The Fastest Confessions From Suspects | Forensic Files

interrogations can go on for hours or even days but in some rare cases interrogations can last just seconds
[Music] [Applause] from accidentally confessing to escapes these are five of the fastest police
interrogations in history starting with Raymond Gates demonstrating exactly how to head straight to prison in seconds
Raymond was brought in after police obtained footage of him assaulting a 17 year old girl police had to prove that
the girl never gave consent which was difficult given that only some of the attack was caught on camera but became a
lot easier when Raymond almost instantly made a huge slip up in the interrogation
that put him dead to rights this girl came back to my house she's telling me she wants to lose her virginity man like
she's ready to do it and everything and then write a couple seconds before and she's like she's like I don't know and
stuff like that please tell me yes everything's cool she's cool with making out but when she when she screamed stop
please don't do this it hurts so much at that point I mean like the oh no stop I'm already like inside of her there man
it's already like that's when she's like oh it hurts when she hurts when a girl gets her virginity taken and without
even trying the cops had everything they needed to convict him so he was quickly
found guilty and sentenced to nine years in prison but while Raymond's interview
ended in under 10 minutes Quantrell schwartzlow did it even faster with his interrogation ending in just seconds
but not in the way you'd think [Music] Quantrell was brought in for strangling a girl and assaulting her a crime he
clearly didn't want to be convicted of [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh no wait unfortunately for Quantrell his
handcuffs were a dead giveaway and he was captured four hours later while it's unknown exactly what happens to quantra
laughter this clip will forever put him in the interrogation Hall of Fame however Ricky Hawthorne took a much more
straightforward approach to ending his interrogation managing to confess in record time Ricky was found covered in
blood near the bodies of Lara Kuchar and Tommy skeens Lara had clearly been assaulted Ricky's DNA was also found at
the scene so police had no worries when bringing him in surprisingly though Ricky would make it even easier for them
foreign [Music] so much for staying silent however Ricky is alleging that he wasn't actually the
murderer he just attacked the couple and assaulted Laura it was someone else that
finished the job even though the evidence was stacked against him he still would have had a better chance of
getting away with it if he just stayed silent there's three more people I don't know
and you know what it was living when I left but I think somebody came in behind me and finished them off I did beat the
[ __ ] out of him but it was somebody else I left despite his claims it was determined that the couple died of the
injuries inflicted by Ricky and he was later found guilty of first and second-degree murder as well as battery
in the assaults on Lara but Jared Murray Takes the Cake for the most insane interrogation in history Jared had shot
his friend in the head during a car ride to Walmart for no other reason than to know what it felt like to kill someone
Jared attempted to flee by hitchhiking to Canada but was picked up by an officer after perfectly matching the
perps description the officer took him into custody where a quick but truly chilling interview took place okay what
do you remember telling me uh information that I'm guilty yes of War of murder okay and who did you murder uh
Genero okay and then how did you murder him with a gun I shot him in the head twice okay uh three
shots were fired one Nest Jared isn't hanging around here and apparently had already confessed before he even made it
to the station but what's interesting about this interrogation isn't the speed at which he confessed it's exactly why
as well as his General demeanor throughout the interview okay did you ever give me your full name
Jared lindreth Wayne Murray and what's your date of birth uh July the 20th 1994. how'd you guys hooked up I went
down to his dorm room and asked if I could be given around to Walmart in exchange for twenty dollars gas money
okay did he agree to that yes sir okay and that's a couple miles from school 1.7 miles sir 1.7 miles yes sir
um yeah so he took you to Walmart yes sir and did you both go in no we did not go in sir and why not we pulled into the
parking lot then I pulled the weapon on him and demanded that he take me to Asher Oklahoma sir why did all of a
sudden did you decide to you need to go to Asher because I was planning to take him out
into the country and kill him Jared likes any form of empathy remorse or knowledge that what he's done is a bad
thing he merely expresses his actions as though they were fact and in a later psychological assessment it was
determined this was because he had become delusional and believed that he was required to kill someone if it's not
clear by now Jared was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and delusions from this are likely what pushed him to
kill Genera but Jared is happy to provide us with even more detail surrounding his motive so you've been
you've been praying this for two days ah two weeks yeah two weeks but not with a
selected individual and when did you get to the point where you knew it was going
to be him that was three days prior to the incident and one of him all the kids in college on you I believed that he
would have had the least impact sir the impact of one what ah I believed he didn't have many friends or many close
friends I should refer as and as his as he's going missing his Essence would be less notable Jared
was of course charged with first degree murder but was eventually found not guilty by reason of insanity instead of
receiving prison time he would instead spend an indefinite amount of time in custody at a mental health facility
where he would receive the treatment he should have had so much earlier all three of these cases have been about
criminals who confessed quickly but there are many cases where the interrogation is almost instant but for
a very different reason this 18 year old suspect was brought in after allegedly hitting a cop with his car and was
subsequently read his Miranda Rights is very important you understand you're right okay you have the right to remain
silent anything you say you can and will be used against you in court of law do you understand each of these rights
I've explained to you and these right to mind you wish to talk to me now sorry I'm sorry have these rights in
mind do you wish to talk to me now you know what happened okay you can call your mom at the gym
all right at just 18 years old this guy showed exactly how to act in a police interrogation perfectly exercising his
rights and truly outsmarting detectives assuming he wanted to lend himself in prison for the rest of his life
