Embarrassing Attempt to Flirt Her Way Out of a Conviction

“Hello, you guys are married, right? He didn't inform me about his intentions, and I'm uncertain about the severity of the situation. I'm just really scared.” This is Amelia Bassoon attempting to charm the detectives in order to avoid being implicated in the murders. Amelia has been arrested in connection with the deaths of Cindy and Sean Stack, and it's believed she assisted her husband in covering up the crime. She's willing to do anything to escape the consequences, even flirting with the detectives. However, what initially started as a playful exchange quickly transformed into one of the most intense interrogations ever witnessed.

"They're dead. They're both dead. I didn't do anything," Amelia protests as the detective begins by reading her rights and collecting basic information.

Amelia's tone changes noticeably. She raises her voice slightly and adopts a timid demeanor. Perhaps this is her usual speaking style, but other evidence suggests otherwise.

"I don't want to press charges, but I would like a no-contact order. I can do that," she offers, exposing her neck by moving her hair to one side. This subtle gesture hints at attraction or a desire to appear attractive.

"Alright, so, mainly, I can tell you the reason why we're here today is because of that bank issue," the detective explains. Amelia's demeanor suggests surprise.

"Am I getting arrested or something? I mean, this story usually involves someone getting in trouble or arrested," she responds.

"We just want to be able to talk to you," the detective reassures her.

Amelia's attempts to appear innocent continue, but as the interrogation progresses, she starts showing signs of discomfort, like hunching her shoulders and crossing her arms.

The detective inquires about her role in the bank checks, and she begins sharing some details. She mentions that she knew Gerald, the victim, and that he had brain surgery but generally remembered things. Her body language implies discomfort as she talks about Gerald's bank records.

The detective presses for more information about Gerald's checks, but Amelia becomes increasingly vague and uncomfortable. She can't recall specific details about the checks and grows tense when questioned further.

The detective switches tactics and brings up Josh, Amelia's husband, suggesting he might have gone to Cindy and Sean's house. Amelia tries to distance herself from any knowledge of Josh's actions, but her nervousness is evident.

The detective emphasizes the importance of details, not vagueness, and urges Amelia to be completely honest. At this point, Amelia's facade starts to crumble. She expresses fear of going to jail and losing her job but insists she didn't plan or conspire anything.

The detective continues to push for information, reminding Amelia of her son and the potential consequences if she doesn't cooperate. Amelia admits that Josh told her he was going to "take care of things" but insists she didn't know about the murders.

Amelia's emotional state deteriorates further as she confronts the choice of either protecting her husband or telling the truth. She pleads not to go to jail and emphasizes her fear.

The third detective enters the room with a more sympathetic approach, offering comfort to Amelia. He encourages her to reveal what she knows and suggests that she doesn't need to protect anyone.

Amelia opens up about her conversations with Josh, how he purchased a gun and acted erratically after visiting Cindy and Sean's house. She admits that Josh told her he shot someone.

The detectives finally manage to extract a confession from Amelia, who acknowledges her husband's involvement in the murders. The detectives keep their promise, dropping murder charges against her but charging her for theft.

Josh, on the other hand, is found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
