Otherwise, I would have been stuck in the cognitive dissonance of how she shot herself in the chest with a shotgun ;)<br /><br />I'm 5'10" and 175lbs. I know there is no way I could put the barrel of my shotgun up to my chest and still be able to reach the trigger. I suppose it could have been a short barrel shotgun but the whole scenario seems unlikely on its face.<br /><br />And as GetThem said, my wife and I don't sleep in the same bedroom because we both snore, go to bed at different time and wake up at different times.

And since he tells us that before he goes into specifics about needing any medical care for her place his alibi as more important than the fact she's "passed out and unresponsive" which comes after "I found my wife"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-78141807612345889942015-04-28T18:34:13.736-04:002015-04-28T18:34:13.736-04:00I always learn new things from reading your analys...I always learn new things from reading your analyses, I had no idea before reading your analysis about the body posture thing regarding inanimate objects - fascinating!

Given the nature of an emergency , a call that begins with "hello" or "hi" or anything similar, is a red flag that the caller is a guilty caller in a homicide.<br /><br />2.

What is the priority of the caller?<br /><br />5. Does the caller ask for help for himself or herself instead of the victim?<br /><br />6. Does the caller disparage the victim, even in a subtle manner?<br /><br />7. Does the caller attempt to build an alibi anywhere in the call? <br /><br />8.

By using "my" bedroom, he is giving us an indication that the place of sleep (rest, peace) has something amiss. This should lead investigators to learn if they <br /><br />slept in different locations<br />talked about divorce where he keeps the house and she goes elsewhere.<br /><br />He then goes on to say<br /><br />"OP: Where are you at in the house ?<br /><br />TS: I'm in <b>the</b> bedroom<br /><br />This is interesting. <br /><br />Peter, as you stated above married couples will use the word "The bedroom" unless there are issues within the relationship surrounding "the bedroom". <br /><br />My point. He takes sole ownership initially by Stating "my bedroom" he then shifts to "the bedroom". Is he now distancing himself from where the shooting occurred by dropping the possessive pronoun "My" thus sharing and spreading responsibility of where the scene of the crime happened, like saying "we"?.John Mc Gowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430624388902099338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-56830386778666247462015-04-25T12:42:03.778-04:002015-04-25T12:42:03.778-04:00This is a really good lesson, the contrast of the ...This is a really good lesson, the contrast of the two calls and looking closer at the flagged statements.<br /><br />It seems like after going through the statement and flagging possible indicators, one should then look at the legitimate reasons someone may have used the statements that were flagged and see how that aligns with the rest of the statement. Not rush to judgment but continue to try and see why the person may be innocent. Only after there is no logical excuse for the statements one sadly concludes the probability of guilt.<br />Lisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-66433155552053353722015-04-25T11:54:28.675-04:002015-04-25T11:54:28.675-04:00The operator fed almost every word-for-word to Tim...The operator fed almost every word-for-word to Timothy Sparks through the entire call. <br /><br />Also, we don't sleep in the bedroom together anymore. We both snore, he is louder (ha, ha) and, J has to get up at 4AM so he doesn't like the TV on and I do. Plus, I go to bed an hour later and I'm apparently noisy, and he is noisy at 4AM. So there are reasons why people don't share a bedroom and it doesn't mean the marriage is bad. I love my husband, he is a great man, a wonderful husband and father and I love that he is such a good spiritual leader in our home. THE particular question about "my" bedroom as opposed to "our" bedroom should always be questioned as to the norm and WHY it is the norm. <br /><br />I wonder if he shot her in bed and the blanket was already bloody. The operator screwed up that piece of evidence by suggesting he use something. We already know Timothy had his hand on her chest.<br /><br />He leaks: "What did I do, what did I do."GetThemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199998926590078915noreply@blogger.com
