In August 2018, Thomas Perez Jr. found himself living a nightmare
in Fontana, California. After reporting his father missing, Perez
was subjected to a grueling 17-hour police interrogation.

Officers falsely informed him that his father was dead and
implied his beloved dog would be euthanized. Under immense
psychological pressure, Perez falsely confessed to murdering his
father—a man who was very much alive. This episode of Crime at
Bedtime delves into the harrowing details of Perez's coerced
confession, the tactics employed by law enforcement, and the
profound impact on his life. We also explore the aftermath,
including the nearly $900,000 settlement Perez received from the
city of Fontana in 2024.
