The Pursuit of PEACE: A Case Example of Information Seeking Dialogue-Based Interviewing

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Recommended suspect interviewing practices have shifted from confession-focused, guiltpresumptive methods toward information-seeking, dialogue-based (ISDB) approaches. There are relatively few real-world examples that demonstrate the effectiveness of ISDB approaches within high-profile suspect interviews. This article outlines the specifics of Det. Paul Mitton’s homicide interview with Adam Strong, who was convicted of murdering and dismembering two females. This interview is an example of how ISDB principles can be effective for suspect interviews, and we hope to motivate other practitioners to adopt this approach.
