ID ANNOUNCES PREMIERE OF ALL-NEW SERIES "EVIL TALKS: CHILLING CONFESSIONS"

(Silver Spring, Md.) -- What if you could be a fly on the wall for some of the most chilling conversations in the history of crime? What if you could hear these conversations, word-for-word, exactly as they really happened? Investigation Discovery's (ID) all-new series, EVIL TALKS: CHILLING CONFESSIONS takes viewers inside the interrogation room to witness first-hand the clever tactics employed by detectives in hopes of securing a criminal confession. From establishing rapport with their suspects, to old-fashioned "good cop, bad cop" questioning, the new series showcases real-life interrogation strategies used by police to break their suspects and confess what really happened. EVIL TALKS: CHILLING CONFESSIONS premieres Monday, March 12 at 9/8c, only on Investigation Discovery.

In the premiere episode titled "Rival Affections," Michael Pies and James Kelly O'Mara are two strangers living in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota. Both men are found dead in similar ways - a single gunshot to the head. Police are puzzled, until they discover the one person who connects the two seemingly apparent strangers: Angelina Mae O'Mara - James' wife and Michael's lover. As the sole link between the men, detectives bring Angelina in for questioning. And when Angelina's story begins to waver, two officers with very different interrogation strategies race against the clock to uncover the truth. Can they break their only suspect in this double homicide before she walks free?
