Houston, Texas – Retired Texas Ranger, James B. Holland spent more than 26 years investigating violent crimes across Texas, earning a reputation for his ability to get suspects to talk. Now, his work is featured in the new true-crime series Killer Confessions, which gives viewers access to real interrogation footage and the investigative process behind some of the state’s most complex cases.
The series premiere focuses on the disappearance of four women in Texas and Oklahoma. Investigators believe convicted predator William Reece is responsible, but without the women’s bodies, building a case proves difficult. As Reece nears potential release from prison, Holland is brought in to help investigators secure the truth.
During his interview on Houston Life, Holland explains how interrogations rely more on psychology and communication than pressure, and why understanding human behavior is critical when evidence is limited. He also discusses what viewers can expect to learn about modern law enforcement techniques through the series.
Killer Confessions premiered with a special two-hour episode titled “Pathologically Evil,” and is available to stream and watch on Investigation Discovery.
