This episode examines the interrogation of Yasenia Sanchez, a former police officer who attempted to murder her ex-boyfriend, Miami-Dade Deputy Damian Colon. Throughout the interview, Sanchez constructs a complex narrative of self-defense, claiming she was coerced into the shooting by a masked, armed stranger who threatened her daughter. The episode highlights how detectives allowed her to provide meticulous details of past abuse and car-tracking methods, while already possessing surveillance footage that contradicted her story. Despite her elaborate claims of a kidnapping and forced assault, physical evidence and a lack of corroborating witnesses exposed her account as a fabrication. Ultimately, the records show that she utilized a vehicle tracking app to ambush Colon, leading to his catastrophic injury. The account concludes with Sanchez's guilty plea and a sentence of thirty years in prison for her premeditated crimes.
