From the same link as above,
Interesting interpretation here from the officers. You get up to leave an interrogation and you are prevented from doing so. This does not mean you are not free to leave all you need to do is ask. If you fail to ask then we can prevent you from leaving without any repercussions. Ridiculous. Remember that the parents were walking into an area in the station that they passed through three locked doors. During much of this time Melissa is also locked in to a room and isolated from calling a lawyer or talking to Kevin. This is a textbook example of a coercive interrogation.
