>A simple call to a supervisor to confirm if the role player is who they are talking should have fixed this in less than 2min.

Why would you call your supervisor if you believe the role player is role playing someone you should interrogate?

First you need to have a doubt about that person being the role player, but them denying that they are who they are might seem like the expected response.

At most I could imagine the person in the other room, expecting a "surprise" interrogation might be wondering why nobody has been knocking on their door for 45 minutes. But maybe they don't know when the exact moment should be.

Because in a non training scenario, if a suspect claims they are not who the authorities think they are, there should be some effort made by the authorities to ensure they are not violating the rights of an innocent person.

Especially when it should be as simple as texting a photo and name of the actual suspect back and forth within seconds. Or maybe in this case, it would be verifying the hotel room number.

Either way, this verification step does not seem like it should take 45min+.
