The Night Police Questioned Their Own Partner_ Police Interrogation True Crime

A detective sits across from a man he has known for fifteen years. They have shared meals. They have shared cases. They have saved each other's lives. The detective must now ask his partner where he was the night a witness was murdered.In this episode, I examine the most difficult interrogations in law enforcement: the questioning of a fellow officer. The suspect is not a stranger. He is family. The detective must set aside loyalty, friendship, and gratitude. He must do his job. The partner denies everything. He offers alibis. He attacks the investigation. He reminds the detective of the times he saved his life. The detective does not flinch. He has evidence. The partner's phone places him at the murder scene. His DNA is on the victim's clothing. His service weapon fired the fatal shot.The partner eventually confesses. He had been selling evidence from the property room. The witness was going to testify. He killed her to protect himself. The detective who interrogated his own partner testified at trial. He described the look on his friend's face when the handcuffs clicked. He said he would never forget it. He said he would never forgive himself for not seeing the truth sooner.Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the hardest handcuffs to click are the ones that go on a friend.
