The night Suzanne went "missing", Mothers Day, Sunday. Barry drives back from the fake job. The CCso officers are clearly skeptical. Yet, They let him drive through the bike scene, walk around with his friend George, let him touch the bike, then escort him through the house. Was he "interviewed" at the precinct that night? I don't recall him ever sitting for an "interview" at a LE location- just random places at his discretion. Since barry is a bully and lying coward imo-i believe the Reid technique and confronting him on known lies would have yielded a much better outcome.
The Reid technique’s nine steps of interrogation are as follows
1.
Direct confrontation. Advise the suspect that the evidence has led the police to the individual as a suspect. Offer the person an early opportunity to explain why the offense took place.
2.
Try to shift the blame away from the suspect to some other person or set of circumstances that prompted the suspect to commit the crime. That is, develop themes containing reasons that will psychologically justify or excuse the crime. Themes may be developed or changed to find one to which the accused is most responsive.
3.
Try to minimize the frequency of suspect denials.
4.
At this point the accused will often give a reason why he or she did not or could not commit the crime. Try to use this to move toward the acknowledgement of what they did.
5.
Reinforce sincerity to ensure that the suspect is receptive.
6.
The suspect will become quieter and listen. Move the theme of the discussion toward offering alternatives. If the suspect cries at this point, infer guilt.
7.
Pose the “alternative question,” giving two choices for what happened—one more socially acceptable than the other. The suspect is expected to choose the easier option, but whichever alternative the suspect chooses, guilt is admitted. As stated earlier, there is always a third option that is to maintain that they did not commit the crime.
8.
Lead the suspect to repeat the admission of guilt in front of witnesses and develop corroborating information to establish the validity of the confession.
9.
Document the suspect’s admission or confession and have him or her prepare a recorded statement
