Lisa Williams was the flight attendant who was taken hostage by the female suspect, Alexis Johnson. The interview room was set up in the security area, a quiet part of the airport with no disturbances, with the chairs facing each other approximately four feet apart the officer does not sit among the door and Ms.Williams because of the assumption of her not thinking she could leave (Psychological Principles Interview and Interrogation, 2009).

The officer wanted him to think that he was in the clear and that they were friends in order to get him to open up and make do information.The officer began to ask open-ended questions that allowed him to discuss his typical flight and some of the operations that happened on a regular basis. Upon sharing the names of the flight attendants, his demeanor changed and he began to display signs of anxiousness. From here, the officers co-investigator switched to the Reid technique for interrogation. This is a nine step technique to obtain a confession to a crime. Mr. Drebin was confronted about the facts of the case and a theme was developed on the events of the mishap (Layton, 2013). He was read his Miranda Rights and officially arrested for his role in the crime.Male Suspect From the information already provided by the witnesses and victim, the pilot of the aircraft was commonly identified by some(prenominal) parties. In light of the details of the incident, the officer uses the structural interviewing technique with the pilot of the plane. This way, he can discuss the narrative of the events of the incident (Gosselin, 2007). Because of the nature of the incident, the interview of the pilot was conducted in the security office of the current terminal of the airport. This room was chosen because of the privacy and the comfort feel of the room. Mr.Drebin was asked if the interview could be videotaped, in which he agreed as well as including another officer in the room. The chairs were at an angle located about five feet apart from one another. Both parties agreed to use first names mend conducting the interview. The officer began the questioning with asking personal information in order to stay fresh the suspect at ease. Next, the officer asked Mr. Drebin about his flight. Mr. Drebin stated It started as business as usual. We were ahead of schedule. When I fly the plane, I am isolated from everyone else and only communicate with the tower.I cant r eally tell what is going on in the cabin unless I am notified by an attendant about a situation through the two-way intercom. I didnt communicate with the flight attendants or the cabin until we hit flight altitude, where I told them the length of the flight. Next, the officer asked Mr. Drebin what he meant by the communication with Ms. Johnson. After approximately thirty seconds, Mr. Drebin stated I am sure that I was just giving the crew some flight plans and times for service. The officer observed his body language because he was becoming agitated with the questions.His non-verbals made it tripping to see this. Then he seemed to be nervous and to fidget. Mr. Drebin was informed that he was a suspect in the robbery heist and was placed under arrest. The officer read Mr. Drebin his Miranda Rights. When the officer began to question Mr. Drebin, he decided to lawyer up. Female Suspect At the shot of the robbery a female suspect was captured. She was then asked what her name was s he refused to speak. The arresting officer then proceeded to read the woman her Miranda rights and placed her in the police cruiser.Once we arrived at the police station the female was then place in a small room for questioning. When the officer entered the room to begin questioning, she established a rapport with the female. Both parties sat at opposite ends of the table. The officer asked her what her name was and she refused to answer. The female was suspect was informed was caught by another officer and the jewels were assemble in her purse at the time of arrest, there is more than enough evidence to put her away and that she is going to get one more chance to tell your side of the story.She still refused to speak. The officer proceeded to inform her that the male suspect in custody and he is already placing blame away from him if she doesnt want to take all the heat, she needs to start talking. She then proceeded to say that she was part of the robbery. The cognitive technique was used in order to gain rapport and start with easy questions to help get and keep her relaxed. However as the questions seemed to become harder, she was not happy and would not slip by with the questions (Heuback, 2010).The female suspect was asked her name, in which she replied Alexis Johnson. Ms. Johnson was then asked personal questions in order to get her at ease. Ms. Johnson was reminded of her Miranda rights and she informed the officer they were already read and unsounded them. When asked why she robbed the plane, Ms. Johnson stated I felt that I could use the particular money and buy everything that I have ever wanted.

Summation In this crime scene we found out how two individuals worked together to steal some diamonds off an airplane.These two people were very intelligent, and they did manage to get the diamonds off the airplane. However, the suspects were not able to make it out of the airport before they g ot caught. The police met them at the door. Both suspects were found guilty of their crimes and arrested.
