Wait, wait, put away the flamethrowers! I am not saying that suspects should be routinely tortured into confessing crimes. But when there is overwhelming physical evidence that someone has kidnapped a person and that someone has been arrested but won't tell where the victim is (I'm thinking of the Dru Sundjin case and, more recently, that of young Carlie Brucia), I really wish it were possible to use thumbscrews or electrical shocks to the whatsis or whatever torturers use to get answers.
I realize that this would never fly; I'm sure it goes against the "self incrimination" rule if not the "cruel and unusual punishment" one (although it's not really a punishment
per se) But it's just so frustrating when those men know what happened to the victim and the whereabouts of her remains but won't say anything. Those poor, poor families
