Becky and Sergio Celis 3rd Interview

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.

 

Becky and Sergio Celis on The Today Show

 

When I first look at Becky and Sergio, I immediately notice their demeanor. It stands out to me.  They are both extremely somber and hopeless looking.  There is no urgency in them whatsoever to find their daughter.  Why?  Why have they given up?  It seems they have been this way from day one.  How do you give up if you believe your daughter is abducted and could still be out there?

When Becky first talks, I feel like she is making a conscious effort to talk about her daughter in present tense, and as soon as Sergio slips and uses past tense, he corrects himself. It’s notable.  The last time Becky talked about her daughter, she used past tense, and while that can be a clue to deception, it isn’t always, but the change in her behavior now is what stands out.  You can just feel her thinking as she speaks.  

Sergio doesn’t seem to have a solid last memory of his last time with Isa.  He doesn’t talk about tucking her into bed, hugging her good night, getting her ready for bed.  I don’t hear him have recollection memories like “I didn’t tuck her in to bed that night and I so regret it.”   Instead his memory is one of her walking past him not wanting to eat. He says, “I was asking her…” instead of “I asked her…”.    He doesn’t talk in terms of what he remembers.  His memories are… “She just was …she was…she is…”
Becky does a lot of shoulder shrugging as she is talking, which is showing a lack of confidence in what she is saying. Why doesn’t the woman have confidence in what she should know to be true? That they are innocent, that someone took their daughter, that she is out there and can be found, if people work together and no one gives up!?
For Sergio to say that Isabel doesn’t deserve this is odd.  “Deserve” is a weird word for a child that he believes was abducted. I don’t think any parent would think in these terms if their child was a victim of a crime.  However, if something happened to Isa under their watch which caused her harm, they might use these terms.
Sergio is asked if he believes his daughter is being held somewhere by the Today Show. If you notice, Sergio doesn’t answer the question, but he does say they have a reward ready.  Are you kidding me?  There there has been nothing said about a ransom!  Where does this come from?  Most parents don’t automatically think of a ransom when a child is abducted. This is very strange!!
Sergio says when talking about being looked at in this case, “We do feel sometimes that they’re wasting time with us even though we know we have to be under, you know, scrutiny, absolutely, understandable:   but my goodness, she’s still out there.
When he says this, he actually breaks out into a smile.  How could he ever find that funny?  Most people would be upset if the police were wrongly looking at them.  They also wouldn’t feel that “sometimes” they are wasting time.  They would feel like every time they look at the them, they are wasting time.
Clearly, their answers are not consistent with what they want us to believe.
I also find it odd that Becky only wants “prayers” to bring her daughter home instead of volunteers to search, people to look for their daughter at gas stations, supermarkets, convenience stories. Most moms would say anyone who you think looks like Isa, please call police. No lead is unimportant, but no she just wants prayers.  That is stressed way more than their desire for people to search. Very strange.
Becky specifically says she wants prayers to “bring her…to help us bring her home.”  You almost feel they are asking for prayers for someone to find their little girl’s body, to help them get her home without implicating them so this whole ordeal can be over with.
I have no doubt the parents know a different story than what they are telling us about Isa right now. Very sad.
 

Missing Sierra Lamar

Sierra Lamar went missing on March 16, 2012, from her home in California. She was not seen by any of her friends or on the school bus that morning, but her cell phone was found along the road the following day.  Sierra’s mom, Marlene, has been in the media talking about her daughter’s disappearance, and her emotions and demeanor clearly stand out as inconsistent.

If you watch her in this interview above, she wants us to believe she is sad and worried, but she shows no clear scientific evidence that she is really feeling this way.

I do not believe Sierra’s mom is feeling like she wants us to feel. It’s a notable red flag.

In the interview below with Nancy Grace, Marlene confuses facts and gets very defensive with Nancy Grace when talking about her boyfriend and if he was home the morning Sierra disappeared.  Then she cuts the interview off with a ridiculous line that she had other things she had to do. It’s absolute rubbish!

If finding Sierra was Marlene’s number one priority, she would have stayed on the phone with Nancy Grace, but she didn’t.  It seems her number one priority was taking the questions off of her boyfriend!!  She wanted everyone to believe he was cleared, but as Nancy Grace finds out after Marlene is off the line from the sheriff that no one is cleared.

Why is Marlene so defensive about her boyfriend?  I sure would like to see him speak.  If anyone finds a video of him, please let me know.

I also listened to Marlene recall the last morning she saw her daughter, she couldn’t give us any details of their last encounter. Instead, she recalls the night before.  This is another red flag.

She also is what I would call emotionally turbulent in some interviews. That’s another red flag.

Do I trust Marlene?  I do not.  I believe she knows more than she is telling us.

Tanya Perdomo Speaks about Missing Husband

<a href="http://www.bing.com/videos/browse?mkt=en-us&amp;vid=27e87816-c2fc-4ae9-87e7-4baaf4fdfb0a&amp;from=&amp;src=v5:embed::" target="_new" title="RAW VIDEO: Tanya Perdomo Speaks Out">Video: RAW VIDEO: Tanya Perdomo Speaks Out</a>

Tanya Perdomo’s husband, Jerry, went missing while on a trip to supposedly help a friend in Maine move, says his wife. When Tanya talks about where her husband went and what he went to do–she strangely doesn’t know. I’m not buying it.  She is withholding information, if you want my opinion.

She is very evasive and emotionally flat.

Tanya is very uncomfortable and seems to be thinking as she speaks. She also isn’t showing stress or concern or worry about her husband, which I find odd in this interview.

I question if she and her husband were into illegal activities–hence why she is vague and doesn’t want to talk about things. You wouldn’t go to a press conference and say my husband was doing something illegal, blah, blah, blah. You’d be vague and evasive, just as she is.

Fact checking for this post, I just saw that police have arrested a suspect for Jerry’s murder, though no body has been found. Police believe drugs were involved and that Jerry has been killed. Read more here:

Firefighter was killed in drug related murder

I suspect that Tanya knew what Jerry was up to and where he was going. She may not have known he had an affair and may not have wanted many details, but she knew the purpose of his trip, if you ask me.  

Justin DiPietro: Father of Missing Ayla

Many of you have requested that I review this video and share my thoughts.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to follow this case.  From what I understand to date, Ayla went missing from her father’s home on December 17, 2011 when he was at home with two other adults in the house.

Ayla apparently suffered a broken arm prior to her disappearance, and DiPietro told Ayla’s mother a different story than he is now telling police about how she broke her arm.  And the last development is that police have found blood in DiPeitro’s basement believed to be that of Ayla.

When I watch DiPietro in this interview, I see very little emotion on his face, though I do see flickers of anger and frustration, and indicators of stress.

What strikes me most in this interview is how DiPietro talks about how the night Ayla was supposedly abducted from the house.  He says, “It was (shoulder shrug) just a normal night…there was nothing…I just put her to bed and…just…just a normal night.”

Why doesn’t DiPietro have any details in his memory?  He doesn’t give us anything at all, which is notable to me.  Why isn’t he reliving the last night he had with his daughter?  It begs the question was he even watching her that night?   He also isn’t showing stress and urgency in his plea for his daughter.  He is completely calm, which I find notable.

He licks his lips, which is an indicator of stress and/or nerves.

It’s interesting how DiPietro self-censors himself when he says, “I can tell you what I’m not…I can tell you I love my daughter. I would never do anything to harm my daughter…”  It was like he was going on direction with his sentence, and then he changed directions.  Why did he have a need to self-sensor himself?  I was expecting him to say, I can tell you what I’m not…I’m not a killer…but he stops just short. Was that what he was going to say?  You have to wonder, and why couldn’t he say that, if he is innocent?

Another time, DiPietro also says, “It feels like a helpless situation at some points, but…”  If he truly believes his daughter was abducted, why does he feel helpless?  Why isn’t he organizing searches, banging on doors and looking for himself.  Has DiPietro being doing searches?

While things aren’t looking positive for DiPietro, I need to see more before I can draw any conclusions.  He is clearly on my radar and I think he needs to be looked at further, without question.
