Blog Track Record

check

After considerable thought over many months, I have decided to stop keeping score of cases on my blog in a statistical sense.  I will still write about cases, and share my thoughts, as well as keep you up-to-date on the outcome of cases.

I feel this is the best choice for me at this time.

I am extremely proud of my track record to date.  I have clearly maintained a statistically exceptional average over the long duration of 7.5 years.  That’s a feat that stands unchallenged by anyone today.

While I wanted to show my abilities to the public when I first started, I don’t feel I have anything to prove anymore.  I think my history and track record to date speaks for itself.

Thank you for all of your support.  I hope you continue to enjoy the blog!

Arrest in Sierra Lamar Case

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.

Baby Lisa’s Parents: Investigate Fraudulent Charge

It’s been almost eight months after little baby Lisa disappeared.  Her parents are back in the news.  The last public appearance they made was in February on the Dr. Phil show, and they haven’t spoken again until today. 

They talk of wanting police to investigate a fraudulent charge on Jeremy’s credit card that was made on a UK website one month after baby Lisa disappeared, where they allege someone purchased a service where one could change the name of a baby.

In this interview, what I find is strangely missing is any pleas on their behavior for people to look for their daughter!  If they believe she is alive, why aren’t they asking people to look for her?  Why aren’t they identifying her unique features and asking people to keep an eye out for her?  Most parents would be begging. 

I have always found the parents of baby Lisa’s behavior very suspicious from day one.  You can read my original thoughts here.
