The Officer-In-Charge
Weaverville Police Sgt. Stacy Wyatt was given the charge of the investigation which involved a driver who seemed to be telling a lie about his identity and was trying to stall the investigation. But why was he doing that? Sgt. Stacy wanted to know what was with the guy. He had to make him confess before the lawyer arrives.
The Demand
William kept asking for the lawyer every time the officers tried to question him about his identity. Somehow he knew that the officers had nothing on him and the huge file that they smashed on the table was irrelevant for the case he was being questioned for. The officers were running out of time as by law every accused has a right to ask for a lawyer and William knew that. The officers had 48 hours before he was appointed a lawyer and they had to break him before that. And they did.
A New Play
The officers decided to plan a stage in front of William. Both the officer moved out of the investigation room. They needed a plan to break William’s silence. The officer in charge came up with a plan where they would act like they have gained a breakthrough in the case. They were hoping that this act would make him more nervous than he already was. And that’s what happened. It was a good plan…
The Act Was In Order
The senior officer entered the room where William was kept for questioning. The moment the officer sat on the chair across him, the other officer entered the room in a rush and whispered something in his ears to which she responded with a shock. Obviously, it was all just an act, but to William, it looked like he was in some kind of deep trouble.
The Wait
Both the officers went out of the room as if there was some kind of emergency. It piqued William’s attention. The officers were watching him from the next room through the black glass window they have in the investigation room. William kept staring at the door of the room in the hope that it might open and somebody would come and tell him what they have found on him. The officers could see the nervousness growing inside him and as the time passed he was falling for the act. And then he confessed…
Confession
William was getting impatient. The officers were waiting for that one moment where he would just lose his patience. That’s exactly what happened. He was ready to confess. He started by saying that his name wasn’t William Sweet, but Wint. He was 49 years old. He used to live in South Carolina before he had “disappeared from Florida.” But why did he disappear?
