911 Call: 5 Year Old Dulce Maria Alavez Missing


Missing 5 year old child 


Operator: 911 what is your emergency?

Caller: I can’t find my daughter.



This is very likely to be reliable (90%) on its form. 


At the time of this call, the mother cannot find her.  We wait for her to ask for help and to facilitate the flow of information to find her. 

Operator: When was the last time you seen her?

Caller: We were, we were with her at the park and people say that somebody, probably somebody took her.


This is a very strong indicator of parental neglect. She offers that "somebody" (gender neutral) took her, qualified with "probably."  Here we may expect the mother to express concern for the victim and demand/plead that she be found in urgent terms. 

1. A mother of a missing child should speak for herself. (maternal instinct)

2. The need for plurality is associated with the need to lessen guilt by dilution (crowd).

3. "people say" is passive----- she distances herself from her own daughter ("with her" and "we") and from the possible action that caused her to be unable to find her daughter.  
Operator: Ok how old is she?

Caller: She’s five years old.

Operator: Ok and what park are you at?

Caller: Here in Bridgeton Park.

Operator: OK where in the Bridgeton Park are you?

Caller: Umm... The one with the basketball court where the high school is.

Operator: Ah OK so you’re at the basketball courts behind the high school?

Caller: Yes.


Mom is compliant with questions and no further.  She is not offering information. 
Operator: Ok, and what was she seen last wearing?

Caller: (pauses) …She was wearing um…, umm, give me a second (speaks to another person in Spanish). I don’t remember what clothes she was wearing, but she was wearing, I just remember her pants, she was wearing like a flower, flowery pants, and some heels, some white heels.


The neglect is affirmed.  The pauses are viewed in context of the urgent need to find a missing 5 year old, one incapable of self protection. 
Operator: Ok ma’am stay on the line I will transfer you over to the police.

Operator: And you said she was five correct?

Caller: Yes.

Police: Hello ma’am, did you she which direction your child went?

Caller: No we were in the car she, she came down with my son. They were running to the park and then me and my sister we came down. So whe, whe, when we got here at the park she wasn’t here. They said, they said that my son was just crying with his ice cream, because somebody spilled his ice cream on the floor and my daughter just ran away.


Mom is very likely willing to blame others --this should be a strategy in the interview. 

Police: OK hold on.


Analysis Conclusion:

The mother is withholding information from police while her daughter is missing. This information is in context to her own status. 

What is being withheld is her own responsibility/connection to the victim. 

The mother does not ask for help for the victim, nor does she express concern over what her daughter is currently experiencing.  

The mother is more concerned with her own status rather than the victim's. Being against maternal instinct, it does not bode well for the victim. 

Substance abuse should be explored. Mother's lack of personal responsibility consistent with self preservation and lack of parental capacity for protection.

Mother of Missing 5 Year Old Speaks






Note her priority

Note her positive linguistic disposition towards the police who have not found her child. 

Note her negative linguistic disposition towards those who doubt her. 

Note that she does not express concern for what the victim is experiencing in her open statement --- she must be asked. 

Note the question of what she would do differently.

Pronouns: The Pronoun "I" in Analysis

Is there a single word in the English language that we use more than the word, "I"?

The pronoun "I" is critical in evaluating a sentence. It speaks to psychological commitment. 

"I went to the store this morning." is, on its form, reliable. As such, it is about 90% likely to be true. If the subject is lying, it signals a departure from the norm, and an ability to fabricate reality. It often reveals a personality type that is very dangerous to society. It is not a panic lie, nor an exaggeration, but something we find to be rare.  It often is later revealed that it is personality driven; meaning the subject has been successfully deceiving since childhood. 

We take note when the subject begins a statement with the pronoun "I" and when the subject does not. When a statement begins without the pronoun "I", yet uses it later, it is a strong signal that the subject does not want to, psychologically, commit to the statement. We often find deception in such statements. 

We take note of the sudden disappearance of the pronoun "I", especially mid-statement. This will be examined in a subsequent post. 

The Language of Addiction 

Active addiction has a language all its own. Similar to sexual assault victims, theft statements and other allegations, studying one subset at a time, methodically, yields accuracy in analysis. 

Such study will have emotional impact as the suffering from addiction is:

a. complex
b. tragically destructive 
c. highly politicized 
d. profitable

Addicts will use the language of manipulation, as the powerful brain impulse for relief (opioid, alcohol) signals, and such relief is sought in desperation. This begins to become a normal pattern which will impact the language. 

Addicts are, due to the constant post euphoric depression (lethargy, increased pain sensitivity, anxiety, etc), in a state of distress. The brain's natural "feel good" disruption is chronic; hence the deceptive nature of drug abuse. The post euphoric state is acute during withdrawal and fades over time, though this can last for many months; called "PAWS", or "post acute withdrawal symptom,"

It can alter the personality; particularly optimism or hope in life.  

Methadone clinics often have very high turn over of counselors because of the high stress in dealing with addicts. It is wearing to be incessantly lied to (consider the inherent insult) but perhaps the greater toll is in dealing with the projective depression, anger and often being blamed as being part of a conspiracy against the addict. 

Those who view themselves as victims of life have the poorest prognosis. We find in the language a shifting of responsibility (often using passivity) in even small issues, as well as chronic negativity. Conversely, those who take personal responsibility with the hope of changing self (rather than changing the world), have much better chances at recovery.  

"Misery loves company" is sometimes the result of being unable to free oneself from chronic low level depression and the pessimism that is all but expected from the hormonal disruption of the brain via substance abuse. 

This is a recent public post.  Note that it does not begin with the pronoun "I"--- 

it is interesting that the subject psychologically distances herself from the statement yet tells us why in the next sentence.  

In analyzing a statement, we not only discern deception from truth, but we look for the subject to tell us what her priority or purpose in posting is, and any dominant personality traits that may emerge. 

The language of addiction takes careful study in applying principles  and is valued for Employment Analysis. Those in recovery, acting in working sobriety, are relatively easy to spot as near opposite of the language of addiction. 

For training in deception detection, please visit Hyatt Analysis Services, and do some research into the training. Lie Detection and profiling (pyscho-linguistic) standards in the Complete Statement Analysis Course. 

The advanced work in analysis is vital for interviews, including social science professionals who seek to help mitigate the suffering of others.  Analysts are trained to carefully note each word, the use of ellipsis, order, additional language, linguistic disposition, as well as priority & personality traits. 

They seek to learn more about the subject;

What is her purpose? 
Does she show as empathetic of those suffering?
What do you make of the longest sentences? 

What is her prognosis at this time for recovery? 

Pronouns often "tell the story." 

Look for a new upcoming course release:  "The Language of Addiction" for those who have successfully finished The Complete Statement Analysis Course. 

Below is the beginning of her statement.
