No. Especially, if you are being investigated for a crime. Usually, the only thing you will accomplish is giving them, (i.e., the police/prosecutor) information that can be used against you in the future.
That said, you should contact a locai attorney and discuss your facts with them. Most criminal defense attorneys will give you an initial consultation for free.
Hope this helps.
