Bobby Cutts Arrested and Charged
/in Uncategorized/by Eyes for LiesThis evening I had a lovely dinner with my family. We grilled and hickory-smoked some beautiful strip and rib-eye steaks. I must say dinner was divine. But sadly, after my family left and I turned on the news, I was saddened to see that it appears Jessie Davis’ body and her unborn child were found.
I certainly was not surprised by this news as I wrote my eyebrows were raised when I listened to Cutts speak with The Canton Rep on Thursday, June 21st.
Check back soon because I will reveal more clues that gave me pause last Wednesday night when I first heard the audio of Cutts. There were several more clues that queued me in that things weren’t as they appeared. I will share them with you. One of those clues was tone of voice.

Tell me — do you like to see photos when I am short on words and stories on deception detection, or do you prefer I stay on topic instead? Do tell.

John Mark Karr Returns
/in Uncategorized/by Eyes for LiesGreta Van Susteren had John Mark Karr on her show the other night (June 5th). She interviewed him and asked him questions about what has changed in his life. You can watch the interview here. It was during the interview that Karr tries to play the part of a “suspect” again — trying to get the viewer to think he is guilty of killing JonBenet Ramsey.
Greta doesn’t buy it nor do I.
Karr is fascinated with the little beautiful girl that JonBenet was — to the point he appears to want to be connected to her in any way, and at all costs. I suspect suffers from some sort of mental illness. His behavior is not normal.
I think Greta makes a great point about why she interviewed John Mark Karr again. Greta writes the following about the interview in her blog (www.gretawire.com):
Why did I do the John Mark Karr interview? Let me tell you what I found interesting about it: I think it reminds people of something very important in the criminal justice system. Sometimes people confess to crimes they simply did not commit. Often people say when a defendant confessed that he would not have confessed if he had not committed the murder — so he must have committed the murder. After all, who would confess to a crime he did not commit? Well, guess what? As bizarre as it seems, defendants do falsely confess to crimes. This is why we should not convict on mere confessions. We need evidence to corroborate the statement of guilt. There have been people on Death Row for murder based on confessions and then later exonerated by DNA. So, the John Mark Karr interview gives you a bit of a window into this part of our criminal justice system.
It all brings me back to the Ryan Ferguson and Chuck Erickson case. Erickson confessed and based on his confessions, two men are in jail without any evidence to support their lockup. My heart goes out to Ryan Ferguson as I have watched him talk about the crime, and I believe he is innocent.

I called John Mark Karr on his lies before it was known that his DNA did not match the crime scene DNA. See here and here.
