If a person cannot look you directly in the eyes when they are talking to you or while responding to a question, but instead drops their eyes, I find something very wrong with that!<br /><br />I ALSO find it amiss that Sarah faked crying with dry eyes. NO TEARS! Good Lord, not only were there no tears while her own daughter is missing, but this woman couldn't even look the analyst directly in the eyes, and this analyist doesn't pick up on THAT? This mother is hiding something she can't answer with a straight face or real tears, whether it be relationship issues or something else. I think statement analysis obviously has her pregged already as being deceitful in just a few words. <br /><br />How in the world some people declare themselves to be body language experts is a complete mystery to me. I can do a better job than that with no training just by using mere common sense, as I suspect most of us here could too.

She said that yes, of course she would take a polygraph if that was necessary. (I thought it was odd that 5 (?) days had passed at this point & she still hasn't taken a polygraph?) There was something odd about her wording, or maybe it was her tone that reminded me of Tiffany Hartley.

Do you just guess? Or, do you just believe them and hope it turns out ok?<br /><br />We follow a method. It is not wooden, but it is strong. <br /><br />We realize that people choose words in less than a microsecond and something as rehearsed as a pronoun, for example, having been spoken literally millions of times, is instinctive. <br /><br />Where communication exists, discernment is needed. Where communication exists, analysis can be done. <br /><br />It is taught in all major languages around the world, and has been used for thousands of years. <br /><br />Therefore, when someone says "we", I know that they were not alone. <br /><br />It is "wicked cold" up here, but since we don't interpret, we don't think an element of evil accompanies the cold. Analysis recognizes dialect and when profiling, can reveal education and background information. <br /><br />Fasten your seatbelt and begin, on your own, to apply its principles to see if someone accused of something is telling the truth. <br /><br />If you find that a system, has, for example, a better than 90% success rate, it is one thing. <br /><br />If you find another system has less than .001% success rate, you have something entirely different. <br /><br />There is reason for the disparity in numbers. <br /><br />By the way, can anyone guess the .001% success rate? Hint: it is likely far less than that. <br /><br />Peter <br /><br />Statement Analysis Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607372649929274491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-17924503518451274312012-10-10T16:32:39.762-04:002012-10-10T16:32:39.762-04:00And with all of that said, I am leaning towards so...And with all of that said, I am leaning towards something being very hinky with mom.

I am not sure where I stand on statement analysis because I have traveled all over the country and know people speak English very differently in various areas. Throw in education level and whether the person is foreign or not....you can easily get some wonky English being spoken. The way a redneck from the hills of Alabama speaks will be far different than a well educated high society person living in Manhattan. After reading this blog, I even noticed the way I word some things would come under high scrutiny even while being completely truthful. I had to work hard to get rid of my southern drawl and slang and the way we "were learned" to speak when we moved to the East Coast. Because of this, I don't buy into SA 100%. However, I still read anyways, because I don't disbelieve 100% either :) There is also the factor that we may not know what kind of medications people are on and if they are on anything, their mind, emotions and speech can be all kinds of f*ed up.<br /><br />Anyways, I wanted to post this link here to find out your thoughts on it. Again, I don't believe or disbelieve what this person's "expert" opinion is....but it is interesting that you can get completely different analysis of one situation from different people.<br /><br />Body language expert: Jessica Ridgeway’s parents are truthful http://kdvr.com/2012/10/09/body-language-expert-jessica-ridgeways-parents-are-truthful/Anonymous Fannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-50909845639125394472012-10-10T16:03:46.231-04:002012-10-10T16:03:46.231-04:00Yes, I agree with you, when you say that you find ...Yes, I agree with you, when you say that you find it odd that she doesn't have a phone nearby in case of a problem. When she's at preschool 3 days a week, 4 hours, my ringer is up as loud as it'll go. My daughter is at her dads some weekends and my ringer is UP as loud as it'll go. This is even the case when I've been terribly sick and unable to sleep because of it. My need for sleep is NOTHING in comparison for someone to be able to get ahold of me in case of an emergency. I don't care if I get woken up repeatedly by nonsense calls or people texting me. All that matters is I am reachable for HER. I know she's safe, but if she needs me to comfort her for any reason, I want to be available! When she's at preschool 3 days a week, 4 hours, my ringer is up as loud as it'll go. <br /><br />I think the thing about these hinky parents in missing child cases is that she'd USUALLY have her phone with her, but the one day that was the last time she ever saw her daughter again... she didn't? The one day her daughter went missing. It just makes me give the side eye.

Sund/Peloso (I might have the 2nd last name spelled incorrectly). <br /><br />He threw the wallet in the middle of a busy intersection in Modesto. Why wouldn't someone who kidnapped a little girl just toss her backpack out where it would be found? Cary did all of his dirty work near Yosemite for Carole and Sylvia, and near Don Pedro Reservoir for Julie's murder, so to throw off the searches I guess he figured Modesto would be a good spot to dispose of it. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-59588122708721393242012-10-10T15:52:29.859-04:002012-10-10T15:52:29.859-04:00I don't like this woman.

I have no doubt this woman made sure she got her rest, her food (daughter taking waitress orders) and getting her feet rubbed by her indentured servant of a child. I don't see any tears, I see no grief or desperation to find her little girl. That love her for ever and ever and ever is next life nonsense. I don't believe her daughter disappeared. I believe she knows exactly where her child is.

I thought exactly the same thing when she made that statement about the backpack. <br /><br />I am new to finding this site, so I don't know all the mechanics of SA, but isn't it possible that HOW a person says something change the meaning of WHAT they say? So, just analyzing the words themselves without seeing the person speaking, doesn't that leave a lot out of getting to the truth? Or, maybe you are saying you have to analyze first, then watch them speaking it? Help me understand. Or point me to more info on SA. I guess I could look on wiki, though. ha. <br /><br />All that aside, I think I'm hooked on this process. It's fascinating.

And...it hit me....something that the mother said in her interview. Here it is "I figured you know if something really bad happened to her they wouldn't have gotten rid of the back pack just sitting there. They would have it wouldn't have been in plain sight" It is kind of a weird thing to say when you think about it. Perhaps Mom put the backpack there at some point and now brings out this explanation to persuade people to think that nothing bad happened? I don't know, but what she said could be seen as trying to mislead. Also she uses the pronoun "they". Why not the person, or an even less identifiable description like whoever took her.
