Sergio and Becky Celises 911 call

May 15, 2012/in Uncategorized/by Eyes for Lies

Video Link (You can hear the unedited calls here)

In the phone call to 911 by Sergio Celis, I think everyone can hear that his demeanor is not in line with the events he wants us to believe happened. We hear no fear, stress, anger, panic or emotion in Sergio’s voice whatsoever.

I am also immediately tripped by his words.

Sergio says, “I want to report a missing person.”  There is no urgency is Sergio’s voice whatsoever!  He also says, “I BELIEVE she was abducted from our house.” He BELIEVES? Who would say that in a critical time like this?  If you know something happened, such as foul play, you state it clearly, but what Sergio does here is hedge.  He can’t quite commit to his story: either consciously or subconsciously.

When you listen to Sergio’s son talk to the police he says it like he believes it. He says, “Hey, I need someone to come. My sister’s gone. Someone broke in and grabbed her.”  Do you notice there is no hesitation?

The 911 operator asked Sergio why he thinks his daughter was abducted, and I find this answer perplexing as well.  He says “I have no idea.”  Most parents at this point would be saying “because I found the screen pushed out!!!  Someone broke into my house and stole my daughter.”  But Sergio never thinks of this and thinks in broader terms instead, but most parents at this stage wouldn’t even think beyond the break in at this point.

When Sergio talks, he almost sounds upbeat to me.  His sentences end in positive notes.

When Sergio says about Becky, “I called her and told her to get her butt home,” he laughs sinisterly.  It’s chilling as many of you have pointed out.  This is not a nervous laugh at all. It’s a laugh in the lines of “I got her.”  It further supports my theory that Sergio is a controlling and manipulative man, per my facial profiling.

When I listen to Becky in the 911 call, I hear stress, fear, worry and concern. You can hear the adrenaline in her voice. You can feel her urgency to get to her daughter, yet something happened between this and the first TV interview she did with Sergio.  That urgency was gone.  Why?  What happened between her and Sergio?

When Becky is crying out in a high pitch, and she says the words, “I’m sorry” you can hear her voice quiver.  I hear several quivers which indicate true emotions.

At this point, we know Sergio has been separated from his boys and Becky, and this could be a strategy to get Becky away from Sergio so she can relax and open up.   Let’s hope it works!  I’d be curious to review her interviews to find out if she knows something because her behavior after this 911 call changed dramatically.  Clearly, as I have said before, Sergio holds the key to this case, and poor Isabel’s fate, and it isn’t looking positive.

Becky Celis Talks on Mother’s Day

May 14, 2012/in Uncategorized/by Eyes for Lies

(I lost the link to the video–this is another version)

Becky Celis was seen by reporters outside of her home yesterday on Mother’s Day without Sergio. It is reported that one parent lost custody of the two remaining Celis boys, and I suspect that parent is Sergio.

What is fascinating about this interview is that we see Becky actually showing true stress in her face for the first time at length when she talks. We see a different Becky compared to when she is with Sergio.

As I mentioned when I did facial profiling last week, Sergio’s facial features reveal he has potential anger and control issues. If I were assisting on this case, I absolutely would have investigated this further. And now seeing Becky without Sergio, her demeanor has taken a complete change in direction compared to the other interviews we’ve seen. While she shows more stress in her forehead, she seems oddly more relaxed.

I have to wonder if Becky is afraid of Sergio now. As the police are honing in, I think Sergio holds the key to this case.

Expression of the Day

You can tell a lot about a person by their face.  What can you discern about this man by simply looking at him?

Becky and Sergio Celis 3rd Interview

May 7, 2012/in Uncategorized/by Eyes for Lies

Becky and Sergio gave a third interview to the media at an undisclosed location in the past few days, and this interview, like all of the others, is littered with inconsistencies.

The most notable element of both parents is their lack of urgency to find their daughter. They are as relaxed as a Sunday brunch with friends when I would expect them to be on edge and very stressed considering their daughter has been abducted.

Furthermore, they are emotionally as flat as ice cubes when it comes to expressing fear, sadness and concern, yet they tell us their heart is breaking.   If their heart is breaking, they would be giving us indicators (oblique eyebrows, frowns, tears, etc), but we see absolutely nothing. It’s hard to ignore.  Faces do not lie.

Becky says without any emotions whatsoever, “…we break down every night.  Sorry that we are not breaking down in front of you guys every five seconds.  I am very private.  I am not one to show my feelings in front of people.  You can ask anybody.  I need my friends and family.  I am very closed person. And I cry by myself.  I break down by myself.  I don’t even break down in front of my kids and my husband.  That is my thing, my private — I’m sorry, that is just the way I am.”

Yet when she says this, I see a glimmer of positive emotions as shown below. How can she feel positive emotions in a time like this?

Becky and Sergio were asked if they had any suspects in their minds and listen to Becky’s answer:  “From the get-go, we…I don’t think we ever…eh….I mean, its all been so…(shoulder shrug)…we just don’t understand. We don’t understand who would take her.  There is no reason to take her.”

Becky shows what are called false starts. She starts a sentence in one direction and then change directions multiple times. This means that Becky is thinking on her feet as she talks and changes her thoughts constantly. Becky and Sergio both do this repeatedly through this interview.  Then Becky finally says, “There is no reason to take her.”

I find Becky’s answer odd. There is no reason to take her?  Of course there isn’t, but it doesn’t take long for any adult to figure out why a child could be abducted and none of them are positive, yet they don’t seem to even consider this, which is highly abnormal.

Sergio talks further about who could have taken Isa.  He says, “We literally wanted anyone whose been in our home to go through all the questioning, because yes, how are we going to trust anyone whose been in our home because we really don’t know.”

Its interesting that Sergio is saying they suspect everyone, yet if someone took their daughter out her window, wouldn’t that support a stranger abduction?  Which one do they believe it is? They don’t ever seem to clarify this.

Becky continues that they want everybody… anyone who has been in their house to be held under the same scrutiny as they were.   When Becky says this, she shows disgust.  Why is Becky disgusted?  Sergio continues, “To be held under the same scrutiny as us.”

If you notice, they don’t want people questioned to get to the truth.  Instead, they make it clear they want people scrutinized just like they were.  That seems to be most important to them.  It’s very odd.

Parents of abducted children could careless about being scrutinized about the missing child so long as police hone into the right direction, and Sergio acts like its no big deal to them, yet Becky shows clear disgust when talking about this.

What these two say versus what they express emotionally are two different animals!

Sergio goes on to says, “And now its giving thanks to the community”.  Giving thanks?  This really flags me.  No one has found Isa!!!  How can you thank people before you get results?  Most parents of missing children don’t think about thanking anyone until they find evidence and get an outcome. It’s the furthest thing on their mind until they get answers!  They continue to beg for help and they don’t want people to think they’re done and finished with a thank you!

It’s like these two don’t seem to need answers, do they?

Becky is asked and talks about the funding that is being raised for Isabel. She says, “We’ve asked that it goes straight to them, to find Isabel. I mean we’re okay, financially, we will make it.  We’ve made it through worse, and uh, financially, and uh, there’s no…we’ll make this though.  What we want is all the effort towards Isabel, finding Isabel” and this point she shakes her head no, and gives a blended contempt disgust expression!!!

I was blown away!!! See a screen capture below.

Furthermore, if you notice Becky says they’ve been through worse? REALLY?  Then she corrects herself by saying financially.  Becky is self-censoring herself. Why does she feel the need to do this?

Why does Becky have such contempt and disgust about money being used to find Isa?  This disturbs me.  Its like she doesn’t want people searching and looking for Isa nor for the money to be spent, or she is disgusted and contemptuous at the reporter, but why?

Sergio then talks about the ransom and gives us many false starts when he says, “I wanted to be clear that nothing had been mentioned…there was no, you know…….I wanted….if there were demands, please let us know something…let us know something.  Why is this happening? What is the reason behind it? And the fact that nothing has been mentioned about that–that’s why we’re even reaching for that. It’s like they’re not even mentioning anything….as far as a reward, or anything like that.  And even the reward money when we were first saw it and 88 crime put up their reward, and to this day everything as far as we know is an anonymous donation.”

Does that even make sense to anyone?  Sergio is talking nonsense in all directions, isn’t he?  What’s up with these two?  Ransom and reward money are two different things!!! And he suggests he is reaching for a ransom.  What?

I can’t believe they laughed at what ransom money they would have when asked.  “I guess we could get rid of our cars and our house,” says Sergio.  He guesses? Would you ever say that?  Most parents would say if this comes down to a ransom, we will come up with whatever money is necessary! Or they wouldn’t even entertain this concept, but these two make you feel like they wouldn’t give up a dime for ransom, don’t they?

It seems they want a ransom, but none has been mentioned.  Why would they even entertain this?  It seems absurd to me.

I do not believe Becky or Sergio at all. I think they feel very differently than they are telling us.

Photo of the Day

May 4, 2012/in Uncategorized/by Eyes for Lies

Mr Pierce

I absolutely love looking at people to see what I can discern from their attire, facial expressions, facial features, demeanor, etc.  If we are cognizant, we can actual glean a lot of information about a person before a word is ever spoken, and this information is usually quite reliable.

This man is fascinating.  He is in a photo taken by a stranger and he doesn’t crack a smile.  The photographer wrote that he saw the man sitting outside a bar in the U.K. and just asked if he could take his picture and the guy said yes, and then afterwards, the man in the photo bought the photographer a drink.

He shows a serious side by his expression, and yet his attire is anything but serious, if you ask me.  It is very flamboyant–almost over-the-top, if you will.  His attire makes a bold statement that this man is willing to push the envelope, he is willing to step outside of societies expectations, and that combined with the flamboyancy of his clothing, we can speculate he is a man who likes attention.  We can further support that by the fact he let the guy take his photo and then bought him a drink.  He wanted to talk to a man who was interested in him!

His posture, jewelry and attire also suggest a bit of self-admiration. This man could be slightly arrogant, and perhaps insecure. He likes to portray a serious face that is somewhat foreboding:  “Don’t mess with me”  Yet he gives mixed messages with his clothing.  His attire tells me he’d crack a laugh without too much effort, and probably is quite the jokester.

I call what I have done here facial profiling. Science is researching this and finding that people do thin-slicing quite well and accurately.  Read more here.
