I loved your introduction. Hi, I'm Megyn Kelly. I'd love to have a chat with you. And here's the reason I'd love to have a chat with you. We have been working on the disappearance of Lisa for over 10 years now. And as a result of that, we know a whole lot more than we've ever known to include the players that are involved. And that's why we're talking to you today. We want to get your side.

I would not mention investigate or investigation. I wouldn't mention case, anything that has consequences associated with it. You just want to have a talk. in a conversation. We call it a transition statement in the interrogation world, because what it does is it signals to that individual that everything that they have done to try and pull this off, to be successful, has failed.

And that's when you would get in with the first question. What was your role in the disappearance? It's a presumptive question. A question you want to make sure if you can get in on camera is the question about the telephone. Is there any reason your fingerprints are on those telephones that went missing that night?

You keep talking. John, you're a smart guy. You know that at some point this was going to come to this. You can help resolve this whole matter that has caused pain and anguish to the parents and to their family. We're not here to argue with you or call you names or anything. And what you're doing is

you're limiting or minimizing the amount of questions because every time he answers the lie, your job gets twice as hard to get that admission. But if you could right off the bat can get him to listen to you, you've got a shot.

I understand, Bill, but I think you may have a chance to get him to open up a little bit.

Without trying to buddy up or cozy up to him. You don't want him to make a denial. Once they deny, that really makes your job difficult. And so when you see them start to make a denial, what you want to do is say their name. Whether people realize it or not, one good way to interrupt a person, stop them from talking, is to say their name.

Just instinctively, people shut up when they hear their name. It's a three-step process. You say, John, hang on. It's a control phrase. John, hang on for a minute, okay? And then I want to hear your side of it. And you've got your hand up is the third. So John, the control phrase and the hand up. And it's not in your face. It's almost like a defensive gesture.
