Michael Rafferty is a Canadian man convicted in connection with the abduction and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Ontario in 2009. The case gained national attention due to the age of the victim and the disturbing details revealed during the investigation. Rafferty was arrested and later convicted, receiving a life sentence. The case remains one of the most high-profile child abduction and murder cases in Canada.
In this video, we break down the Michael Rafferty interrogation from the Tori Stafford case and show how a veteran interviewer uses minimization and good cop/bad cop tactics to keep pressure on the suspect. We reference Terri-Lynne McClintic’s confession, the case timeline, and why specific interrogation strategies can make a suspect talk—or go quiet. If you study police interview tactics, interrogation psychology, or want a full interrogation breakdown of this notorious Canadian case, this is for you. We compare the interview room narrative with reporting and court records (McClintic’s 2010 guilty plea; Rafferty’s 2012 conviction and life sentence with 25-year parole ineligibility) and explain why some laptop evidence was inadmissible even though it painted a disturbing portrait. Finally, we analyze the moment the tone shifts into a more confrontational approach and why that matters for audience retention and truth-seeking.
