27 February, 2006 Confessions
Mishicot High School recorded on tape.
This is the audio recorded at Mishicot High School. Part One is a noisy and poorly recorded tape. The microphone was placed without testing its effectiveness. Why tape one’s noise level is high and variable is a mystery. This is something that confession seminar people need to add to their training. Part Two is a cleaner tape. These were recorded in the morning of 27 February, 2006.

Missing Fox Hills Resort sessions.
After the two sessions on 27 February, Investigator Wiegert and Special Agent Fassbender placed Brendan, his brother Blaine, and their mother at the Fox Hills Resort in Mishicot, Wisconsin.
They testified they were concerned about the safety of three. However, that concern evaporated the next morning. Audio recorded on 1 March, 2007 demonstrates that the interrogation continued without making a record.
Tom Fassbender and Calumet County deputies were present and the interrogation continued. Fassbender mentions information gained from these sessions after he and Wiegert picked Brendan Dassey up on 1 March, 2006.
These two expert investigators claimed recorder malfunction for the lack of records of the interrogations. Is that something learned at confession seminars?
