Tiffany Hartley’s Big Slip of the Tongue

/in /by

May 10, 2011 on CNN

Tiffany Hartley defies all that we know about emotional understanding as she recalls painful, scary and stressful events the day she saw her husband get killed, yet she is eerily missing any emotional recall.

When people are truly sad, we know they produce oblique eyebrows.  In simple terms, it means your eyebrows knit together into an “A” shape above your nose.   In fear, our eyes widen and our mouth pulls back.  Even months and years after a tragedy, most people will show flickers of true and genuine emotional recall when talking about an emotional experience.

Yet when we look at Tiffany, she is eerily missing genuine indicators of sadness and she doesn’t express any fear.  Tiffany has not displayed them when talking about her husband since his death (in the interviews I have seen).  It’s a notable red flag.  Tiffany shows very few true indicators that she was shocked, stressed, saddened or afraid by what happened.  When we watch her family members, however, the indicators are overly abundant, as we would expect.

People could argue in defense of Tiffany that she is emotionally in shock, but shocked people do not talk so freely about the horrifying details of the event like Tiffany does, because shock means they cannot accept what happened.  Clearly Tiffany can talk about everything, including the bullet hole to her husband’s head that she found, up close and personally.

When people feel genuine emotions, science has identified that we all react the same. We all use the same muscles and those muscles often cannot be voluntarily contracted for most people.  Even more interesting is that when we fake emotions, we don’t realize we are giving away tell-tale signs that we aren’t really feeling what we say we are feeling.

This is a fascinating interview because Tiffany is a classic example of this.  She can recall seeing her husband being shot and killed, and she even recalls having a gun pointed at her and her life threatened, but she has no emotional reaction.  No sadness, no fear, no stress, no anger…nothing. Biologically, it doesn’t make sense unless Tiffany feels something she isn’t telling us.

TIFFANY’S SLIP OF THE TONGUE

Furthermore, in this interview, Tiffany Hartley self-censors herself and what she says is fascinating. It’s a subconscious slip, a leak, if you ask me. She says, “I think it just hasn’t hit me. It just seems like how on earth……did we d– this happen? It just doesn’t seem real. It seems like it hasn’t connected…in my brain.”

Did it not appear that she censored herself from saying, “How on earth did we do this?”

Do this?  What did Tiffany and David do? Did they pull something off? Why would she be leaking this?

I personally (in my own opinion) do not believe Tiffany Hartley has told us the truth about what she knows happened that day.  I have said that from day one and I still will say that I have yet to see one interview with Tiffany that isn’t littered with hotspot after hotspot after hotspot.

Dalia Dippolita on Trial: Off the Chart Defense!

/in /by

Do you remember the case of Dalia Dippolita from 2009?  The newly wed who met her husband when she was working as an escort and then six months after they were married tried to hire a hit man to kill him?

Well she is on trial now and her defense–get ready–will blow you away!  The defense says it was a stunt by Mike Dippolita with the hope that he would catch the attention of someone in reality tv.  Dalia was just waiting for Mike to say it was all a hoax, but he never did!

I will be surprised if anyone buys this, though Dalia’s attorney does a good job at saying this convincingly.

Here is a clip of Steve Kardian talking about the story on TV after this happened. You will see excellent footage of the case and hear interesting commentary.

Dalia does that lovely high-pitched whine I talk about in my training that fake criers often do (think William Walsh).

Reality can’t compare to fiction.

Incriminating Evidence in Brad Cooper Trial

/in /by

Digital Life on Today (NBC Today Show) reported the following with regard to the Brad Cooper trial late last week:

While investigating the murder of Nancy Cooper, who never came back from a routine evening jog in 2008, police in North Carolina working with the FBI’s Cyber Task Force found damning evidence on her husband Brad’s ThinkPad laptop: Google Maps in his browsing history with locations that aligned with where his wife’s body was found.

That doesn’t bode well for Brad, if you ask me.

Read my original thoughts on Brad Cooper here back in October of 2008. Ironically, back then, I was pinged by the fact that Brad couldn’t remember his route the second time he supposedly went to the grocery store that morning…and when questioned why he took a different path, he didn’t answer.

Tiffany Hartley: Six Months Later

/in /by

Tiffany Hartley went to the Colorado capital yesterday to put pressure on public officials to bring David’s body home.It’s been six months since David Hartley was allegedly killed in Mexico while the couple was jet skiing on Falcon Lake, a notoriously dangerous area.

Recalling the past six months, Tiffany strangely says, “It’s gone so fast, I can’t even believe we’re at six months.”

As usual, Tiffany reacts completely different than most people.  Most people when they have gone through a tragedy don’t feel like time has flown.  It usually stands still as they grieve and cope with their loss, but for Tiffany, oddly, time has flown by.  It makes you wonder if she has been having fun? You know the old saying, “Time flies when you are having fun.”  Hard to imagine.

Tiffany has given different accounts of what happened that day in the various interviews she have given and they definitely have my eyebrows raised high. I feel something is off.

I was glad to hear that according to this news report, the FBI says this is currently an ongoing investigation.
