Carlos Perez-Olivo

This past week, Dateline NBC ran the story of Carlos and Peggy Perez-Olivo. Carlos tells a story of being run off the road and being shot. His wife was shot in the back of the head, and later died. Police believed Carlos staged the whole incident. A jury convicted him for murder, and sentenced him to 25 years to life in prison.

Carlos’ interview on Dateline was very telling. I was trying to determine if the video footage of him talking was shot during the trial or after, and I suspect it was shot after the trial. If this is the case, we would expect the clues to deceit to diminish because the high stakes of Carlos’ lies dissipated, but in this footage, the clues are quite notable.

What clues to deceit did you see when you watch Carlos speak?

Check back later this week for my thoughts.
