A long time ago, I was brought in for questioning regarding a murder. I was young and didn't know any better, but "I had nothing to hide".
The DA wanted me to say that I knew something about it and so he walked me through the entire scene, showed me pictures, told me he entire version of where I fit into the picture and so on. Showed me some pretty graphic images of the bodies, etc.
I could see how some people might be traumatized by this sort of "questioning" and simply allowing whoever they are speaking with to paint the picture and end up believing that they are in it.
After all, these were people I had known. I had been friends with the accused. It's not like they were completely unknown to me. I already had memories of these people. What if some of those memories just needed some "help" to come to light?
Coupled with whatever intense emotions + this sort of vivid storytelling... I could definitely buy that people would end up creating memories that don't really exist.
