In what marks the first time the lead investigators at the Colorado Bureau of Investigation are speaking out about the Watts case, viewers will hear first-hand accounts on how they worked tirelessly to secure the ultimate confession putting Watts behind bars.

From Executive Producer Dick Wolf and Shed Media, “Criminal Confessions” gives an inside look into actual police interrogations around the country with detectives who will stop at nothing until they find justice. Each standalone episode of the series reveals the remarkable strategies and tactics law enforcement use to get the ultimate truth out of suspects, resulting in jaw-dropping confessions that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
