Blog Track Record
After considerable thought over many months, I have decided to stop keeping score of cases on my blog in a statistical sense. I will still write about cases, and share my thoughts, as well as keep you up-to-date on the outcome of cases.
I feel this is the best choice for me at this time.
I am extremely proud of my track record to date. I have clearly maintained a statistically exceptional average over the long duration of 7.5 years. That’s a feat that stands unchallenged by anyone today.
While I wanted to show my abilities to the public when I first started, I don’t feel I have anything to prove anymore. I think my history and track record to date speaks for itself.
Thank you for all of your support. I hope you continue to enjoy the blog!

Arrest in Sierra Lamar Case
Sierra Lamar disappeared more than two months ago now in California and has yet to be found, but police have just arrested 21-year-old Antolin Garcia-Torres on suspicion of murder and kidnapping. There is a news conference scheduled for today. You can read more here. I don’t doubt the police have the right guy from what I have read.
I found Sierra’s mom’s behavior very odd when she spoke out about her missing daughter. You can read my original thoughts here. I didn’t believe she was being honest with us, though I have said just because someone is not honest it is does not mean they committed murder. I cannot tell anyone with any certainly what a lie is about as I am not psychic, I can just spot them. This situation has caused me stress when writing this blog for a while now. How do I make this clear, and yet still measure my accuracy? Is it even possible to do? I am not sure it is.
I wonder if the days of keeping score on this blog should end because of situations like this. There will be more cases like this.
I set out to prove that you can spot deception with high accuracy from watching people talk, and I think I have accomplished that goal.
What do you think we should do? Did I miss this case? You tell me. I’m happy to mark it wrong if people feel this is the right option. There is no clear cut answer here.
Baby Lisa’s Parents: Investigate Fraudulent Charge
It’s been almost eight months after little baby Lisa disappeared. Her parents are back in the news. The last public appearance they made was in February on the Dr. Phil show, and they haven’t spoken again until today.
They talk of wanting police to investigate a fraudulent charge on Jeremy’s credit card that was made on a UK website one month after baby Lisa disappeared, where they allege someone purchased a service where one could change the name of a baby.
In this interview, what I find is strangely missing is any pleas on their behavior for people to look for their daughter! If they believe she is alive, why aren’t they asking people to look for her? Why aren’t they identifying her unique features and asking people to keep an eye out for her? Most parents would be begging.
I have always found the parents of baby Lisa’s behavior very suspicious from day one. You can read my original thoughts here.
“Hanging On By My Fingernails” by Janie McQueen
For those of you who are in a difficult relationship, there is an excellent book that has come out that I believe is a must read for you!
With more than 50% of marriages ending in divorce, and more and more women ending up in jail after altercations with spouses and boyfriends, what you don’t know can seriously hurt you. Author Janie McQueen educates women on the perils that can destroy a woman’s life if she is not aware of the laws, the legal system and how it works when couples fight.
If you are unaware, a simple scratch on your partner can leave a permanent mark on your record that can not only scar you emotionally, but it can devastate you financially. Many companies do not want to hire a woman who has an arrest record–think Internet search–forget about a conviction!!
Expert reporter and author Janie McQueen writes not only a riveting story of her time in jail and having the police come to her house believing she was suicidal when she wasn’t – all because her husband was framing her– she teaches you the laws, and what you need to know to be prepared. She also shares the stories of other women who went through exactly what she did, too. She sat in jail all because of a scratch!
Did you know if your kids see you fighting in some states that it is considered “cruelty to children”? It’s true!
Don’t wait until it’s too late for you, and you are scarred deeply by a bad argument or a bad relationship. Get educated, be knowledgeable and be prepared!!
Janie interviewed me for this book and included a section on how to spot a liar. I hope you find this book as interesting as I did!
I sincerely believe it is a must read for all women. Most women have little knowledge about how the legal system works and what you don’t know CAN hurt you.
