The interrogation room is small, the camera is rolling, and the woman across the table is insisting she has no idea how a five-year-old girl ended up dead in a bathtub.

What you'll learn

1 (01:05) **Interrogation begins: The suspect describes the bathtub scene** - The woman being questioned explains she put a child in a full bathtub, left to smoke, and returned to find the child face down.
2 (03:00) **Medical evidence contradicts her story** - The interrogator reveals the child had a fatal internal injury that would have killed her within minutes, making her account of a living child in the tub impossible.
3 (05:00) **The suspect denies beating the child** - The suspect insists she did not beat the child, but the interrogator compares the injuries to those from car crashes or falls from extreme heights.
4 (10:14) **Confronting the timeline: Richard was gone** - The interrogator reminds the suspect she said Richard left, and the child's liver injury was so severe she died within minutes, meaning the beating happened when the suspect was alone.
5 (13:00) **"I see children with lacerated livers all the time"** - The interrogator states he regularly sees children with these injuries, and they only come from one thing: someone close to them beating them.
6 (15:27) **Presenting the liver as evidence** - The interrogator shows a photo of the child's liver, explaining that a healthy liver is smooth and shiny, but this one is ruptured from being punched or stomped on.
7 (17:00) **The suspect's self-harm and lack of tears** - The interrogator notes the suspect has cuts on her wrists and contusions around her neck, suggesting she tried to kill herself out of guilt.
