George de la Cruz, the estranged husband of missing Julie Ann Gonzalez, failed the polygraph on Dr. Phil’s show last Friday.
Over a week ago, I reviewed audio of George and pointed out hot spots that I saw in his speech, so I am not surprised by the results. I will say I was surprised to hear polygrapher Jack Trimarco state that the polygraph is 93% accurate. I have done a fair amount of reading searching for a qualified study to identify the accuracy of the polygraph, and I have never seen any reputable study state the results were anywhere near that high. My research identified accuracy between 60-70%. I’d be curious to know where Jack got that statistic.
I searched for the latest news on Julie and found that police searched a home in connection to this case last week.
If anyone sees any updates, please let me know.

Here is Sandra Lamb, one of Tonya Craft’s accusers.
Lamb’s emotions are all over the place in this interview. She doesn’t seem grounded to me, which is notable.
Lamb says, “When my daughter said to me that Tonya had abused her that was the last thing that I expected to come out of her mouth, so when the defense said we were after her in some type of witch hunt – that really wasn’t the case.”
The word “really” stands out to me here. She appears to be hedging. I would, instead, expect her to be adamant that there was never a witch hunt. Why isn’t she? Why is she so soft on this response?
If you were accused of creating a witch hunt, and you absolutely did not, wouldn’t you be mad and firm that it was untrue?
Lamb says, “…like I say I have more strength through her [my daughter], I think she’s going to be the one that helps me go forward.” I find this very sad. Lamb is the parental figure and needs to be guiding her child, and not leaning on her! This can cause children all kinds of issues…
You can see Lamb’s true colors when she says about Tonya, ” The devil wears sheep’s clothing.” Watch that wicked grin!
What a horrible role model this woman is for children. She’s teaching hate!
Clearly, in my mind, the jury got this story correct and seeing Lamb only confirms it for me!
I’m devastated to hear that Tonya Craft isn’t allowed to have custody of her own children even after being freed of all charges. That is a HUGE injustice… This whole story is just a nightmare on so many levels!
Thanks, Tara!
When I watch David Cameron speak in the first eight minutes, the body language between the two men is absolutely friendly and open. Both men turn their torso and shoulders towards the other, which suggests openness. They face each other at times, too.
David Cameron’s firm hand is a sign of his seriousness as he speaks. It signifies a tension, I believe, that he wants to get his message across with conviction. You see this further when Cameron makes a fist as he talks to emphasize what he is saying. Clegg also does similar gestures.
Other times, Cameron’s body actually moves slightly up and forward as if he has lifted the heels off the ground. It’s further evidence of the conviction of his statement here.
Nick Clegg listens intently to what Cameron says at 1:42 and when he lifts his head up and back, he is thinking about what Cameron has said. Both look directly at the other one speaking and at times acknowledge what the other has said.
Clegg’s voice has more tension to it than Cameron. Cameron is more flowing, and a better speaker, if you ask me. Clegg brings his emotions into his message, and it gives his speech a tone to it than Cameron didn’t have, but it also shows the seriousness of getting his message across. By his tone, I would speculate that he is more emotionally invested at this point.
Overall, as they spoke, their body language, in my opinion, was supportive of what they were saying and did not conflict their statements or show a dislike for the other person.
Body language is so different than deception detection, yet the two are tightly woven. You really need to have a firm understand of the first to understand the latter, but body language is very fluid. It changes minute by minute, whereas deception, once it occurs, get set in stone and becomes rock solid until a confession is made. Body language, however, may say one thing now and can contradict itself minutes, hours or days later. It can only be counted on for the time it is expressed. It cannot convey long term outcomes or beliefs, as they are subject to change continually.
I stopped my review at 8:00 minutes. If anyone has any interesting segments they saw after that and would like my opinion, please post it below.
Looks fascinating!!
