In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan.

Why They Prosecuted the Wrong Men — Inside the Yogurt Shop Confession Fiasco”
In this segment, we tear open the wounds of the original investigation. Two men—Robert Springsteen and Michael Scott—were convicted decades ago based almost entirely on confessions that they later recanted. DNA would later exclude them entirely.
What pushed investigators to pursue confessions so hard? Tunnel vision, coercive interview tactics, and information “leaks” that allowed suspects to parrot back nonpublic details. Over 50 people confessed at one point or another to this crime—many obviously false. We dig into how interview design (false‑evidence ploys, minimization, sleep deprivation) creates a dangerous illusion of certainty. Legally, these strategies drive miscarriages of justice. Psychologically, they turn confessions into weapons rather than tools of truth.
In this part you’ll learn:

In this part you’ll learn:
Why confessions, especially in homicide, are dangerously persuasive- How contamination and leading questions distort memory
- What happens when investigators stop listening for disconfirmation
After you hear the mistakes, you’ll see how fragile the case was from the start—and why we can’t treat confession = guilt as an assumption ever again.
