Arrest in Sierra Lamar Case

/in /by

Sierra Lamar disappeared more than two months ago now in California and has yet to be found, but police have just arrested 21-year-old Antolin Garcia-Torres on suspicion of murder and kidnapping. There is a news conference scheduled for today.  You can read more here.  I don’t doubt the police have the right guy from what I have read.

I found Sierra’s mom’s behavior very odd when she spoke out about her missing daughter.  You can read my original thoughts here.    I didn’t believe she was being honest with us, though I have said just because someone is not honest it is does not mean they committed murder.  I cannot tell anyone with any certainly what a lie is about as I am not psychic, I can just spot them.  This situation has caused me stress when writing this blog for a while now.  How do I make this clear, and yet still measure my accuracy? Is it even possible to do?  I am not sure it is.

I wonder if the days of keeping score on this blog should end because of situations like this.  There will be more cases like this.

I set out to prove that you can spot deception with high accuracy from watching people talk, and I think I have accomplished that goal.

What do you think we should do?  Did I miss this case?  You tell me.  I’m happy to mark it wrong if people feel this is the right option.  There is no clear cut answer here.

Missing Sierra Lamar

/in /by

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.
