In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Tony is joined by retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, who discusses the ethical complexities and techniques of interrogation, particularly in high-pressure criminal cases like the trial of Richard Allen for the murder of two girls in Delphi, Indiana. Dreeke criticizes coercive interrogation methods that compromise the integrity of the information obtained. Instead, he advocates for building rapport and understanding the psychological motivations of the individual being interviewed to inspire truthful disclosures. The conversation highlights the need for law enforcement to engage more in conversation and less in traditional interrogation, using empathy and strategic psychological techniques to facilitate more genuine and voluntary cooperation from suspects.

Key Points from the Conversation
- **Critique of Coercive Methods:** Dreeke strongly criticizes the use of coercion and manipulation in interrogation, noting that these methods often lead to unreliable information.
- **Psychological Techniques:** He emphasizes the use of rationalizations, projections, and minimizations as techniques to help suspects rationalize their actions and potentially open up more during interviews.
- **Empowering the Interviewee:** The focus is on empowering the suspect to make choices during the interrogation process, which helps in obtaining more truthful and voluntary information.
- **Ethical Interrogation Practices:** Dreeke stresses the importance of ethical practices that align with the interviewer’s integrity and the need for congruence between verbal and nonverbal communication.
- **Building Rapport:** The ultimate goal of an interrogation, according to Dreeke, should be to build a rapport with the suspect, seeing them as individuals rather than just tools for prosecution.

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Tony is joined by retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to delve into the complex circumstances surrounding the death of Kim Porter, former partner of Sean "Diddy" Combs. Porter's death in November 2018 from lobar pneumonia and subsequent cardiac arrest was ruled natural, but raised several suspicions. Dreeke discusses the challenges of investigating high-profile individuals and the potential influence of their power on the handling of such cases. He elaborates on how individuals in powerful positions often have 'fixers' who preemptively solve problems, potentially keeping them unaware of the underlying issues. Dreeke uses hypothetical scenarios to illustrate how complex networks of loyalty and manipulation can obscure the truth, raising questions about accountability and ethical conduct in the spheres of celebrity and influence.
