How did Chris drive himself to Filene's to meet me?  He would have been like 9. A big brown two door. I was 16 just got my license. 

Torturing a person doesn't give you answers. It doesn't make them tell the truth or give away their secrets. It doesn't make you any more honest. It does breed contempt, and acquiescence. It belittles and erodes at a person's dignity until there is nothing left but a shell of the former self. It forces the victim to have Stockhholm syndrome by default. They know they have to comply to survive, if there is to be any hope of survival. 

There can be no truth found in desperation. Most people will tell you anything you want to hear to save their own suffering.
