What others are saying...

Thoughts of a Homicide Investigator...(updated!!)

Several years ago, I met "Eyes for Lies" after she profiled one of my homicide cases. At that time, the case had not been to court so I was not able to give many details here.

That changed when David Hawk was found guilty of killing his ex-wife, Debbie Hawk, for financial gain. In California, that mandates a life without parole sentence. Dave is now a resident of the state corrections system.

I would again like to say what a direct hit "Eyes" had for the facts in this case. Her only source of information at that time was an interview she saw of Dave Hawk on Dateline NBC regarding Debbie's disappearance. Debbie's body has never been found.

I feel that someone with this natural gift is far better than anyone who has training.

I've been in Law Enforcement for almost 30 years and would love to have met "Eyes" when I was rookie. Her talent and ability to explain the minute details she spots in deceptive people would have allowed me to put more bad guys in jail.

If Eyes for Lies tells you someone is being deceptive, believe her!

Thanks again for all your help.

With great respect,

"I commend you on your website/blog.  I am a former polygraph examiner and been trained in behavioral detection of deception...I wish they would kick Nancy Grace off TV and put you on instead." 
--Felicia Dieter

"I've become addicted to this site. Now every time 48 Hrs Mystery, or 20/20, or the news has something, I run here to check what you have to say about it!"

Congratulations, Eyes. It looks like you pegged this man [Dave Hawk] correctly some time ago, when an FBI expert thought he was probably telling the truth. -- Sue P

"...Eyes, another brilliant analysis. This is the School of Deception Detection..."
--Chris
 

"You nailed it. Have you ever been approached to appear on MSNBC or CNN as a guest or analyst (because you have the goods, sister)." --Bijan C. Bayne

"Another excellent job of analysis. I always look forward to reading your thoughts and teaching me how to look at these types of interviews with a critical eye and ear. I hope you can teach a course or two on TV sometime, and make some real money from your skills. They are very valuable."
 --John Davis

Eyes, I have read many blogs and none compare to yours. I come here everyday with the excitement of a child to see if you have written anything since my last visit... Your talent is unique and your passion is commendable...

"Thank you so much for highlighting the Janet Christiansen Abaroa case.  I was just so thrilled to find such accurate expertise publicly discussing this case!  It has been out of the public eye for too long, and I feel your contribution (opinion or not) has been earth-shattering. It's amazing, and so precise, down to the micro expressions the rest of us miss, that is, until you point them out.
 
I state that your comments are "earth-shattering" based on mine and my father's reaction.  After coming across your site, I was ecstatic to share it with my dad, who had been in Law Enforcement for over 20 years.  We went through the (Raven’s) interview footage together, reading everything you had to say, and watching his interview, studying your notes as we went along.  My father is a huge cynic (of course, due to his previous profession), but I will tell you his jaw was on the floor as he watched and read what you had to say.  He was in complete awe at what you were able to pin-point…things he had missed himself.  My parents want me to thank you for them.  We are all so grateful you took an interest in this case.
 
You have a gift; a high purpose in this world.  You are helping so many with your innate ability, and giving piece of mind to victims in that there will be justice.  Thank you so much for the ray of hope you offer. Please never cease to offer and share your knowledge/gift with us."  -- Vanessa Pond

 "You got another one. Adam Saleh was found guilty today on all counts but the most serious aggravated murder charge.

...I no longer disbelieve that lies can be discovered through body language."

"I worked with Melanie (McGuire) every day for 6 years and knew her pretty well, and your take on her personality and ability to manipulate people is right on.

I was amazed when I read your comments and opinions on the interview, you really are one hundred percent right in everything you said. She was never an honest person, and never someone I would trust. She manipulates and lies to get her way and there is no doubt in my mind that she is guilty." --Anonymous 

"I found your site when looking for real life lie detectors mostly due to the show Lie to Me...

However, that show doesn't hold a candle to your website - as I just told my husband, it's endlessly fascinating... I can't imagine having your ability and the way you write about the ups and downs really connects with me and I think with humanity in general. Thanks for being so honest on your site - I can't wait to see what you have to say next."   Sincerely, Becky in MA

"I find your website; fascinating. Your intuition; mind-blowing. More importantly, you are a real.

Seriously, I don't think you realize the potential of your skills: It is clearly not limited to truth detection, but there is abundance of social intelligence too. IMHO, you can be greatest saleswoman, negotiator, people person if you are motivated and put ur mind into it." --Tin Tin

"I stumbled on your blog today and I've had an epiphany of my situation. 14 years of lies and yes I've let my emotions and my sole hope for change to continue living in deception. No more. Thanks for the insight." --Rachel
