getting the truth. They often deal with guilty people who lie. To get the truth is not always easy. in my job, I work on a lot of internal and external fraud and financial crime cases with local LE, the Secret Service and FBI. Do you think people who steal and defraud tell you the truth if you're nice to them, if you ask them to be honest? It does no good to get false information from them, that's what you're trying to avoid, getting any more false information and lies. I've seen some really good liars, long term employees that swore they didn't do it. But I've never yet run into LE that just wanted someone to "lie" to close a case. They want to solve crimes. Do bad LE exist? Of course, but I highly doubt there are so many that they are in control of baby Lisa's case.
Why the heck would LE want to have the children here make up a story? What would it get them? Do people not believe these LE want to find this child? There is simply nothing in it for them to have the children blurt out some fabricated story that would to be supported by the facts when they are finally discovered. I'm just not that cynical and I'm pretty cynical.

<mod snip> And yes, they ARE about making people change their minds. Yes they are. What do you think reinterviews are about, and good cop bad cop, and telling people that their friends ratted them out, and they have evidence they don't have, etc.
