11 Years of Blogging Brings Changes

blog-long

Did you know that I have been blogging for 11 years this October? It’s true! I’ve been sharing my thoughts on public cases and on people in the media for well over a decade!

My blog averages between 30,000 and 60,000 readers a month (depending on the season and news stories available to comment on).

While I have thoroughly enjoyed writing this blog, I have made a decision. I will no longer be evaluating people or cases in the media going forward. I am available for hire should you have a need for my services.

While many of you know that I travel the country training law enforcement from coast to coast, you may not know that I have also been quietly consulting on cases as well.  I have had a profound effect on people’s lives consulting on cases, and I want to do more of it.

I will, however, still keep the blog going from time-to-time. I will share articles of interest related to the topics of human behavior, deception, emotions, emotional intelligence, facial expressions, and personality identification at zero acquaintance.  You are welcome to submit articles by clicking on my Suggest A Topic link (to the right).

Thanks for sharing this journey with me and I hope you stick around!  You will get updates about my future plans here as well.  I am considering offering public classes in the future, and as I have said before, I am still considering writing a book–so check back here for the latest. While things are changing, it’s certainly not an end.

 

Are You at Risk for Identity Theft?

CV Identity Theft

MSNBC has an interesting article about what can put you at risk for identity theft.  I think the risk factors may surprise you!

Have you recently had a child, gotten divorced or bought a house?  You are at an increased risk for ID theft. 

If you experience any of these life events, you might want to monitor your credit more closely.

Rachel Dolezal

Rachel Dolezal gives me great pause, and I cringe when people say we should look at the good she did and ignore the bad.

Rachel is a manipulative person who seeks attention and limelight, and will lie to get it.

She will tell serious lies to get it.

I do not believe Rachel did what she did for the good of society or for the NAACP, but rather it was only to further her own agenda.

She isn’t even taking responsibility for the lies she told, and goes so far as to essentially expresses that she has been treated inhumanely.

Rachel has filed many complaints with the police claiming not only hate crimes, but she also sued the university that she attended in 2002 claiming discrimination based on race, pregnancy, family responsibilities and gender. And I don’t believe at that time she was claiming to be black.

She is simply out for attention and nothing more. Don’t let her fool you.

 

Duggars Refuse DHS at Door

MSN is reporting that on May 27, the Department of Human Services (DHS) was called to check on one of the minor Duggar children, and when they went to the Duggar home, the Duggars refused access and wouldn’t cooperate.  DHS was then required to call the police for assistance.

InTouch magazine, according to MSN, says this is a repeat of what happened in 2006.

On June 4, 2015, I wrote that I did not believe the Duggars were telling us the truth and a lot has become public since this time strongly indicating the Duggars want you to believe things that are simply untrue.

You don’t hide when you tell the truth.

Amber Peat’s Parents Plead for Her

In the video above, the parents of 13-year old Amber Peat plead for her return.   They came back from a family holiday on Friday, and Saturday afternoon  Amber had a disagreement over chores and left the house.  She was sadly found hanged three days later approximately a mile from the family home, according to news reports.

A reader has asked me to look at the parents to see if I see anything of concern.

When I watch the parents, I see anguish and pain, which can support both sides of the equation here. It could support involvement or non-involvement.  Outside of that, I only see one area I would like to probe to understand the situation better. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a red flag, but something I’d like to get clarification on.

If anyone sees any other interviews with the parents, please let me know.

My heart goes out to Amber’s family.
