My Thoughts: Jessica Del Rocco

I absolutely believe Del Rocco is telling us the truth about her experiences with Ray Clark. She is genuine, authentic, and a tad bit nervous, which makes sense for her considering this is likely her first time on national TV.

I can see how people who specifically look for clues to deception would question Del Rocco. You see her smiling at odd times, she is nervous and even tense. She swallows awkwardly, shrugs her shoulders, hesitates, and doesn’t answer all the questions. She even smiles when she says she doesn’t want to talk about some things.

That’s what makes deception detection so interesting to me. How do we know she is being honest?

Read moreFor those of you who said she was honest, what gave you that impression? How do you distinguish honesty from deception, because it is clearly not the clues that help us in making a determination, because if we looked for clues, she gives some good ones. I suspect that is why some people (37% of those polled) were unsure and unable to decide. Am I correct for those of you who were torn?

When I look at someone, I get an immediate intuitive sense of them. When I say intuitive, I suspect it is my subconscious brain that is analyzing things I am not consciously aware of, but it communicates in simple terms to me. Like when we almost get run off the road, but move in a split second, and that move saves our life. You don’t communicate with your primitive/intuitive brain, “Oh danger. What do I do? Do I turn left? Oh, I won’t make it. Go right!! No, turn left. Now!” If we did that, we’d be dead!

Instead, our intuitive/primitive brain keeps the decisions that must happen at lightening speed quiet, and instead instinctively makes us react and that saves our life. For me, I think my intuitive/primitive brain is working all the time, and I am attuned to it more than most people.

With Del Rocco, I can honestly say that her face gave me immediately comfort. I’ve learned I have what one could call intuitive sense of people by just looking at their face. The problem with it, while I have come to understand it, is that it is not something easy to explain because it is very complicated and I am still learning from it. I think I am learning to create a pathway of understanding between my conscious thoughts and my unconscious thoughts.

With this intuitive sense of someone’s personality, it doesn’t tell me if they are honest or deceptive, but it gives me a framework of understanding about who they are. Del Rocco’s features identify she is normally a down-to-earth person, who is honest and says things like they are. So if she were to act all arrogant and conceited, I’d have an immediate red flag that something wasn’t right. Does that make sense?

When I look at Del Rocco, I get an intuitive sense that it is hard for her to self-censor herself, because she is used to saying what is on her mind, but I suspect the police asked her to do this for this case, which if I think about now, would likely explain why those behaviors didn’t set me off as red flags when I watched her. This is quite complex and I’ve never tried to explain it before.

I don’t know how I know this, but I am confident in it. This combined with her authentic-ness, and lack of inconsistencies is what helped me know that she was, in fact, honest, and that I could trust my “intuition”. And my very last thought as I watched this video was, what would her motivation be to lie anyway? I couldn’t come up with anything.

That is true, deep honesty about what I think about when I look at cases, but I have held back because I don’t want the “pyshic crew” to come jumping all over me. I am not psychic. I think I have tapped into my subconscious brain more than most people, and I suspect I do it naturally, due to how I am hard-wired. My own personal opinion is this is what gives me an edge at understanding human behavior, and deception detection.

Ratings and Stars

Objects As Metaphors

Many of you have expressed confusion over how to use the rating system below each post, and I can appreciate that. What are you rating seems to be the big question.

Read moreFor me, I personally put the rating system there for you, my readers, to judge what you think of each post. Essentially, I am looking for feedback if you like what is being covered by ME, and how I covered it. Do you like to be given an opportunity to root out the truth for yourself first? Do you like to vote on topics? Do you like deception articles? Do you like video reviews?

Then, do you like my review, my comments, my thoughts, my approach?

Some of you have informed me that you vote low when you don’t like the content covered. For example, when I wrote about MacKenzie Philips, some of you were not happy with “Mac’s” confessions, and hence gave it a low score. I am most interested in if you like what I am contributing to the mix.

The reason I have the rating system is to make sure you like what I am doing and what I am covering. That is what I would love for you to rate. If you I get continually low scores on putting up a video for you to determine the truth, I will stop doing that, and I will just share my opinion.

If I get high scores for giving detailed video reviews, I will continue to do them.

The stars are there for me to get feedback about what you like, and what you don’t. You can read about all of this stuff without me. I want to know if you like what I have to contribute to it 🙂

Does this help? If you need more clarification, don’t hesitate to ask below. Thanks!

The more people who vote, the more we will get a good solid opinion of what people think. Thanks for all of your support!!

1,000 Posts Today/ 5 Year Anniversary Coming

Today, I reached a milestone. I’ve published 1000 posts! I’ve essentially written a huge book, haven’t I?

I will reach another milestone in less than a month. This one is very exciting for me, yet unnerving to say the least. On October 24, 2009, I will have been blogging for 5 years and I have not missed a case that I am aware of to date in the five years I have been writing.

I’d like to find a rocking way to celebrate, and get my name out there more. Do you have any good suggestions for me? I really want to celebrate this milestone!! No offense, but I don’t want to continue another 5 years like this. I want to reach more people and get my message out there. Can you help me? I would be so grateful.

On another hot topic, MacKenzie Philips, and her book “High On Arrival”, one reader named Lou pointed us to a comment from a psychotherapist in the Amazon forum for the book. If you scroll down and find her name “S. McQueen”, she has some interesting points about the book. It was a great read. Thanks, Lou.

Lou’s comment reminded me that I forgot to write my thoughts that I found it very strange that “Mac” said that she was surprised that people found the incest this controversial. This makes no sense at all for a victim to say because they are usually the most traumatized by it once they accept what happened to them. McKenzie wants us to accept it, but then she doesn’t. This flat out doesn’t make sense. Does she consider herself a victim and her dad the perpetrator, or does she still and idolize/love her dad? If she still loves her dad, would she want this secret out there? Really? I mean there is no worse way to defame your father. It doesn’t jive. I’m leaning here slightly, but I am still not ready to make any definitive call.

Did you watch “Lie to Me” last night? I have to confess, I haven’t. It’s still on my DVR.
