Tiffany Hartley on Greta

October 7, 2010/in murder/by Eyes for Lies

Tiffany Hartley is making the media rounds and appeared on Greta. While I didn’t catch the interview myself, a reader, Jo, wrote to me and told me about it. What Jo pointed out was fascinating. When she saw this clip, she noted that Tiffany said, “I turned around to go help him, see if I could get him back on my jet ski and get out of there.”

Read moreBingo. That’s a big hit to what the truth may be. Great catch, Jo!

What is so fascinating is the words “back on my jet ski”. Does this mean that they only took one jet ski that day? It is highly suggestive this is the case. She has a reference for something here that has relevance, I suspect.

This entire interview with Greta is riddled with hot spots. When Greta asks Tiffany what happened, watch Tiffany start out with a big shoulder shrug when she says, “David and I were….” That shoulder shrug tells me that her gut response is “I don’t know”. Why would she not know if she was there?? It signifies doubt. Then she continues.

She says, “We were on the Mexican side, just taking pictures….and were heading back….just (shoulder shrug) had some boats (shoulder shrug) come after us (shrug)…and started chasing us (shrug) and starting shooting at us (shrug). Had several boats bullet going over me and hitting m..behind me and (shrug) I looked back (shoulder shrug) David was hit.”

Notice as she finishes she nods her head yes. She does this a lot. Tiffany is very expressive when it comes to head nods and shakes. Here she is nodding her head in agreement, as if to say that yes, she agrees with what she said. It is a common trait of deceptive people — like a subconscious slip. It’s telling. Tiffany also shakes her head no at times when she says things that I think she knows are untrue. It’s fascinating to watch. She is a particular good study.

What is so notable outside of her wildly active shoulder of doubt is her use of the word “just” and “some”. It minimizes what she is saying, and that is very odd for a victim to do. Her tone of voice and facial expressions are minimal or flat as well. It is clear this woman is not hurt in the least by what happened, which flat contradicts her story. When someone is victimized, people — all people, feel it, deeply.

I found Tiffany’s account of where the jet skis were inconsistent. She keeps telling us she had to look backward to see David, yet she tells us he was between her and the pirates. Then why would she say she had to look backward? She does not seem to have an actual visual memory of what actually happened, if you ask me.

Greta asks if these people got close enough to say anything to Tiffany or David and Tiffany responds, “No, no they didn’t.” If they came up to her like she said in other interviews and pointed a gun as she later says in this interview as well, or as the one witness said she said they yelled in Spanish, she would recall this at this moment. But she doesn’t, which is a gigantic red flag. When we create things, we don’t have a big picture upon which to drawn on. She focuses on the little bits she created and that is why she responds as she does here. It does not support honesty.

I also find it odd when Tiffany talks about the two shots that hit next to her in the water. Every time she tells this story, she repeats the exact same thing. Most honest people would actually give more details, or vary their account ever so slightly as they remember and think back to that day. Tiffany is sticking tightly to her script. It’s another red flag.

I’ve also noticed that Tiffany cries on cue when she talks about David flying over the jet ski. She’s done it on several different interviews. How staged is that? And of course, there are no tears.

At one point she slips and says “my boat” and then corrects herself and says jet ski. I wonder if she was ever on a boat during any of this? It makes you wonder.

Greta asks Tiffany how close she had to get to the boats to go past them. Watch Tiffany’s micro expression smile as she says, “I honestly have no idea.” If you are scared for your life, you know exactly how far because you would try to keep as far away as you could and the minute they would come near you, you would freak!! Her statement that she didn’t even look at them is ridiculous.

I find Tiffany’s answer about what the motive could be fascinating. She says, “Who knows?” If you are a victim, you wouldn’t just spout that off. It would be troubling to you, but not to Tiffany. She is so relaxed and casual, you’d think she was at a tea party!

I am really taken by the fact that Tiffany can’t say the word “killed”…she says “It could’ve turned to both of us dying or me getting kidnapped.” That’s a big hot spot.

I don’t think there is a 15 second window in this video where a hot spot isn’t leaking out, sadly. What a horrible tragedy. I am waiting for the truth to slowly reveal itself… My heart goes out to David’s family.
