Drew Peterson’s Subconscious Thoughts?

Read moreDrew Peterson was on a morning TV show in Chicago this week, and said something very damning. When the reporter asked Drew what he told their children about Stacy since she has been gone for over a year, he said, “She’s on vacation still, and she’s not coming back.” The reporter than clarified Drew’s response and said, “Why do you say she’s not coming back?” Drew very calmly said, “I didn’t say she’s not coming back.” It was fascinating.

Drew had no idea he actually said it, if you want my opinion. I think it is a great example of how the subconscious brain works. He spoke from gut here, without thinking, and his true feelings, I believe, came out. Drew is that relaxed in the beginning of this video that he didn’t even think about self-censoring.

Drew then says, “I didn’t mean to say that…she’s ah…she’s on vacation….and (shoulder shrug) we don’t know when she’s coming back.” Here we can clearly see Drew thinking on his feet as he talks. Now, realizing he slipped up, he is self-censoring. Watch how he looks directly at the reporter when he is finished. He is checking out how she is responding to his answer. This is a common trait of people who are deceptive. They want to know if they’ve convinced you, because if they feel they haven’t, they will continue to speak until they feel they have done so.

There is another interesting moment in this video as well, when the reporter mentions what the pastor says Stacy told him and testified to before the grand jury. The reporter says according to the pastor Stacy told him that the night of Savio’s death, she woke up to find Drew gone. He continues, “In the morning, the pastor said Stacy saw Peterson standing in front of a washing machine, dressed in black and holding a bag. Peterson washed the clothes he was wearing, and the women’s clothes that were in the bag, the suit states. He then allegedly told Stacy that he hit Savio in the back of the head, making her death look like an accident.”

The entire time the reporter is reading that statement, Drew is listening intensely. It’s very notable. It appears this is the first time he heard this. The tension in his face and body at this point is incredible. It’s tipping the charts!! Do you feel it? It actually makes me tense and nervous.

Drew responds, “Non…none of that ever happened” and he immediately looks to his attorney to help him. He is notably shook up.

When Drew’s attorney speaks up, look at how Drew stares out into space. He is in shock about this, as if he is stunned that Stacy talked about this to someone, in this great of detail. Why didn’t Drew act all comical like he always does and say, “That’s nonsense!” and laugh, like usual?

I suspect what the pastor testified to is likely the truth, and it rattled Drew to the bone! Watching Drew rattled me to the bone.

Pastor Lane Lawless Video

There is one small snippet of video of Pastor Lawless talking to reporters, where he actually says a few sentences. In this video, Lawless’ wife, Connie, is the one who predominantly speaks to reporters, and Lawless sits on the passenger side of the car and mumbles half the time. I don’t know if he drops his voice, or if the microphone doesn’t pick him up, but I can’t hear him through most of what he says. If anyone does hear what he says, please feel free to type his words below in the comment section.

Read moreWhile this video still does not provide me with enough information to draw any conclusions, I do find it odd how soft-spoken Lawless is when I do hear him speak. I find it odd that he doesn’t want to get out and talk to reporters, and share his thoughts. As a pastor, he is a man who is used to speaking publicly, and with that, we can confidently conclude that he is not a shy guy, so why is his demeanor shy now–especially if he feels the finger is pointed at him and he knows he is innocent? As a pastor, Lawless is used to helping people, so I am surprised he doesn’t want to do that now. At first, I thought this might be due to anger (for being wrongly questioned) and a lack of control over the situation, but when I see Lawless speak, I do not detect any hints of anger whatsoever.

Another thing that bothers me about Lawless is that when he is asked, “Did you have anything to do with Sandra’s disappearance or her death?” he acts like he doesn’t hear or understand the question. Yet he tells us he heard it, because he parrots back what the reporter said. He said, ” Did I have…?” in a very slow, subdued voice. It takes him a few seconds to say, “no”, and he says it without any strong inflection in his voice. It’s notable for me.

Parroting back is a hot spot for me, especially when someone confirms for us that they heard the question. This is often a trait that liars do subconsciously, because they flat out don’t know how to answer the question. If you see after Lawless says that, he looks down and appears confused. Notice how quickly his wife is to respond, “No, no!”. Why isn’t Lawless, himself, that quick to respond? Why does that question cause him to pause? It concerns me.

I also get a sense that Lawless is emotionally a bit despondent at this point, which is odd as well. I could understand upset, or angry, but I am surprised by despondent. Why would he feel despondent? I want to ask him are his church members rallying behind him? If they aren’t, could that be why he is despondent?

With just this little bit to go on, I don’t think it is enough for me to formulate any opinions at this time. Each of the these clues alone might be explainable, as no one clue by itself says anything. It’s only the computation of clues that gives me the best indication. I will only say that Lawless definitely has my interest piqued, quite notably, and I know that I want to see him talk more about this. He is on my radar, for sure. So if new videos come online, please post them below.

Looking for Footage of Pastor Lane Lawless

If anyone sees Pastor Lane Lawless of the Clover Road Baptist Church in Tracy, California, speak out about being interviewed by the police and FBI, please let me know. I’ve seen very brief snippets, but they don’t yield anything as they are too short.

Thanks.
