minutes of finding out he was even a suspect. Even if he did just want to minimize the impact to his wife, the smart thing would've been leave, think it over a bit, see how things play out over the next few days, and then maybe confess.

The interrogator did a great job
A) Making the case seem more hopeless than it really was
B) Make confessing seem like a positive thing. "This is your chance to take control of the situation
C) Putting on the pressure.

Putting on false pressure is the whole point to having an interrogator. His objective is to get the guy to admit something he doesn't need to admit. Otherwise why bother with an interrogator, just go straight to court. Of course if you exaggerate too much the guy will think you're full of shit, but everything he said was pretty believable.

Look at the time stamp at the lower right hand corner of the videos. The confession didn't come until almost five hours into the interrogation. I recall reading somewhere that the entire interrogation lasted ten hours.

After the interogator mention his hard drive, computer, and pics the col. was also concerned about the investigator tearing up his wife new house for more evidence. Sorry I don't buy it that the interrogator did a good job. He could have given the interrogator a hard time if he wanted to. All he had to do was tune out the investigator and ask for attorney. He wanted to hear what the police have on him. As soon as he heard that and his house being torn upside down he decided to give up. Most of it was for his wife sake that he gave up. He could have dragged this out but the evidence and again his wife.

As for the poster who said he wants to get caught, how come he tried committing suicide in jail?

What would you have done differently if you were the interrogator?

I'm sorry but confessing so quickly is not a rational thing to do. You can always confess, but once you confess you can't go back. Minor inconvenience to wife while house is searched vs rest of life in jail. For all he knew the interrogator was completely BSing him fishing for a confessions since they had no case. The rational thing to do would be to wait at least a couple days before deciding to confess.
