I read about an interrogation technique quite a while back in which the detectives separate all suspects into different rooms and try to get one of them to confess by telling them that the other has already confessed. This technique had a particular name which I can't seem to find anymore (nor can I find any mention of this way of interrogation).
Note: I'm not sure if this is the correct community for this question. I would be happy to be directed to the right place if it is not.
