During a criminal investigation, it is common to interview witnesses and suspects or persons of interest. When an interviewee gives conflicting testimony, this is a sure sign that they know something and are trying to conceal it from investigators. At this point, the interview becomes more intense, more direct questions are asked, and tactics are employed that have a high rate of success in routing out the truth. Sometimes that truth is that this interviewee is in fact the perpetrator of the crime or knows who is. Other times the truth is that information damaging to the interviewee but crucial to the case is unearthed.
