Simpson.  In the video, Casey talks about her new computer, the dog she adopted recently (because that’s so important) and feeling like she has some sort of control again.  Since the video has surfaced, one of her attorney’s has confirmed that someone “illegally contained it and has leaked it”.  Really?  Because if so, how opportune for her to be reintroduced to the public as she will soon be getting off of probation.      What I find extremely interesting is that not once did she mention Caylee or her parents, not once!  : 33 seconds into the video, she rolls her lips in after saying “I guess to start this one, umm….”  Rolled-in lips occur when someone is holding something back.  People involved in scandals that are in the public eye often leak strong emotions in which many of these emotions can be seen in the lips.  Other examples of lip rolling contain Weiner, Clinton, Kobe Bryant, and the list goes on.  I have a favorite saying, “When we don’t like what we see or hear, our lips disappear.”  This remains true with these gentlemen and their misconduct.  As they say, the truth hurts!                      At 2:57 Casey laughs that repulsive laugh and says “I don’t know if I should look at the camera or at the screen” then proceeds to hold the side of her neck with her right hand.  If she were nervous or anxious, she would have held her neck dimple.  Maybe in the courtroom (woe is me), but not this time.  She actually came off very narcissistic just gazing at herself and probably thinking “Damn, I’m good”.   Towards the end of the video at 3:19 of the video, Casey says, “Things are starting to look up and change in a good way.” Here she leaks fear then contempt in her facial expressions.  She also shrugs while saying “I just hope things stay good and only get better.”  Could tot mom be concerned that ground-breaking information could come out and make things not so good anymore?  If she’s innocent, why wouldn’t things stay good?  Your guess is as good as mine… 2012-01-07T04:15:57+00:00 http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/do-you-meet-our-requirements-to-apply-to-attend-blis-elite-certification-tr/ http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/do-you-meet-our-requirements-to-apply-to-attend-blis-elite-certification-tr/#When:08:18:14Z YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO… Tell us the truth! The Body Language Institute’s (BLI’s) certification programs are held in an exclusive private environment in classes fewer then 15 people. Our lead instructor and president Janine Driver is a retired industry operations investigator with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), where she possessed top-secret clearance for all of her 16-years with the Bureau, including her time on assignment with the FBI. Janine has trained the ATF, CIA, FBI, FAA, DIA, over 5,000 chiefs of police, and more than 20,000 special agents, police officers, lawyers, and judges. Today she is a body language and detecting deception media guest for CNN, where she weighs in on current murder, kidnapping, and cheating investigations and cases. As you might imagine, many of the body language and detecting deception strategies revealed throughout our training have never been released outside of the walls of the numerous three-lettered federal law enforcement agencies in Washington, DC.  To do our best to make sure our formerly classified information doesn’t get into the wrong hands, all applicants must meet the following criteria: You must not be a/an: ▪                Illegal alien ▪                User of any illegal drugs or abuser of illegally obtained drugs or medicine ▪                Current patient under the care of a mental health professional for a diagnosed psychiatric illness ▪                Convicted felon ▪                Fugitive from justice ▪                Person convicted in any court of crimes of domestic violence, violence against a child, or animals ▪                Minor child without signed parental consent   Upon arrival to class, you must show a valid driver’s license or current passport, or other government issued proof of identification showing your name and photo. Now ask yourself, “Do I pass the requirements to register to get certified by BLI?”  If your answer is "yes!" give us a call today at 202-271-0922.    URGENT UPDATE: Due to the demand for Janine from media regarding the 2012 elections, the upcoming release of her second book and previously booked corporate keynote and workshop events, there will only be one BLI certifiation course per month.  Some months already have a waiting list and we anticipate this to continue for the entire year, so act fast and call us at 202-271-0922 or email our Director of Education Lorraine at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) //= 0; i=i-1){ if (l[i].substring(0, 1) == ' ') output += "&#"+unescape(l[i].substring(1))+";"; else output += unescape(l[i]); } document.getElementById('eeEncEmail_tgkdHjuUDK').innerHTML = output; //]]> ! 2011-12-20T08:18:14+00:00 http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/can-you-spot-the-deceptive-hot-spots-in-the-ny-times-interview-with-sandusk/ http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/can-you-spot-the-deceptive-hot-spots-in-the-ny-times-interview-with-sandusk/#When:22:37:23Z We’ve all heard about the case surrounding Jerry Sandusky, right? He’s the former Penn State assistant football coach and the founder of the charity for children with absent or dysfunctional families, The Second Mile. Sandusky was arrested and charged early last month on 40 criminal counts of serial sex abuse of minors, including:   Seven counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse Eight counts of corruption of minors Eight counts of endangering the welfare of a child, and Seven counts of indecent assault   The investigation began three years ago after the parents of a 15-year old boy discovered and reported that Sandusky had inappropriate contact with their son over a four-year period. Since then, a number of other boys have been identified as having been singled out and abused by Sandusky from 1994 to 2009. The investigation also included other Penn State employees who knew of the child abuse and failed to report the activity to the police.   Sandusky is currently free on bail and pending trial. He could face life in prison if convicted.   Watch an interview by the NY Times with Sandusky here and look for any probing points (deviations from his normal behavior) that may indicate Sandusky is being untruthful about the allegations. Then, take a look at the chart below to see what I noticed.   Probing PointTimeDescription10:03As Sandusky says, “These allegations are false,” he looks to the upper right (which indicates he is creating an answer) and giggles.20:05He stutters and stammers as he says “I dddd-didn’t do those things.”30:05People who get caught will often dumb down the crime. Sandusky does this as he says he “…didn’t do those things” as opposed to saying “I didn’t molest x, y, and z.”40:08After saying the above-mentioned statement, Sandusky does a shoulder shrug, which is indicative of uncertainty. When done with a definitive statement, it is suspicious and cancels out what was just said.52:18Sandusky talks about the report being “unfounded” but he does not deny doing the inappropriate behavior.63:50Sandusky displays a tongue protrusion. In adults, these protrusions increase when they are lying or not being forthright.73:56 – 3:58Here, he does an extended eye blink. This is often seen when someone is about something to be deceptive. It’s as if only they can “see” the truth.84:06Sandusky looks way off to the right, in the opposite direction of the interviewer. This behavior is highly suspect and indicates there is more to the story. It’s as if he’s looking for a helpline.94:16When he finishes saying “…inappropriate behavior in the shower,” he does another shoulder shrug. This is one of the top 3 moves we see in deceptive people, and again, it signals uncertainty.104:25Sandusky giggles, bends down, and responds, “It didn’t happen.” A truthful person would be more apt to speak in the first person, i.e. “I didn’t touch anyone.”114:31Here Sandusky does more shoulder shrugging with his right shoulder.124:32He says, “In my mind it wasn’t inappropriate behavior.” What in particular wasn’t inappropriate in “his mind?”134:38“If you want you can speak to the ah-ah-ah-you, know, the person, the person (deep swallow) that was involved.” This stammering and stuttering indicates he is stalling, and it’s often used when people are being deceptive. It allows them to buy time to think of what to say. Also, his unwillingness to say the alleged victim’s name is a use of “Distancing Language”. It is much like when Bill Clinton said, “I did not […] that woman.”144:44More shoulder shrugging15 When discussing no longer being allowed to work the kids out in the school’s gym, Sandusky adds, “Can I just work them out?” The word “just” is suspicious, as it downplays the topic (any topic), and this sentence doesn’t make sense. What else was he planning on doing with them other than “just working out?”16 – 34 Sandusky says, “And and (16) I guess, ah (17), you know (18), in the times that you (19) had with them, you always (stop – 20) those (stop – 21) all the time were precious times. You know (22), they were significant times because they weren’t, ah, (23) you know (24), they weren’t going to have you and you weren’t going to have them (25), you know (26). So (27), there was ah, ah, (28) there was all kind of (stop – 29) it was significant times. It was important times. And umm (stop – 30) this um (31) (inaudible – 32), it just happened that way (33), I don’t know (34).This ramble is incoherent, loaded with deceptive start and stop sentences, verbal fillers, strange language, and distancing language and what exactly was “precious and significant?”357:15Sandusky repeats NBC’s Bob Costa’s question, if he’s sexually attracted to under-aged boys. This is a close-ended “yes” or “no” question. His rambling answer is suspicious and indicates that he’s not being truthful.367:27As Sandusky remembers and speaks about being asked the question on NBC if he’s sexually attracted to young boys, he leaks a micro-expression of fear with his eyes wide open.377:30Sandusky comments, “If I say that I’m not attracted to young boys, that’s not the truth.” In Statement Analysis, we discover that people reveal the truth to us in the actual words they say. This response is highly suspicious, even though his lawyer tries to help him say that he’s attracted to spending time with young people, not sexually. Sandusky himself doesn’t say, “I’m not attracted sexually to young boys.”   With nearly 40 probing points in a mere 9-minute interview (that was partially audio-only), I can say with confidence that there is definitely more to the story here. There’s a lot of suspicious activity going on here, not only in his body language but in the context of his statements as well. The real question is, what is it that you’re not telling us, Sandusky? 2011-12-19T22:37:23+00:00 http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/encountering-empathy-or-the-lack-thereof/ http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/encountering-empathy-or-the-lack-thereof/#When:19:06:34Z I just submitted by most recent blog post to The Doctor Oz Show - its focus is lack of empathy after sustaining a traumatic brain injury. Very interesting to research! I'll post the link here when it goes live... Lack of empathy always astounds me when I am confronted by it. It seems as though it should be such an innate human response to another in need - that I for one, am always SHOCKED when it fails to materialize.  What is interesting about this lack of empathy from those that experience traumatic brain injuries is that you forget, or fail to imagine, what this kind of person might actually be like. As a working professional and loving mother, I pride myself in making absolutely certain that I am available for my son. Putting my energy into being the mother that my son deserves and needs from me takes priority. Over the years, I have become rather good at balancing the investment I put into my family, and that which I exert into work engagements. Okay, so you want to hear my personal story. Simply put, way back when I was working with a woman that I enjoyed working for - job was good, money was great, life was sweet. When my son was born, he had an unusual heart condition that the doctors felt would leave his immune system compromised, as well as potentially require attention (even surgery) during his first year of life. Now, I had been a good employee for more than a decade, had never asked for much in the way of favors and was a reliable, hardworking drone. When I went to my boss with a plan of action - not wanting to leave our son and his weakened immune system in a daycare starting at 6 weeks of age, my husband and I had worked out what we felt was an equitable solution - both of us would owrk from home two days a week, alternating days to maintain our hectic work committment and ensure our son's safety. I was almost certain that my boss would empathize and understand the request. In fact, I was almost 100% sure that she would see my heart as, not just a hard worker- one that loved working with her- but I also knew that she would see my heart as a mother and EMPATHIZE with our situation. Boy, was I surprised. She extended no ounce of love, understanding or empathy towards my personal needs and desire to make sure that I was also here for her as a professional. Quite the opposite, she was very rude and incredibly insensitive. My message was clear with her, and her with me. It seemed so unlike her that it fueled my interest in the scienfic explanations for lack of empathy in certain personality types. Oh, and it also feuled my ass getting another J-O-B stat, but I digress. One lesson I learned: how incredibly important empathy and selflessness is when interacting with those, not just personally but professionally. In fact, in today's digital enviornment,emphasizing the improtance of empathy amongst your teams in the office is critically important to their successes. After all - no one is going to work hard for you if you don't see, and treat, them like human beings. 2011-10-14T19:06:34+00:00 http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/dont-stop-now/ http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/dont-stop-now/#When:14:40:23Z September is Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month - and though we are on the last day of the month, a word of caution to you all... Don't stop now! Never stop trying to help yourself, or someone you love in the uphill battle that is recovery. Take the time to listen, love and learn - it will pay off. Here are a few tips to get you through the next 11 months until we meet September again. Whether your situation involves family, friends or you personally are battling addiction, drug and alcohol abuse is never an easy subject to tackle. Internally, it is debilitating to loved ones who witness their mother, their father, their spouse or child wallows in this state of anguish. What can you do when you are seeking help; that hand from above to simply grant you the grace, wisdom or peace that you need in order to face this matter? Points to remember: 1. First, for those wanting to help someone on the road to recovery, you must realize that it is not your fault. Repeat that every time you begin to cry over the despair you feel for the person you love. This condition that they are in was not mastered by you, and could not have been controlled by you. You can control only your actions; and your actions in this process can encourage the deeper healing necessary. 2. Surrender to the process necessary for not only their healing, but yours. Indirectly experiencing a problem with addiction directly affects you. Admitting that it hurts, and understanding the time and patience required for complete healing is key for both you and your loved one. 3. Treat not the symptom, yet the deeper issues that the co-dependence tried to mask. With any addiction, this did not start as a hobby; this act of trying to mask the pain or problem began long ago, and has merely snow-balled. Know that this addiction could have manifested in many forms, but the deeper issues stay the same. Understand that the issues beneath the surface are what you are helping your loved one tackle. 4. Lastly, simply LOVE. Loving, transparent communication is far more effective than barking orders. Covering that person in love, whether in conversation or through action, is more powerful than you think. 2011-09-30T14:40:23+00:00 http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/talking-vs.-texting/ http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/talking-vs.-texting/#When:01:25:58Z Can I just get an actual verbal, face-to-face response, as opposed to the common text? With the digital age clearly in effect, that is the acceptable form of communication. So, how do we manage this form of communication in a time when the value of person-to-person contact seems to decrease? Understand that these new ways of dialogue, whether Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Text are merely set to enhance our ways of contact, and not replace. It is very easy to confuse the various ways of communicating with the only ways in which we communicate. How is it confusing? Simply due to the means by which we converse with one another is so plenty, that it can be hard to even keep track. Ironic, isn’t it? Even in an age where the ability to connect is diverse, the need  and path to connect seems to narrow. So the trick? 1.) Keep all of the forms of communication in perspective. Know that you should not hold a complete conversation via texting, or dialogue with friends only through Facebook.  2.) Do not forsake the innate need that we have for in-person contact. Yes, it is neat to Retweet your favorite tweet, or make certain that the world knows your every thought via Facebook status. Your digital self, however, is not the complete you. Remember that.  3.)Put your smart phone down when out with friends and family. Difficult as it may be, you will see the value gained in investing in that frontal face time as opposed to investing in your Facebook fans’ every inquiry.  2011-09-24T01:25:58+00:00 http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/the-dsk-maid-speaks/ http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/the-dsk-maid-speaks/#When:20:09:33Z What happens when you accuse the head of the International Monetary Fund and a one-time hopeful for the presidency of France of sexual assault? Why a media firestorm of course! Such is the case with former hotel maid, Nafissatou Diallo – who, after two months of silence has come forward to share her story of harassment at the hands of Dominique Strauss-Kahn with Newsweek and ABC News. After suffering through weeks of speculation and talk surrounding her case, much of it unfavorable, Ms. Diallo has decided to share her story. And as she presents her case to the public – what are we able to infer from her dramatic interviews, vivid descriptions of the attack and tearful trepidations concerning her future? I was asked to examine the tape from her ABC News interview, and give my professional opinion as to whether or not she is being truthful. Despite the fact that prosecutors are beginning to question her credibility and the validity of her statements (she has been caught being untruthful about certain circumstances in her past, as well as portions of her account of the actual event to police) – however, I must point out that just because a person is embarrased and lies to cover up one facet of a story, does not mean that they are lying from beginning to end. Based on this instance, her interview with AMC, it is my opinion that her gestures, tone of voice and emotions are all consistent with a person recounting the truth. Why? When telling the truth, a person’s gestures are demonstrated BEFORE the accompanying word. This is because gestures are, more often than not, an unconscious maneuver. When the gesture matches the words being spoken, and they are coming ½ beat before said word – this is because the speaker’s brain is not working overtime in creating a lie. Everything is organically placed in the statement with words and gestures coinciding in a natural fashion. Typically, a deceptive individual can be identified by displaying several unusual signs in conversation. For instance, leaking contempt (this is a ½ smile, like a smirk) at an inappropriate time during the chat. Uncertainty is prevalent during a lie, with continual shoulder and hand shrugs so pervasive that they are distracting from the conversation. Additionally, we see a lot of “Duping Delight” during the telling of a lie – which is to say the individual will smile, laugh or giggle during a moment that should invoke the feelings of fear, nervousness or anger – NOT humor or happiness. There is one “Hot Spot” we should take note of, however. During the Robin Roberts interview, Diallo is asked if she is a prostitute – as many media outlets have been reporting. Check the clip at 3:19-3:22 to view for yourself. Although Diallo answers “I am not” in response to this question – her head clearly moves up and down in the “yes” formation. This is often a sign of deception, as the brain recognizes the correct answer to be “Yes” and moves the head accordingly, while the individual overrides the brain to say “no” – but they cannot compensate for the natural gesture initiated by their brain. Though most people would feel a simple “NO” would suffice to the question of being a prostitute, Diallo’s more flowery reply is possibly the result of English being her second language. Problems with verb conjugation, proper tenses and more are very common situations when dealing with a non-native speaker. Because we have established a baseline for her behavior, and patterns of speech – I believe that this slip is likely indicative of her inability to speak English rapidly – and not necissarily a sign of deception. However, this situation should definatly cause us to investigate further - because it is highly likely that there is MORE to the story. Additionally, I have to take a bit of an issue with the phrasing of Roberts’ question. Instead of asking, “Are you a prostitute”, a better question would have been, "Have you ever been compensated for sex?" This more generic route of questioning is broader, and covers a wider scope of possibility. In the end - the most telling portion of this interview is when Diallo relays to Roberts that she feels telling her story will eventually result in her death. As she contemplated going forward, after realizing that the man in question was one of the world's most powerful - she is visibly shaken. In her home country, she says, speaking out against such a powerful man would be enough to put a target on your head. Yet, for her daughter and women everywhere - she decided to speak. During this componment of the interview, we see a truly traumatized individual - one who is authentic in her conern for not only her own safety, but that of others as well. As a retired federal investigator, and as The Lyin Tamer - I believe that Ms. Diallo is telling the truth. And nothing but. 2011-07-26T20:09:33+00:00 http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/the-apple-and-the-tree/ http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/the-apple-and-the-tree/#When:21:34:57Z The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far from the Tree If anyone is wondering how the Casey Anthony trial is faring this week – let me tell you – it is not good. Apparently, dishonesty is a family trait. As Casey’s mother Cindy takes the stand, she is exhibiting several markers of an individual engaged in Mendacity – the scientific term for lying. Not with herself; and certainly not with the multitude of lawyers questioning her every thought, move and Google search. Of course, we can all empathize with her situation. Her grandchild is gone. Her daughter is up against the death penalty. Her husband and son stand accused of child abuse and incest. It’s enough to make anyone crack. Or, in Cindy’s case – possibly spin a yarn to (theoretically) save her daughter’s life. Though can we blame her? I’m not certain how I would handle this situation (though I am pretty sure it wouldn’t involve perjury) it’s not terribly hard to imagine how someone so traumatized could view deception as their only way out. In Cindy’s case, the WHY of her deception will likely never be known. Perhaps she is trying to save her daughter, who is innocent. Maybe she is covering for someone else. Could be she believes her daughter is guilty, and feels incredible shame and guilt across many levels. Answering the question of Cindy’s actions, and those of Casey, George and Lee – is ultimately up to the jury. However, years in law enforcement provided me with the skills necessary to detect deception – a set of skills that I am intent on transferring to YOU. I have been asked to weigh in on the events of the Anthony trial for several news programs over the last week. After viewing hours of Cindy’s testimony – it became clear to me that her time on the stand was spent telling numerous untruths. Here, I have highlighted several key “hotspots” in the testimony timeline – big clues that you may have picked up on. Despite the fact that work records prove that Cindy was at work during the time of many of the Google searches in question - but both her verbal and non-verbal deceptive hot spots are off the charts! Problem #1: Cindy never told the prosecutor at the time of the crime that she searched chloroform 84 times!!! Eighty-four times! She tells the jury that she's on medication now and her memory is better – strange, my memory stinks no matter how much Ginko Biloba I take. Other words murder-related searches Googled on the computer: - how to make chloroform - chloroform habit - self defense - Neck breaking - household weapons - shovel - making weapons out of household products -shovel DURING HER TESTIMONY: HOT SPOT #1: Cindy was asked, "Is this something that you recall now that you've changed your medication?" Cindy responds with a stuttering, "I get bits and pieces of stuff that con, con, t, continues to come back to me in my memory." Stuttering is often the brain’s way of attempting to block a lie. As your mind tries to prevent you from uttering a dishonest statement, the mouth keeps going – resulting in a stutter. Researchers presenting to the American Psychological Association in 2009 demonstrated this in their results: that stuttering in liars occurred 1444% MORE often than in truthful statements. Want more?

Of course, this week the big news is Anothony Weiner and his...um, well his weiner. (Sorry - I just couldn't resist!). Yes, another week - another political powerhouse brought to its knees. When confronted initially, Weiner (natch) resorts to the old standby of deny, deny, deny. No, it wasn't him that sent the picture in question - it was a hacker. No, it wasn't him in the pic (though it could have been with the proper photoshop genius). No, he does not know this woman or any others (he's been as faithful as Lassie during his 11 month marriage). Fast forward to this week - and once again - we have the truth spillng out. On national television. In the newspapers. On the internet. The fall from grace is swift and ruthless. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. For most of us - the scandals we enounter in our own lives won't be played out in the public arena - but they will have the same damanging effects on our relationships. Hearts will break. Trust will be broken. Ties will be cut. This is why it is so, so, SO important to pay attention people! Pay attention to the words and actions of those around you to save time and heartache. Just knowing a few key gestures, expressions and facial movements can clue you in to what the other person is saying without saying a word. Think about it - what if you could pick up on your husband's lip pursing - and know that this is often an indicator of underlying stress or internal struggle? Does your teen express sadness with a mouth that turns down every time you bring up school? This morning I tackled this very subject on Good Morning America. Take a peek - let me know your thoughts, and by all means - ask questions! Healthy and happy relationships are the foundation of our society - without them, we are nothing. Learn to make each and every one of your interactions count - and don't be deceived by those that don't deserve your attention.   2011-06-09T14:24:11+00:00 http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/deception-everywhere/ http://www.lyintamer.com/blog/deception-everywhere/#When:19:08:44Z UGH. I am just so saddened by the latest rounds of celebrity conundrums....I mean sure, the antics of folks like Charlie Sheen, Arnold Schwatzenegger and Lance Armstrong certainly give me plenty to discuss, analyze and disect. However, I do think that the proliferation of infidelity, mental illness and drug abuse that appears to be permeating our world is crossing over into our everyday lives. At least, judging by the lack of empty seats at my Detecting Deception classes, lies and dishonesty are problems for people everywhere - whether celebrity or not. In fact, its a trend that I've noticed over the course of several years. At nearly every appearence, lecture or the like, I am constantly asked to expound upon how to detect deception. Whether being asked by a wife who suspects her husband of cheating, a manager that worries his employees are pilfering valuable company resources, or a parent concerned their child is on a path to destruction - I am always moved by their concern and their heartache. Which is why I've not only developed a series of classes focusing on this timely topic - but I am also writing a new book that will delve deep into the skills and knowledge YOU need to detect deception - before its too late. It's clear we are all in need of these valuable skills - its amazing how often we miss the silent cues, the minute details or the evidence that is piling up. There are many ways in which you can protect your heart, your health or your finances - it just takes the desire and the willingness to hone your communnication skills - and put that knowledge to work for you. Stay tuned in the comng months. As we begin our investigations - we will be seeking case studies. We need examples of how ordinary people overcame the deception in thier lives - and I'd be honored to share your trials and triumphs with my readers. Perhaps the story you share could help another person from traveling that same path. 2011-05-23T19:08:44+00:00
