At 2:01 a.m. on July 13th, 1994, a call came in to 911 from the upscale Somerset neighborhood area in Bellevue, Washington. The caller was 19-year-old Sebastian Burns, a Canadian native, who had been staying with his friend, Atif Rafay, as well as his parents, Dr. Tariq and Sultana, and his special needs sister, Basma Rafay for 5 days. Sebastian was calling to say that he and Atif had come home from a night out to find all three Rafay's had been brutally murdered; bludgeoned to death with a baseball bats.
The boys were the likely suspects, but were not arrested. Soon after, they made their way back up to Canada, where the RCMP Canadian Police caught wind of the crime. They tapped their phones and bugged their houses, but still the boys would not confess. So the Canadian police resorted to a very non-traditional and controversial method called The Mr. Big Technique.
This was a technique illegal in the United States, but legal in Canada, and, for the next six months, the police employed the strategy, going undercover as mob bosses who told Atif and Sebastian that they would secure their help, if they only confessed to the murders. What followed was a shocking discovery, brought about by a technique some considered to be amoral and unethical.
