Brad Beeler spent 25 years in the Secret Service getting people to admit the worst things they've ever done. His top communication tip: be interested more than you try to be interesting.

A nervous suspect sits at 120 or 130 beats a minute, deep in fight or flight. Beeler wants that heart rate down before he asks anything hard.

So he bought one suspect Wendy's and a Frosty. Nervous people don't eat, and this man scarfed it down.

Beeler had combed the man's Facebook and found a pit bull in photo after photo. He asked about free time and let him beam about that dog for ten minutes.

Then the man disclosed something done to him as a kid, at about the same ages as his victims.

Beeler went back to the dog. Treated well it's amazing, but shock it and feed it only when it fights and you create a monster.

That gave the man an off-ramp to the truth without excusing a thing. He got 47 years in prison.
