True crime fans can get a rare look at the tricks of the trades law enforcement officers use to help solve cases in the new 20/20 special docuseries The Interrogation Tapes. This six-part series continues on Monday, April 22, at 10 pm ET/PT on ABC as it continues every week throughout the month before wrapping up on May 6.
The series (full title The Interrogate Tapes: A Special Edition of 20/20) looks at compelling criminal cases in recent history through the lens of interrogations. Experts in the science and tactics of interrogation, along with ABC News legal correspondents Ryan Smith, Brian Buckmire and Jami Floyd, unpack key moments at the heart of each case. Audiences will see different techniques frequently used by interrogators, including how they use physical space and analyzing suspects’ speech and body language to find the truth, or, sometimes, a false confession.
