True Story

/in /by

Imagine you live rural, and you get a phone call.

(((Ring, ring)))

It’s your neighbor friend. She says hello and then you say hello. Then she starts talking…

“How are you? I’m just calling because I found out something you might want to know about. I guess there have been 24 robberies in the neighborhood very recently — so recently it hasn’t made the news yet. You know, it takes 10 days or so for the papers to get the story published.”

She goes on, “I’m really afraid. I went out and bought some security equipment.” She explains the equipment to you, and tells you how vulnerable she feels living alone.

“They say it is two black men, and they break in during the day when no one is home. They don’t break windows or anything — they take entry via open doors and windows. They take cash and jewelry and prescription drugs. They also wear gloves and a hat.”

You can tell she is concerned. You live in an area where there are lots of vacant vacation homes. She continues, “I found out about it from my neighbor who lives right next door. She went to an association meeting where they discussed it. Be safe, okay?”

Is your friend telling you the truth, or a lie?
Why do you say that?

Word Nuances

/in , , /by

It’s amazing how word order in speech (and even in writing), word groupings, word choices and voice influctuations can affect the meaning of what we say. It’s not uncommon for me to use this information to determine information about someone. It is precisely what can point me in the direction that perhaps someone is lying. While sometimes I can see the lie directly, other times it is the word order than provides me with a hint to look further. Word order that is not normal or accurate is one clue that can hint at deception.

Take for example John Karr and what he is saying. He says, “I killed JonBenet Ramsey. I love her.”

He loves her, yet if he killed her, wouldn’t he say, “I loved her.” Past tense? You see when people lie, they don’t always cover their tracks 100% because they don’t think through every detail. They don’t come naturally.

Last night, I heard someone say, “He keeps his yard up. He isn’t the pig.”

What can you glean from that statement? Anything?

You can’t spot a lie in the second statement, but you can read into. You can pretty much surmise that whoever said that believes that while this guy isn’t the pig, SOMEONE ELSE IS. Someone else is the pig. Perhaps that would also suggest that this person is picky, neat, precise… clues to put in your cap which may point out inconsistencies down the road. If this man later told me that he is a slob and order doesn’t matter — I’d know better.

Little word nuances: They can have big impact.

John Mark Karr

Case Summary:
John Mark Karr confessed to killing JonBenet Ramsey, daughter of John and Patsy Ramsey ten years after her death. John and Patsy Ramsey have adamantly denied any involvement in the murder.
* * *

Karr is supposed to return to the U.S. today and we’ll hopefully soon get our answers about this unique and odd individual.

Many people have come to my website to check and see if I believe Karr when he says he killed JonBenet Ramsey, he was with her when she died and it was an accident.

I do NOT believe any one of these three statements made by John Karr. I believe he is knowingly deceiving people though I do not believe this man is mentally healthy.

I think Karr fixated on JonBenet years ago, and I believe he has become so fixated on her that he wants in anyway to be associated with her — even if it means confessing to a crime he did not commit. He just wants to be part of JonBenet, positive or negatively – it doesn’t matter.

When Karr speaks to the media, he is unable to answer any important questions. He stutters for words, moves his eyes in ways that shows he has to consciously think before he speaks to say the “right things”. None of Karr’s words come naturally — which they would if he was telling the truth. A killer who confesses and would finally want this done and over with — would give some true signs that he was the killer. Karr cannot do this.

Furthermore, Karr shows he is very nervous, and he flashes tiny expressions of glee which I believe represent the glee that he feels because he is actually getting away with this. It thrills him. This expression furthermore tells me that John Karr knows he is lying. He knows he didn’t kill JonBenet — at least during these interviews. If Karr suffers from delusions however, that state of mind may change and there may be times when he believes he killed her.

I also found a statement made by John Ramsey unique. His comments about Karr were something to the effect we shouldn’t jump to conclusions — until all the facts are in. Ramsey stuttered while he said it. This also raised my eyebrows. Does he know this man is innocent?

Hopefully, DNA and other evidence will clear this guy, and he won’t be made to be the fall-out guy. This man definitely needs psychiatric help.

Weird Statement – Red Flag

/in /by

Case Summary:
John Mark Karr confessed to killing JonBenet Ramsey, daughter of John and Patsy Ramsey ten years after her death. John and Patsy Ramsey have adamantly denied any involvement in the murder.
* * *

The big news today is the break in the JonBenet Ramsey case. Have you heard?

Supposedly, “John Mark Karr, 41, will be taken within the week to Colorado, where he will face charges of first degree murder, kidnapping and child sexual assault, Ann Hurst of the Department of Homeland Security told a news conference in Bangkok.

…Karr confessed to the killing after his arrest Wednesday at his downtown Bangkok guest house by Thai and American authorities, said Lt. Gen. Suwat Tumrongsiskul, head of Thailand’s immigration police.”

However, I found one thing odd about what Gen. Suwat is saying Karr said. Does anyone else find this interesting?

Suwat says, “… Karr told Thai interrogators that he picked JonBenet up at her school and brought her to the family’s basement. He said he loved this child, that he was in love with her. He said she was very pretty, a pageant queen. She was the school star, she was very cute and sweet.”

Wait a minute? Isn’t this odd?

According to the story that has been in the media for a decade JonBenet did not go missing after school! She was kidnapped from home on Christmas.

I just wanted to point out a red flag… It raises my eyebrows, and makes me want to look at this guy closely. While this red flag may mean nothing more than this guy is crazy and nuts — and did kill JonBenet, it could also be a sign he is lying.

Lloyd Landis

/in /by

I have been asked to give my opinion on Lloyd Landis (below). Do I think Lloyd Landis is being honest — that he did not in fact dope up?

I do not believe Lloyd Landis.

While he gives a cold stare in to the microphones and video interviews, trying to talk in a control manner and lacking much expression — his answers to questions are poor at best, and his weak-toned voice supports a lack of confidence. That coupled with the logic of two failed tests makes me about 85% confident that Mr. Landis is not being honest.

I personally think Mr. Landis is in denial. He cannot accept being stripped of his title. He can’t deal with it because he himself thinks he is an exceptional athlete regardless. He is trying to convince us all, as well as himself with excuse after excuse as to why it is possible these two tests failed us.

I’m not buying it.
