- 0:00susan smith
- 0:02has been arrested
- 0:03and will be charged with two counts of
- 0:06murder
- 0:07in connection
- 0:08with the deaths of her children
- 0:10michael three and alexander 14 months
- 0:13today we're going to talk about susan
- 0:15smith and she went to prison for
- 0:17murdering her two children by putting me
- 0:19in the leave me in the car and push them
- 0:21down and ramp into a lake and they drown
- 0:23so it's tough finding videos on these
- 0:25but greg tell us what you found
- 0:27yeah so most of these videos occurred
- 0:29during the nine days that she pretended
- 0:31someone had hijacked her car or
- 0:33carjacked her and taken her children
- 0:35tied in two back seats
- 0:37and she actually pushed them down a boat
- 0:39ramp and they died in the car and were
- 0:41found later after she confessed this
- 0:43video as scott said is not the best
- 0:45quality video but it's all there is and
- 0:47this is a case that's 20 years old we've
- 0:49had many requests for this every time we
- 0:52bring up a murdering mother this one
- 0:53comes up
- 0:54okay sleep okay i can't do anything but
- 0:58think about them
- 1:00and
- 1:03i just wanna come separate
- 1:06and tell them i love greg what do you
- 1:08got
- 1:09yeah so right off the beginning of this
- 1:11it might be true that she wants to hug
- 1:13them she wants to do this she wants to
- 1:15do that but she's eye blocking
- 1:17there is not a single
- 1:20bit of grief there's no concern nothing
- 1:22in the forehead there's no snot no tears
- 1:24it's the worst kind of fake christ scott
- 1:26i'm so sorry you really don't like what
- 1:28i did that's all it is this is garbage
- 1:32chase what do you got
- 1:33yeah i groovy so this eye closure is not
- 1:36from the crying
- 1:38this is exactly what you just said greg
- 1:40this is avoidance
- 1:42there's no movement here in the chin
- 1:43boss which we always see when we see
- 1:46shame and and grief
- 1:48there's a hygienic gesture during the
- 1:50crying
- 1:52and it's not
- 1:53to wipe tears which is very unusual so
- 1:57adjusting your hair while crying uh
- 1:59doesn't look very good so she's kind of
- 2:01just pushing her hair back there that's
- 2:03what we call in the behavior business a
- 2:04hygienic gesture
- 2:06and she said i just want to hug them and
- 2:09she has uh had a tough childhood and i
- 2:13think
- 2:13there's a baton gesture she does with
- 2:15her hand as she's talking her hands back
- 2:18here
- 2:19[Music]
- 2:20i think it's her left hand and
- 2:22what something that we always look for
- 2:24is things that don't line up scott talks
- 2:26about this in a lot of the other videos
- 2:28when a gesture doesn't really match up
- 2:30with a person's phrases
- 2:32uh the desmond morris called this a
- 2:34baton gesture
- 2:36and what i think is interesting here is
- 2:38that the gesture doesn't match up with
- 2:40anything that's going on it doesn't
- 2:41match up emotionally
- 2:43tonely like with the tone of her voice
- 2:46or the cadence or the words that she's
- 2:47saying
- 2:49so i would like to invent a new uh a
- 2:51name for what we're seeing here where it
- 2:53doesn't match up with anything and just
- 2:54call it gesture arrhythmia
- 2:57so okay i called it uh
- 3:00illustrator non-alignment or something
- 3:03like that word alignment in there for
- 3:05those very so it's close
- 3:06very good fast
- 3:08i think this is uh
- 3:10this gesture isn't associated with
- 3:12sadness or grief or loss or anything
- 3:14there
- 3:15and
- 3:16that's all i got for this video mark
- 3:18what do you see yep so uh i agree there
- 3:21is what i would call incongruence but
- 3:24but i think you're talking about some
- 3:25extreme incongruence where it just
- 3:28doesn't really match up with anything so
- 3:31uh misalignment arrhythmia i think
- 3:33they're all good descriptions of that
- 3:35here's what jumps out at me
- 3:37i i i
- 3:39them
- 3:40then the grooming that you were talking
- 3:42about there i them them i so there's way
- 3:45more eyes than them
- 3:48they're they're a
- 3:50collective there's not even any names of
- 3:52the children so it's very
- 3:53egocentric at this point the male is
- 3:57very different from the female different
- 3:59rhythm going on not joining in with this
- 4:02this crying you know even if it is you
- 4:05know kind of fake he's not even joining
- 4:07in not joining him with anything real or
- 4:09fake here and i think he gives a sour
- 4:12taste in his mouth as well so i think
- 4:14there is some strong differences between
- 4:16the male and the female here female here
- 4:19very self-centered in the description
- 4:21there and the grooming
- 4:23as you say chase is just it's just not
- 4:25applicable in this situation
- 4:28at all uh
- 4:30scott what do you got on this one
- 4:32all right she's moving really slow this
- 4:34lets us know that she's there's a lot
- 4:35going on up here she's thinking through
- 4:37what she's gonna say she she doesn't
- 4:39really she's not really experiencing
- 4:40these emotions so we're not seeing them
- 4:42on her face she's she's showing us what
- 4:44she thinks we that we want to see or
- 4:47should be seeing at this point when you
- 4:49compare susan with her husband
- 4:52do this throughout all these videos when
- 4:53he's in there too dramatic i remember i
- 4:56remember when this happened and i
- 4:57remember when she got busted or soon
- 4:59before she got busted because the we'll
- 5:01see a video
- 5:03i'll i'll tell you that story when we
- 5:05get to that video because it's it's
- 5:07i'll never forget i'll never forget that
- 5:09day um and everything is based on feel
- 5:12sorry for me it's all about me and and
- 5:14and just feel sorry for me i you're
- 5:16right marcus i me
- 5:17it's all about me at this point and when
- 5:19you turn the sound off
- 5:21as you'll see in all these videos if
- 5:23you'll do this she looks like she's
- 5:24retiring from a job somewhere or she
- 5:28these are the same faces you see in the
- 5:30same emotions you don't see
- 5:32that you're not saying when someone's
- 5:33retiring or someone is
- 5:36leaving a job and they're telling
- 5:38everybody goodbye that's what it looks
- 5:40like it doesn't look like somebody who's
- 5:41grieving over their children
- 5:43and it doesn't look like that at all the
- 5:46stress we're seeing is is when she's
- 5:48moving slow and not looking up the
- 5:49camera
- 5:50and not connecting with anyone
- 5:52so these are all we're all we're seeing
- 5:54a bunch of stress on her rightfully so
- 5:56because she's not telling the truth here
- 5:58but she's sort of creating this i i
- 6:00think she had a pretty good idea of what
- 6:01she was going to say but that was it i
- 6:03don't think she rehearsed this at all
- 6:05when she get when it before it came down
- 6:07to uh game time for showtime for
- 6:09all right scott i disagree with one
- 6:11thing you said fully
- 6:13there's a lot going on in her head i
- 6:15disagree
- 6:18okay i stand corrected i can't sleep
- 6:21okay i can't do anything but think about
- 6:24that
- 6:25and
- 6:28i just want to hug him
- 6:31and tell him i love
- 6:35all right
- 6:37i want to say to my babies
- 6:39[Music]
- 6:41your mama loves you so much
- 6:43and your daddy these whole families love
- 6:45you so much
- 6:48and you guys have got to be strong
- 6:52because you are
- 6:53we
- 6:54i just know
- 6:55i just feel in my heart that you're okay
- 6:58but you got to take care of each other
- 7:02and your mom and dad are gonna be right
- 7:04here waiting on me when you get home
- 7:07i'm gonna go first on this one because
- 7:09it goes back to that video
- 7:11our last uh video when i was telling you
- 7:13about
- 7:13uh something happened when this happened
- 7:16when this video came out there are two
- 7:17versions of this video we i couldn't i
- 7:19spent all night last night looking for
- 7:20the second version of it it's a wider
- 7:22shot of everybody and it's got family
- 7:24members and other people in it and she's
- 7:26talking her eyebrows are up look at
- 7:28everyone else they show concern their
- 7:30eyebrows are down like this they're
- 7:32they're thinking oh my no you know my
- 7:33lord what's happened
- 7:35that's when my this is before we even
- 7:36had cell phones you know or before i had
- 7:39one anyway my phone started ringing and
- 7:40it was everybody i knew going did you
- 7:42just see that on did you just see that
- 7:44on the news did you see uh susan smith i
- 7:46was like yeah we're all like holy smokes
- 7:48man she's going to the pokey because she
- 7:50did this
- 7:51and when you when you watch this again
- 7:53when you when you watch the replay at
- 7:55least look at her husband that's really
- 7:56the only one you can see in here look at
- 7:57his eyebrows that's what her should be
- 7:59doing showing concern she shows no
- 8:01concern and again this is all about her
- 8:04the content is all focused on her on me
- 8:06on i listen to what she's saying
- 8:09no brow no brow movement in there no
- 8:11no expressions really of anything
- 8:13nothing much moving at all
- 8:15um
- 8:18and there's no plea to kidnap her you
- 8:21know and she's telling these little
- 8:22children one of them is three and the
- 8:24other one is a year and a half and she's
- 8:25saying look take care of each other
- 8:27really have you ever said that to a
- 8:30a three-year-old and and the other one
- 8:32you two take care of each other are you
- 8:33kidding me if they saw it you know your
- 8:35mother's gonna nah
- 8:36she
- 8:37no she stepped in here so um no anger no
- 8:41nothing we're seeing none of the
- 8:42emotions or expressions we should be
- 8:44seeing here so that's allah and her eye
- 8:46especially with her eyebrows they
- 8:48shouldn't be up they should be down she
- 8:49should be
- 8:50focused and telling whoever's got her
- 8:52children that they're going to find him
- 8:54and
- 8:55they need to bring him back that's what
- 8:57should be going on there okay chase what
- 8:58do you got
- 9:00even even better i fully agree with that
- 9:03she met this alleged person who did this
- 9:06she spent time with this person face to
- 9:09face
- 9:11so that even makes it a worse case for
- 9:14the vanishing perpetrator
- 9:16and what we're seeing here there's
- 9:18showing of this more eye contact
- 9:20avoidant behavior which is what she do
- 9:22what she's doing this is not avoiding to
- 9:24stop herself from crying at all
- 9:26and i think it's interesting to note
- 9:28that she does this while she her eyes
- 9:30are staying at kind of five o'clock
- 9:32because you can see where her eyes are
- 9:33looking
- 9:34uh at a certain direction there which
- 9:37suggests internal dialogue and not any
- 9:39emotion going on
- 9:41and
- 9:43when does the chen boss move it moves a
- 9:45couple of times here it moves when she's
- 9:47talking about herself and how good she
- 9:49is as a mother
- 9:52and while she's saying a lot of this
- 9:53stuff we have lip licking
- 9:55there's uh right at the end here lip
- 9:57licking there's lip retraction
- 9:59lip licking is to make ourselves look
- 10:01brighter lip retraction is typically a
- 10:03need for reassurance
- 10:05right there at the end
- 10:06and there's a complete lack of emotion
- 10:08so i want you to go look and see what's
- 10:11missing here if if a person if she had
- 10:13met and witnessed a person take her
- 10:15children
- 10:17what's really missing from this
- 10:18conversation what's being hidden and
- 10:21this is what's being hidden from this is
- 10:23the perpetrator so when there's data
- 10:24being hidden
- 10:26that's a huge red flag it should be for
- 10:27anybody uh greg what do you think
- 10:30yeah i'll take it a step further she
- 10:32didn't just meet him she described him
- 10:35even had an artist draw a picture and it
- 10:37was all bs it was all made up but here
- 10:39we see no grief no concern she stumbles
- 10:42through words because she's trying to
- 10:43think of what to say i interestingly
- 10:45scott you say her brows aren't down
- 10:47they're up but they're not even up
- 10:48they're just flat they're emotionless
- 10:50that's even worse if she was going like
- 10:52this or shock or something we might feel
- 10:54good about it the only time i see any
- 10:56concern in her brow at all is when she
- 10:59says i know you are okay and her brows
- 11:02do something odd you get a little flash
- 11:04of something right between her brows
- 11:05because she knows he isn't now we often
- 11:07will talk about lipping a lip licking
- 11:10and that but desmond morris talked about
- 11:12something called a tongue jet and he
- 11:14said it's baby's first way to reject
- 11:16something or something distasteful to
- 11:17push out we're going to see her do the
- 11:20morris tongue jump not just this time
- 11:21but other times too when she talks about
- 11:24your mama and your daddy and she goes
- 11:26like that that's a that's a morse tongue
- 11:29all day
- 11:30then she bites her lip as she
- 11:33draws it back in and i think that might
- 11:34be containment or an adapter this is
- 11:37ugly this is there's nothing good in
- 11:39anything she's doing and to your point
- 11:41scott the husband looks just like he's
- 11:44out of touch with everything now he's
- 11:45also they're estranged before she does
- 11:47this one thing you should know is they
- 11:49believe that the reason she disposed of
- 11:51her children is because somebody she had
- 11:53had an affair or at least a starting
- 11:55relationship with didn't want children
- 11:57sound familiar mark what do you get
- 12:00uh yeah i'll tell you what's missing for
- 12:01me uh chase and you know whatever's
- 12:04missing for all of you and you know put
- 12:06it down there but um it's all i block as
- 12:11far as i can see so there's zero from
- 12:14this angle for me there's zero eye
- 12:16contact with that potential audience who
- 12:20might have information on where her kid
- 12:22is you know i would expect and if it
- 12:25were me
- 12:26you know to be making a lot of eye
- 12:28contact with the public and trying to
- 12:30get information across is here's who
- 12:32we're looking for and if you know
- 12:33anything all of those standard things
- 12:36i'm getting none of that um yeah the lip
- 12:39licking the biting as well
- 12:41they're very
- 12:43out of the ordinary for what we saw from
- 12:45her before so they kind of come out of
- 12:48nowhere that rings alarm bells it's
- 12:50around when you get home so there's
- 12:53something
- 12:54about that that push on when you get
- 12:57home and the lip bite there that's
- 12:59alarming for me as well
- 13:02biggest alarming thing for me is
- 13:05when i usually see
- 13:06you know a couple or a mother or father
- 13:09or any kind of you know primary
- 13:11caregiver who is in this situation
- 13:15the emotions collide it's quite complex
- 13:18there's a lot going on because they're
- 13:19trying to get information across as well
- 13:22they've got the job of trying to contact
- 13:23the audience they've got this job of
- 13:26trying to hold themselves together while
- 13:28doing that their mind is in a thousand
- 13:31places trying to understand what might
- 13:33be happening
- 13:34with this kid here well you know
- 13:36regardless of what emotion she's doing
- 13:39or isn't doing it's super simple what's
- 13:42going on it's too simple as far as i'm
- 13:45concerned now often what we get is with
- 13:47this collision of emotions it's quite
- 13:50complex and and often observers will
- 13:52look at it and go oh there's something
- 13:54up there they're summing up because it's
- 13:55not easily understandable i usually
- 13:58expect it to not be easily
- 14:00understandable because this is a
- 14:02situation that no human being on the
- 14:05planet has rehearsed for they haven't
- 14:08had that moment of well you know what
- 14:09when my kids go missing here's how i'll
- 14:12handle my feelings here's how i'll
- 14:14understand this situation well she's
- 14:16handling herself in a very simplistic
- 14:18way here that rings alarm bells for me
- 14:21uh that's all i got in that one have we
- 14:22all we all been yeah
- 14:25good
- 14:27i want to say to my babies
- 14:31your mama loves you so much and your
- 14:34daddy these whole families love you so
- 14:36much
- 14:39and you guys have got to be strong
- 14:42because you are we
- 14:44i just know
- 14:46i just feel in my heart that you're okay
- 14:48but you gotta take care of each other
- 14:53and your mom and dad are gonna be right
- 14:54here waiting on you when you get home
- 14:58i'll be getting a haircut this week this
- 15:00hat will go off come off
- 15:02he said no he didn't have time because
- 15:04they were in car seats and it was going
- 15:06to take time for me to get him out of
- 15:07the car seat and um
- 15:09they just told me he said but i won't
- 15:10hurt him he just took off
- 15:12but he had a gun and
- 15:15my my big thing is they were screaming
- 15:18hollering crying and
- 15:20i'm just scared that he just lost his
- 15:22patience or something all right greg
- 15:24what do you got so let me tell you that
- 15:26when people go through trauma especially
- 15:29something like losing a child they're
- 15:31going to have really mixed emotions and
- 15:33mark you're really good at pointing out
- 15:34that not everybody reacts the same i
- 15:36think what you see though is a lot of
- 15:38difficulty containing emotions there
- 15:40will be things bleeding all over a
- 15:42person's face from known to this kind of
- 15:43duress there should be some negativity
- 15:45in their forehead and that kind of thing
- 15:47but we can't tell you exactly what's
- 15:48going to happen what we don't see
- 15:50usually in a person who has experienced
- 15:52what she has experienced
- 15:54is this normal kind of conversational
- 15:57tone because there'll at least be some
- 15:58stress to the voice and those kinds of
- 16:00things there's no storyboard on her face
- 16:02at all though again there's no grief no
- 16:04concern no anxiety no stress
- 16:06she's telling a story this is rehearsed
- 16:08and prepared and as much as she could
- 16:10and you can see she'll look over and try
- 16:12to recall a couple of words we're going
- 16:13to see her do that again and then she
- 16:16throws out details again i always say
- 16:18the truth doesn't need support but lies
- 16:20love a crutch this is a crutch well he
- 16:22had a gun and well the kids were in the
- 16:24back seat and they were strapped in so
- 16:26he he didn't want to take the time and
- 16:28there's that and um
- 16:30desmond moore's tongue shot again here
- 16:32we go blink rate goes up she's getting a
- 16:34little amusement in her face or
- 16:35something like she thinks she's getting
- 16:37away with it and the only time she shows
- 16:39any emotional accessing is when she says
- 16:42screaming hollering and crying and she
- 16:44looks down and to the right my guess is
- 16:47that's real that's exactly what she
- 16:48heard is them screaming and yelling is
- 16:50there banging on the windows trying to
- 16:52get out of the car she pushed them in
- 16:53and then she uses the most
- 16:55illogical thing i've ever heard
- 16:58he had a gun so i had to let him take
- 16:59him
- 17:01okay i'll leave it at that scott what do
- 17:03you got
- 17:04yeah listen to i agree with you 100
- 17:06listen to what she said she's talking
- 17:08about this conversation she had with
- 17:10this guy he said you know he had a gun
- 17:12he said he was you know he wouldn't hurt
- 17:14him
- 17:15there's no conversation during things
- 17:16like that if this happened this quickly
- 17:19and this guy's adrenaline if this
- 17:21supposed yeah his adrenaline is going to
- 17:23be just through the roof so is hers and
- 17:25she's going to be trying to protect the
- 17:27children she's not going to be trying to
- 17:28have this conversation about stopping
- 17:30him from taking the children she's going
- 17:31to be saying don't know those kind of
- 17:33things and she crawls back there and
- 17:35tries to protect the children
- 17:37that's why a lot of times these things
- 17:38get real ugly really fast with the
- 17:40person that gets you always hear a woman
- 17:42injured or a man injured or whether a
- 17:44child was in the car because they don't
- 17:46want him to take the child i mean they
- 17:48have the car or whatever but there's no
- 17:49conversation going on there there's no
- 17:51room for that there's no time for that's
- 17:52completely made up
- 17:54and we're seeing confidence here i
- 17:55believe because
- 17:57she knows she's
- 17:58there's there's nothing that she can get
- 18:00dropped before at this point she's
- 18:01rehearsed this answer you're right greg
- 18:02and so we're seeing confidence she's
- 18:04just saying this here's the logically
- 18:06why this happened
- 18:07so it makes total sense to me i won't
- 18:09say she's not the smartest person in the
- 18:11world i always say that but that's why
- 18:12she's so calm dude confidence and you're
- 18:14right greg no concern
- 18:16nothing we're seeing we're not seeing
- 18:18the emotions we should see
- 18:20she's talking a pretty good clip too
- 18:22so everything here i think she's
- 18:24confident with her answer at this point
- 18:26i think she doesn't think anything's
- 18:27going to happen to her mark what do you
- 18:29got
- 18:30yeah great
- 18:31uh
- 18:32look this isn't the vanishing
- 18:34perpetrator here because she she
- 18:38knows for some reason the psychology of
- 18:41this
- 18:42perpetrator so given that we know
- 18:45this event didn't happen where is she
- 18:47getting the psychology from well i would
- 18:50suggest it's her psychology this is a
- 18:52rorschach test essentially this is an
- 18:54ink blot she's got to create
- 18:57reasoning for why these things happen
- 19:00and she creates them for her own from
- 19:03her own reasoning didn't have time
- 19:06going to take time
- 19:08he lost his patience or something
- 19:11so here's what i'm gonna speculate don't
- 19:13know anything about this particular
- 19:16crime first time i've ever come across
- 19:18it
- 19:19there was some situation that was
- 19:22pushing her time
- 19:24and therefore
- 19:26that's why she did this act because she
- 19:28felt crushed by time and something had
- 19:31to happen
- 19:32quickly around this we hear time stated
- 19:36again and again and again
- 19:38about a situation that didn't happen she
- 19:41has to be getting that from what's at
- 19:43the forefront of her mind at the time
- 19:47which is time and patience and running
- 19:50out of time in some in some way it's a
- 19:53what we're seeing here in this story is
- 19:55a projection of her own psychology by
- 19:59the way that's just speculation i don't
- 20:01know that for sure but i'd be willing to
- 20:03give a good gamble on it chase what do
- 20:05you got on this one
- 20:07you know how i think uh we can tell this
- 20:10is rehearsed is she stays past tense the
- 20:13entire time
- 20:14and lots of people
- 20:16even smart people have a very tough time
- 20:19doing that so i think this is rehearsed
- 20:21that way
- 20:22there's a huge blink rate spike greg you
- 20:24mentioned it
- 20:26in the original video just before this
- 20:28she was at about 22
- 20:30and then it spikes to about 79 right
- 20:33when she kind of launches into this
- 20:35memorized story
- 20:36and there's a little bit of lip luck
- 20:38licking just before this deception story
- 20:41starts and starts talking about this guy
- 20:42but think about how we use the word just
- 20:45the doctor says it's just going to be
- 20:47it's going to be a little hair pull or
- 20:48just a little pinch
- 20:50or if i say what'd you do what'd you do
- 20:52on tuesday you said i just went to work
- 20:55the word just means that's it
- 20:57and it's not that big of a deal and
- 20:59that's it
- 21:00and that's how we use the word just so
- 21:02let me just give you a few instances of
- 21:04that here in this
- 21:06just this one clip it's
- 21:08just let me take them he just told me
- 21:10just took off
- 21:12uh
- 21:13just
- 21:14let him
- 21:16i can't remember what he said but
- 21:18there's two there's three more uses of
- 21:20the word just in here i was just scared
- 21:22as what she said
- 21:24and
- 21:25the whole entire thing she's just using
- 21:28that over and over and over to say
- 21:30that's all there is to make us just jump
- 21:32over i've used it twice now over that
- 21:35story as fast as we possibly can
- 21:38so that's all i got on that one
- 21:42he said no he didn't have time because
- 21:43they were in car seats and it was going
- 21:45to take time for me to get them out of
- 21:46the car seat and um
- 21:48they just told me he said but i won't
- 21:49hurt him he just took off
- 21:51but he had a gun and
- 21:54my my big thing is they were screaming
- 21:57hollering crying and
- 22:00i'm just scared that he just lost his
- 22:02patience or something
- 22:04are you there at the time and do you
- 22:05know what they were looking for
- 22:08no ma'am i was not there and
- 22:11i do not know i
- 22:13i did agree
- 22:14sign a form for them to do that i was
- 22:16aware they were going to do that
- 22:18and i understand that's just one of the
- 22:22normalities they have to do in any
- 22:24investigation all right chase what do
- 22:26you got
- 22:28we see a little internal dialogue just
- 22:30to come up with the word normality or
- 22:32maybe to recall that word
- 22:34normality which i'm sure she's heard
- 22:36from a lawyer or
- 22:38something
- 22:39i think it's a good example of her usage
- 22:42of
- 22:42this eye movement for her so if you see
- 22:45her eye movement in this video
- 22:47uh
- 22:48a lot of the eye movement you'll see is
- 22:49most likely truthful because she may not
- 22:52understand some of this stuff or she
- 22:53understands that this is a normality
- 22:56as part of this
- 22:58and that's all i got scott
- 23:03okay i think she's i don't have much on
- 23:06this one at all she's just calm this is
- 23:08she's thought about what she's gonna say
- 23:10and she's she's ready for the threat
- 23:12that's why her head's back like that and
- 23:13she looks a little bit cocky because
- 23:15she's prepared for the threat there
- 23:17because she's got her answer prepared
- 23:19that's all i got on that one mark what
- 23:20do you got yeah you're right it's it's
- 23:22back rather than forward isn't it it's
- 23:26very non-urgent
- 23:28once again you know if it were me if it
- 23:30were you like you'd be really urgent
- 23:32about this like my center of gravity
- 23:34would be right forward because i'd be
- 23:36wanting to get into action and contact
- 23:39uh that audience now in this particular
- 23:42situation it may be that there is no
- 23:43monitor in front of her um and so and so
- 23:47there might be some oddness there that
- 23:49she's getting a sound feed in somewhere
- 23:51there's nobody else to look at possibly
- 23:53i don't know but regardless of that that
- 23:56the head is as you say scott the head's
- 23:58back
- 23:59almost in arrogance
- 24:01there
- 24:02so there could be that element of
- 24:03arrogance and it certainly set two back
- 24:06to be to be non-urgent um
- 24:08lots of non-contractions in there so you
- 24:11know the fullness of the word that's
- 24:13kind of odd she's very
- 24:15civil
- 24:16during this so she's very agreeable uh
- 24:19and and she says i i did agree
- 24:22to that uh normality so i would say
- 24:25she's trying to socialize
- 24:28the normal acceptable situation here
- 24:30she's trying to convince us here you
- 24:32know what nothing to look at very normal
- 24:35situation going on here where me or you
- 24:38we'd be like there is nothing normal
- 24:40about this we have i have not rehearsed
- 24:42for this moment in my life i don't know
- 24:44what i'm doing here i i just got to get
- 24:47information out to the public out there
- 24:49about
- 24:50let's let's help me help me help me
- 24:52there's none of that very odd uh greg
- 24:54what do you got on this one yeah i think
- 24:56she just ain't too swift i think what
- 24:58she's doing is she's sitting there while
- 25:00we're giving her credit for holding her
- 25:01head up in arrogance
- 25:02she's back against the back of the chair
- 25:04braced she's ready for what's coming i
- 25:07think she
- 25:08she is afraid of this woman and you'll
- 25:10see it more in some of the others when
- 25:11she's on that couch she's braced she's
- 25:13rigid and wooden and her head's up kind
- 25:16of in fear rather than in you know we
- 25:18always think of covering our throats but
- 25:20then again some people don't and if they
- 25:22think they're trying to look natural
- 25:24they look more wooden as they lock
- 25:25themselves down she's overly polite
- 25:27which makes me think the same thing when
- 25:29somebody's overly polite and they're on
- 25:30their best behavior and they're trying
- 25:32to use their most polished language like
- 25:35normalities or some others we'll hear
- 25:37her use we're getting her trying to
- 25:39appear to be helpful she's on her best
- 25:41behavior her blink rate is through the
- 25:43roof and she's all that complicated
- 25:45language is her chance to try to look
- 25:47like she's being helpful and then the
- 25:49last thing for me is her brow and her
- 25:51brow doesn't move much but it raises it
- 25:53when she says i do not know just quickly
- 25:56like that i think she's scared and this
- 25:59is her chance to try to put on her best
- 26:01act put her best heirs and try to get
- 26:03out of trouble she did this on three
- 26:05network news shows and this one i think
- 26:07is is this was katie couric is this the
- 26:10one yeah so
- 26:11she did it all three that's it that's
- 26:13what i got
- 26:14you there at the time and do you know
- 26:16what they were looking for
- 26:18uh no mama was not there and
- 26:21i do not know i
- 26:23i did agree
- 26:25sign a form for them to do that i was
- 26:26aware they were going to do that
- 26:28and i understand that's just one of the
- 26:32normalities they have to do in any
- 26:34investigation
- 26:36those sounds coming through here y'all
- 26:38no no can't hear it what sounds all
- 26:40right
- 26:41mila's wearing the cone of shame uh
- 26:43right now
- 26:45that's too bad so she's running into
- 26:47everything
- 26:48let's get let's get that lean in you
- 26:50ready
- 26:51oh yeah yeah
- 26:53let's go the next video
- 26:56[Music]
- 26:58sources close to the investigation susan
- 27:01have told nbc news that federal agents
- 27:03are focusing in fact on the relationship
- 27:06between you and
- 27:07mitchell sinclair that the man that you
- 27:09were going to visit that night the man
- 27:11you said you were going to visit with
- 27:12your children
- 27:14uh they've told nbc that there were
- 27:16inconsistencies
- 27:17in your stories do you know what
- 27:19inconsistencies they were referring to
- 27:22uh no ma'am i really did not know that
- 27:25um
- 27:26all right chase what do you got
- 27:29yeah we see her stop herself from
- 27:31smiling here
- 27:32which is pretty unusual and
- 27:36i'm just going to leave that to you guys
- 27:38to what to walk through and kind of
- 27:39dissect
- 27:41there is
- 27:42some pucker some lip compression there's
- 27:44licking uh there's lip retraction going
- 27:47on here which suggests all kinds of crap
- 27:51you guys can dissect that too but one
- 27:53thing i really want to pick on
- 27:55is watch her blink rate
- 27:58from before she hears the word
- 28:00relationship when she actually learns
- 28:03what the question is about
- 28:05and watch the change in blink rate
- 28:07before the word relationship and then
- 28:09after the word relationship and you will
- 28:11see a
- 28:13perfect example of what we always talk
- 28:15about
- 28:16and there's also some hesitancy here
- 28:18there's this qualifier where she uses
- 28:20the word really
- 28:21in the middle of her denial there's a
- 28:23non-contraction but please keep in mind
- 28:26we just saw an example of her most
- 28:28likely being truthful with a
- 28:30non-contraction
- 28:32and there's also some double access to
- 28:35internal dialogue to craft an answer and
- 28:37that would mean that there is accessing
- 28:39to internal dialogue remaking eye
- 28:41contact and then going back down again
- 28:43in quick succession
- 28:46which is also a pretty large red flag
- 28:49and we know this is deceptive already so
- 28:51i'll give my answer at 100
- 28:53how about that
- 28:55scott what do you think
- 28:57all right i thought when she said um
- 29:00do you know what inconsistencies
- 29:03what what inconsistencies were made or
- 29:05whatever i thought she was going to say
- 29:06do you know what i did consistencies
- 29:08means yeah
- 29:09to god and i laughed so hard after that
- 29:11because i thought she was talking down
- 29:12to her
- 29:13anyway at the top we see her lips you're
- 29:16right chase we see lip person we see
- 29:18retraction we see all kinds of things in
- 29:20there because what she's talking about
- 29:22she's she's
- 29:24it's catching her a little bit off guard
- 29:25because she brings up the guys she's
- 29:26seeing she want to hear about that
- 29:29but at the same right before that she
- 29:31says something that makes her that is
- 29:32like yeah it makes her feel like you
- 29:33know that's okay because she smiles at
- 29:35that point it's not duping delight
- 29:37because at that point she's not saying
- 29:39anything or she's duping anybody
- 29:41but
- 29:42there's a whole lot going on there so
- 29:44and especially when she gets back to the
- 29:46to the the part about the guy she's
- 29:48going to see watch there because we see
- 29:50full on a lip pursing there and that and
- 29:53that indicates that the per that that
- 29:55person is uh doesn't agree with what's
- 29:58being said and she sees it as a threat
- 30:00also when you see your eyes darting
- 30:02around
- 30:04that indicates the person is going
- 30:05through
- 30:06and um processing the threat processing
- 30:10whatever's being said and getting and
- 30:12getting ready to as they structure their
- 30:14answer for that threat that's what we're
- 30:16looking at there um
- 30:18that's that's all i got on that one
- 30:19craig what do you got
- 30:21yeah that eye that eye movement can mean
- 30:23that she is processing information it
- 30:25can also mean that she is looking for an
- 30:27answer to something that she doesn't
- 30:28have i mean
- 30:30she's prepared for all this stuff and
- 30:31she's probably got something she wants
- 30:32to say there's also a high likelihood in
- 30:35her case that she can't hold a thought
- 30:37long enough to answer that question
- 30:39because if you watch how she behaves she
- 30:41rambles and does whatever and then
- 30:43throws out something
- 30:44here's what's interesting she's a low
- 30:46horsepower romancer because most
- 30:48romancers when they look at you they
- 30:50make really good eye contact she'll say
- 30:52something and make really quick eye
- 30:53contact and then break away again
- 30:55probably something that's a learned
- 30:56behavior she was in an abusive childhood
- 30:58and that kind of thing so there's
- 31:00probably some of that not making really
- 31:01solid eye contact
- 31:03but that actual smile that she tries to
- 31:05hide is when she's thinking about this
- 31:07relationship or something comes up and
- 31:09then she breaks eye contact and does
- 31:11that tongue shot again is she going into
- 31:13memory is there something going on
- 31:14because then her blink rate goes through
- 31:16the roof her breathing goes up and she
- 31:18does that nervous confirming nod about
- 31:20the guy so it makes me think she's got
- 31:22some kind of positive thing going on her
- 31:24head about the guy but then realizes oh
- 31:26oh that was the wrong thing to do makes
- 31:28quick eye contact and does that the nod
- 31:32she does a mouth grooming and when she
- 31:34says no ma'am her brows flash
- 31:36we only see this eyebrow flash when she
- 31:39is doing something
- 31:41that's negative so far as far as i can
- 31:43tell mark what do you got yeah so i
- 31:45agree there is a complexity of emotions
- 31:48happening here which she hasn't
- 31:49rehearsed
- 31:50for delivering or controlling in any way
- 31:54so i think this idea of the boyfriend uh
- 31:56that comes up and and it there's a real
- 32:00emotion that comes with that and she
- 32:03doesn't know what to do with that and
- 32:04she suppresses that delight
- 32:08and it would be so easy to go
- 32:10to see that as jupiter's delight but
- 32:12scott you're absolutely right this is
- 32:14not jupiter's delight because it's the
- 32:16suppression of a real feeling of her
- 32:19imagining her boyfriend and she hasn't
- 32:21she hadn't prepared for this question in
- 32:24any way so there's this huge kind of
- 32:26collision in many ways
- 32:29you know this is her being very real
- 32:31with us
- 32:32because she's not good when not
- 32:34rehearsed of being simple enough and
- 32:38controlling her feelings so we get that
- 32:40suppression of delight
- 32:42and then she lets it out she hasn't
- 32:45fully managed to suppress it we get the
- 32:47lip lick there's a lot of swallowing
- 32:49goes on there
- 32:50um
- 32:51non-contractions polite
- 32:54as well so some elements that we've seen
- 32:56before uh yeah i think that's all i have
- 32:58to say about that one
- 33:00sources close to the investigation susan
- 33:02uh
- 33:03have told nbc news that federal agents
- 33:06are focusing in fact on the relationship
- 33:08between you and
- 33:09mitchell sinclair that the man that you
- 33:11were going to visit that night the man
- 33:13you said you were going to visit with
- 33:14your children
- 33:16uh they've told nbc that there were
- 33:18inconsistencies
- 33:20in your stories do you know what
- 33:21inconsistencies they were referring to
- 33:24uh no ma'am i really did not know that
- 33:27um
- 33:28okay
- 33:29[Music]
- 33:33okay
- 33:35that's good i may have heard of me
- 33:38after this long time i just
- 33:40[Music]
- 33:42i just don't feel like i just
- 33:45it's just been so long and i think if
- 33:47they were okay then they would have been
- 33:48found by now but
- 33:51the hardest part is just not knowing
- 33:53i mean you know and
- 33:55my heart just aches and i miss them so
- 33:58much i just can't express it and
- 34:02and it's just a tragedy
- 34:05and i just pray and pray and pray that
- 34:07they'll come home safe
- 34:11all right
- 34:13chase what do you got i hate to keep
- 34:14going no i keep going on you first chase
- 34:16but as it ends up if i do the last
- 34:18person uh you know whoever went last if
- 34:21i do them first then i'm trying to do no
- 34:23matter wait let me pretend i'm coming
- 34:25back
- 34:26all right
- 34:28greg what do you got
- 34:30so she's shaking her head no this is
- 34:32late in the nine-day ride she's covered
- 34:34a whole lot of stuff during this time
- 34:36and she's gotten away with a whole lot
- 34:38this first time we see this
- 34:40and it isn't fitting for what she's
- 34:43talking about so i think she's like oh
- 34:45this is coming to an end because they've
- 34:47been questioning her over and over and
- 34:49over and over so something negative is
- 34:51rising her brows are up again at it's a
- 34:54tragedy still no grief still no
- 34:56uncertainty still no questioning she
- 34:58makes eye contact at please come home
- 35:02again i think that's when she's trying
- 35:04to sell something and she does a
- 35:05throwaway word or a fading fact as you
- 35:07would call it scott at safe it just
- 35:09drifts off she knows that's not going to
- 35:11happen mark what do you got
- 35:13yeah so apart from that one moment where
- 35:16she clocks the audience with her eye
- 35:18contact on the whole she's in shade most
- 35:21of the time if not eye blocking most of
- 35:24the time so again
- 35:26there's a a moment here you know if
- 35:28truly you had hope
- 35:31this would be another opportunity to be
- 35:33going you got any information here's you
- 35:36know get it to us
- 35:37we're in hope and and clocking the
- 35:40audience directly she's in shade all of
- 35:42the time
- 35:43she says
- 35:44i
- 35:46every about every two and a half seconds
- 35:49so that's a lot of you know it's quite a
- 35:51longish clip that's a lot of the word i
- 35:54she does mention
- 35:56them again as a collective but doesn't
- 35:59mention the kids by name in any way the
- 36:02main focus
- 36:04of this is herself
- 36:06that's not what i would expect from
- 36:08somebody who is
- 36:10honestly concerned about their children
- 36:13at this point she's concerned about
- 36:15herself
- 36:17um
- 36:18yeah and then the use of the word
- 36:19tragedy
- 36:21uh it's like it takes a long long time
- 36:24for a human being to view
- 36:26the drama that they've been through as a
- 36:30as a tragedy a long long time this is
- 36:33too early for her to be able to pull out
- 36:35of this event and go look given given
- 36:38all of these elements that were in there
- 36:40i view this as a real tragedy
- 36:43so wrong vocabulary to use at this point
- 36:46scott what do you go on this one
- 36:48all right again what you're saying it's
- 36:49her it's all about her it's i over and
- 36:51over and over again and we're seeing
- 36:53trans behavior here because she's i
- 36:55think they've got her against the ropes
- 36:57at this point in in this part of the end
- 36:59of their interview we don't see the
- 37:00whole interview just this one part
- 37:02that's why she goes into oh i'm just and
- 37:04she starts saying the same things over
- 37:05and over and she's sort of rocking back
- 37:07and forth a little bit
- 37:08and goes inward so you can't get to her
- 37:10and ask her more questions
- 37:12so we call that a trance behavior um
- 37:15her face seems like it's almost at rest
- 37:18in this thing it's if you if you turn
- 37:19the sound off you may not even know
- 37:21anything's wrong here anything she would
- 37:23be worried about anything because again
- 37:24we're not seeing anything we should be
- 37:26seeing in here
- 37:27um
- 37:29her the whole answer again is focused on
- 37:31her it's all about her and that should
- 37:34be if you're if you're watching these
- 37:36things on tv and somebody comes up and
- 37:38you're looking at the parents and
- 37:39they're saying oh we don't have our our
- 37:41child this that and the other thing
- 37:42listen to how many times
- 37:44each one of them talks about themselves
- 37:46and how it's affecting them and listen
- 37:48if they focus on that because nine out
- 37:51of ten say add it eight out of ten times
- 37:53that person would have guilty knowledge
- 37:55when they're talking about themselves
- 37:56it's about me and it's about i and about
- 37:58those things so when you hear something
- 38:00like that when you see someone on tv and
- 38:02they're interviewing them and their
- 38:04child has just gone missing if they're
- 38:05talking about how much they feel about
- 38:07what's going on pay attention to that
- 38:09chase what do you got
- 38:11i love that and i completely agree it's
- 38:15such a great uh an interesting find that
- 38:17i think a lot of people would just kind
- 38:19of brush over
- 38:20because we we tend to think
- 38:22sociologically if somebody's in pain
- 38:24that's what they're going to talk about
- 38:25on tv so it makes sense to most people
- 38:28that if someone's just talking about
- 38:29themselves they're talking about what
- 38:30they're going through but it also
- 38:33is a huge red flag
- 38:35in this video we see no motion at all
- 38:38and
- 38:39she's injecting ambiguity
- 38:42instead of doubt or uncertainty and let
- 38:45me just talk about the difference really
- 38:46quick
- 38:47ambiguity means i'm launching
- 38:50uncertainty
- 38:51into this in a way that one thing could
- 38:54mean this or not mean something or i'm
- 38:57jumping over pieces
- 38:59doubt is comfortable with truthful
- 39:02people they're fine with saying i'm not
- 39:04sure i don't know i'm really uncertain
- 39:07about this
- 39:08so think about that different
- 39:10innocent people are comfortable with
- 39:12doubt and uncertainty so in this video
- 39:15you guys talked about some of these
- 39:16words but think about how the words that
- 39:19she uses after the word i are injecting
- 39:22some ambiguity in here
- 39:24and here we have i mean i mean and i'm
- 39:27doing this in order i just i just i just
- 39:30i just it's just i think i mean you know
- 39:34i just it's just i just
- 39:37that's in this like super short video
- 39:40and that's tons of ambiguity being
- 39:42dumped into it so we're if someone's
- 39:44injecting
- 39:45ambiguity that's a big deal and it's
- 39:47just weird unusual smile at the very
- 39:50last
- 39:51tiny piece of this clip which i think
- 39:54you'll be able to
- 39:56see pretty clearly
- 39:58and
- 39:58greg if you would would you educate all
- 40:01of us on what you think about her eyes
- 40:03uh being kind of in this emotional
- 40:06accessing area throughout the video
- 40:08inches
- 40:09i i was curious what you would i have it
- 40:11in my notes here
- 40:13that to ask you about it
- 40:15well i honestly think at this point
- 40:17she's in a bind she knows she's in a
- 40:19bind so yeah is she emotional yeah this
- 40:21is up that's why i say she's going uh
- 40:25i think it's all about her that's the
- 40:26reason she's using the word i the reason
- 40:29she's negative in the entire thing and
- 40:31then she does that throw away at the end
- 40:32come back safe she knows they're not
- 40:34coming back safe that's just trying to
- 40:36deliver some piece of information along
- 40:38the way i think her brain is a squirrel
- 40:40on the road right now and she doesn't
- 40:42know the right thing to say the reason
- 40:45you're hearing filler words like just
- 40:47just mean those are things because she's
- 40:49so engaged in how she feels and how
- 40:53dangerous this situation is for her is
- 40:54what i think chase i think it's
- 40:56important for her and she knows yeah i'm
- 40:58glad you said that
- 40:59i think one of the things that we're
- 41:00seeing here is her
- 41:03one of the statistics we see in
- 41:05behavioral psychology is that people who
- 41:07suffer as children which she did and she
- 41:09was abused and had a rough really rough
- 41:12time growing up
- 41:13they they have something called a
- 41:15dissociative capacity and some things if
- 41:19stress and hard lifestyle continues then
- 41:22that person becomes a champion
- 41:24dissociate tour to where dissociation
- 41:27becomes or where we're kind of
- 41:28separating from ourselves or going
- 41:30someplace else mentally
- 41:33becomes the default stress handling
- 41:35mechanism and i think that's exactly
- 41:37what we're seeing here is a dissociative
- 41:39response which is part of
- 41:42a
- 41:43disorder it's part of the diagnostic
- 41:45criteria for a histrionic personality
- 41:48disorder histrionic disorders
- 41:50uh but there's i think some other stuff
- 41:52going on here too that we'll eventually
- 41:54get to that's all i got
- 41:55i may have hope
- 41:58after this long time i just
- 42:01and
- 42:03something like i just
- 42:05it's just been so long and i think if
- 42:07they were okay then they would have been
- 42:08found by now but
- 42:11the hardest part is just not knowing
- 42:13i mean you know and
- 42:15my heart just aches and i miss them so
- 42:18much i just can't express it and
- 42:22and it's just a tragedy
- 42:25and i just pray and pray and pray that
- 42:27they'll come home safe
- 42:32[Music]
- 42:35i did i forgot i stretched there i
- 42:37didn't
- 42:38right now we want to go to union to get
- 42:39the story firsthand from susan smith and
- 42:42her husband david susan how are you
- 42:44doing this morning
- 42:46uh doing okay uh very little sleep last
- 42:49night but i'm okay
- 42:51there was some news yesterday and and
- 42:54some promising leads
- 42:56in this case
- 42:57how
- 42:58are you coping with the disappointment
- 43:00of the news from yesterday um it was um
- 43:04i was running around my house yesterday
- 43:06morning all excited i really thought
- 43:07that they had uh had really found
- 43:10something that
- 43:11was i really thought they found one of
- 43:13my children and
- 43:15when i got to the courthouse and found
- 43:17out that the lead had
- 43:19disintegrated or when there was nothing
- 43:21there i was very devastated very
- 43:23disappointed i
- 43:25got my hopes up and was let down but
- 43:28i haven't given up
- 43:30hope
- 43:30uh you know that was
- 43:33maybe one of many disappointments but
- 43:36maybe that's gonna
- 43:39be
- 43:40right
- 43:41mark what do you got
- 43:43yeah so she's very focused on her
- 43:45feelings and i'll go through those in a
- 43:47moment but i want to give her well not
- 43:49some credit but but put it in the
- 43:51context of
- 43:53there's two pretty bad questions that
- 43:56come forward in this the first one is
- 43:59how are you doing so the interviewer has
- 44:01asked for her
- 44:03emotion so we could kind of go well of
- 44:06course she's going to give her feelings
- 44:08because that's what she was asked and
- 44:10i'll come to that in a moment and then
- 44:12he goes well how are you coping with the
- 44:15disappointment so he even delivers her a
- 44:19feeling to attach to
- 44:21i would say
- 44:23terrible interviewing there unless you
- 44:25want to lead somebody into stating those
- 44:28emotions now of course she does she says
- 44:31very little sleep excited
- 44:34devastated disappointment
- 44:37disappointed so she lays in what she's
- 44:39been asked for
- 44:40hopes up
- 44:42let down
- 44:43many disappointments and she kind of
- 44:45ends on on that so she's been a little
- 44:47bit led
- 44:49on that now having said all of that what
- 44:52i do notice in uh interviews with people
- 44:55who are not the culprit the perpetrator
- 44:58the criminal in this sense is you can
- 45:00lead them into emotions and they
- 45:02instantly go to
- 45:05uh you know they don't necessarily say
- 45:07this is not about me but they take it
- 45:08off them
- 45:10and they naturally get on to
- 45:12uh find my kids they will get onto the
- 45:16kids immediately she doesn't find her
- 45:18way there she is led into her feelings
- 45:21and being self-centered so there is that
- 45:24going for her but she should be able to
- 45:26find her way out of that and she doesn't
- 45:29greg what do you got on this one yeah
- 45:31let's talk about leading her into
- 45:33something
- 45:33when you see her left eye accessing this
- 45:36time that's not her making up something
- 45:37that's her repeating a word she has
- 45:39heard disintegrate is not a word she
- 45:41uses that's a word that one of the
- 45:43investigators said oh oh that lead
- 45:45disintegrated that's the way they got
- 45:47her in to talk to her just about
- 45:48guaranteed
- 45:49look at her this is where i'm talking
- 45:50about she's braced she's in a fighting
- 45:52position by that i mean when you're in
- 45:54the army you dig a hole you get in there
- 45:55you get your rifle and you defend
- 45:57yourself she's braced she's locked back
- 45:59in the chair she's barriered she's got
- 46:02what i call egg protector in men we call
- 46:05it the fig leaf we we cross our primary
- 46:07sex organs she's crossed her arm in
- 46:09front of her abdomen and she's locked
- 46:11down with her husband there and she's
- 46:13twitching fingers and doing all kinds of
- 46:15adapters her blink rate is through the
- 46:18roof and she's braced for whatever
- 46:20you're going to ask her she's ready for
- 46:21this whole thing
- 46:23she gets pressure
- 46:24and she does something we've only seen
- 46:26one other time on the entire behavior
- 46:27panel show and that's she does this
- 46:30pressured release of words at the end
- 46:32she's feeling pressure she rambles and
- 46:34when she's done she didn't edit so she's
- 46:37got words left over that mean nothing
- 46:40might be right something is wrong right
- 46:42there be right with those leftover words
- 46:44something's wrong she had a plan what
- 46:45she was going to say and it didn't come
- 46:46out correctly she tries to redirect and
- 46:49if you look and you really want to think
- 46:51about what would a person like this look
- 46:52like they wouldn't be pushed back
- 46:54against the chair if they've been
- 46:55through all this trauma they would look
- 46:57like him
- 46:58he's shocky you can see his brain can't
- 47:02comprehend what's going on never mind
- 47:03the tv camera might be part of it but
- 47:05she has none of that it's all just her
- 47:08it's all just her telling whatever story
- 47:10she came there for and the only place we
- 47:12see it's that pressure in the end and
- 47:14her using the wrong words uh chase what
- 47:16do you got
- 47:18yeah so i think uh
- 47:20she starts this video off in stress so
- 47:23when when this video starts again here's
- 47:24what you're gonna see so you're watching
- 47:26this on your couch living room wherever
- 47:28you're gonna see two things big time her
- 47:30respirations at around the 20 to 23.
- 47:34her blink rate is at around 60. and keep
- 47:37in mind the average blink rate's like 13
- 47:3915 somewhere in there everybody's a
- 47:41little different
- 47:43her
- 47:44she uses a three o'clock eye movement to
- 47:48answer this question so her eyes go to
- 47:50your 3 o'clock as you're watching it
- 47:52which is her baseline so that's her
- 47:55baseline she's probably genuinely
- 47:56recalling how she feels for just a
- 47:58moment here but i think her thumb is a
- 48:01great reliable indicator and she's using
- 48:04her thumb as a pacifier a little bit
- 48:06with her husband
- 48:08but with the the biggest red flag in
- 48:10this entire interview in its entirety
- 48:13is her saying i think they they might
- 48:16have found one of
- 48:18my children one of
- 48:21her just saying that is a huge indicator
- 48:24that this is
- 48:25something is way off
- 48:27in this
- 48:29and then there's a
- 48:31super increase in blink rate right when
- 48:33she says one of my children
- 48:36i think she either realized she made a
- 48:37mistake or that topic alone caused her
- 48:40some stress
- 48:41you can decide that
- 48:43but there's some internal dialogue where
- 48:45her eyes are going down this direction
- 48:47to describe her
- 48:49disappointment
- 48:51but i think what's interesting to see
- 48:53the whole picture here
- 48:54is that this is a woman hoping her
- 48:57children are never found trying to show
- 49:00excitement for children being found and
- 49:02then disappointment that they were not
- 49:05found
- 49:06at the same time
- 49:08so there's a whole lot going on and
- 49:09we're seeing a lot of mixed emotions i
- 49:11think that's one of the reasons we're
- 49:12seeing a lot of this strange unusual
- 49:15behavior going on here because i think
- 49:17the husband here
- 49:19might still be a little hopeful and
- 49:22might still be a little scared or might
- 49:24be starting to suspect the person
- 49:25sitting beside him which is another
- 49:27reason for him to be frozen still in
- 49:30this video
- 49:31uh mark what do you got
- 49:33uh i went i'm good that was a test
- 49:36was passed let's be scared
- 49:39what do you got me
- 49:40all right uh let's take a look at the
- 49:42thumbs were in this her thumb she's over
- 49:44there and that she's adapting like a you
- 49:46know what on that guy man just pulling
- 49:48her hand and pulling his hand and
- 49:51squeezing it and doing her thumb up and
- 49:52down that's an adapter she's trying to
- 49:54get rid of that built up stress or
- 49:56tension she's feeling at that time and
- 49:57she's under a lot of stress and we know
- 49:59that because she's really still she
- 50:01looks like somebody just walked in and
- 50:02said what are you doing she's like what
- 50:03nothing what are you doing and she's in
- 50:05the middle of doing something she
- 50:06shouldn't be doing you're right her
- 50:07blink rate is high it goes through there
- 50:09and starts to tick tick tick tick tick i
- 50:11just did a greg but her her blink rate
- 50:14goes way up so she's under attack and
- 50:16she's feeling that threat that's another
- 50:18reason she's really really still
- 50:20um
- 50:21that's that odd smile at the top that's
- 50:23she doesn't know that's not the thing to
- 50:25do and that's why we're seeing that and
- 50:27this in this video we're seeing her her
- 50:30nostrils are flared
- 50:32uh more than any other video up to this
- 50:34point i mean they're almost the whole
- 50:35time they're wide open taking in that
- 50:37auction her fighter flight's on because
- 50:38she's under attack and she's and she
- 50:41knows that so all these things we're
- 50:42talking about here we're seeing all the
- 50:44distress she's extremely stressed at
- 50:46this point and when she starts talking
- 50:48about uh hoping the children are okay
- 50:51and they find at least one and all that
- 50:53she i think this dawning on her as it's
- 50:55coming out that that's that's odd to be
- 50:58to be talking like that and i agree with
- 51:00you chase you're seeing a lot of things
- 51:01going on
- 51:02uh about what she's thinking right there
- 51:04and she's thinking about one thing and
- 51:06she's talking about something else but
- 51:07trying to make it look like something
- 51:09else that's uh that's a great find but
- 51:12all that leads to stress so we're just
- 51:14seeing somebody wanna see somebody under
- 51:15a lot of stress take a look at her at
- 51:17this point
- 51:18all right just keep watching
- 51:20yeah
- 51:21right now we want to go to union to get
- 51:23the story firsthand from susan smith and
- 51:25her husband david

- 52:25oh there it is finally even folks in in
- 52:28union
- 52:29wonder about the both of you they wonder
- 52:32if
- 52:32all of the truth of this story has been
- 52:35told susan what do you say to that
- 52:38i'll say that
- 52:40on behalf on my behalf the truth has
- 52:42been told
- 52:45i know right here what the truth is
- 52:48i can i can
- 52:50from some i can see from their side
- 52:54why they have to do the things they have
- 52:55to do
- 52:58but the lord and and myself both know
- 53:01the truth i did not have anything to do
- 53:04with the abduction of my children
- 53:06um
- 53:07i don't think any parent could love
- 53:09their children any more than i do and i
- 53:10would i'd never even think about ever
- 53:12doing anything that would harm them
- 53:15and yes
- 53:16go ahead i'm sorry go ahead susan
- 53:19i was just going to say it's very
- 53:20painful to to
- 53:22have a finger pointing to you
- 53:24when it's your children involved
- 53:28all right chase what do you got
- 53:30yeah so we see
- 53:31we're still here
- 53:33sorry sorry phyllis
- 53:36all right mark what do you got
- 53:39yeah i'm going to say one thing about
- 53:40this the moment you bring in a
- 53:43supernatural entity as a character
- 53:46witness
- 53:47probably something is up i'm not
- 53:49bothered about you know if you believe
- 53:51in gods or don't talk it's not really
- 53:54that it's the fact that you're bringing
- 53:56in something which is
- 53:59high authority you know any any kind of
- 54:01supernatural you know entity god is high
- 54:04in authority but tends to be very low in
- 54:08presence i i understand the kind of
- 54:10omnipresent you know uh
- 54:13idea but but they very rare you can very
- 54:16rarely get a god or demigod to show up
- 54:20anywhere so it's a great way of going
- 54:23look highest authority uh says
- 54:26you know i didn't do this and by the way
- 54:29you'll never be able to call that entity
- 54:31to the stand imagine imagine i'm in the
- 54:34same position
- 54:35and i go look um thor and odin i
- 54:40absolutely know that i didn't do this at
- 54:43what point would you go oh all right
- 54:45well thought if thor and o didn't think
- 54:47you didn't do it then you know call it
- 54:48off everybody go and look somewhere else
- 54:50because thor and odin say mark didn't do
- 54:53it you would you would be incredulous
- 54:55now i know you know thor and odin are
- 54:58our gods from you know norse sagas from
- 55:00way way back they may not feel very
- 55:02present right now
- 55:04but it's the same idea calling on a
- 55:06supernatural entity as your character
- 55:08witness kind of knowing that they have
- 55:10high authority but they're never going
- 55:12to show up in court chase what do you
- 55:15got on this one
- 55:17i totally agree
- 55:19and
- 55:20we've seen that in in so many videos
- 55:23that
- 55:24a lot of people will just use that as
- 55:26the as the star witness
- 55:28and
- 55:30if you watch this video a couple of
- 55:32times you'll see a lack of affect
- 55:34and
- 55:36she's had a past life history of
- 55:39affective instability
- 55:41there's a non-contracted denial here
- 55:44but i think one of the cool things that
- 55:46we occasionally talk about on the show
- 55:48is a humorous retraction and that's not
- 55:51when you stop being funny that's when
- 55:53this bone starts pulling into the body
- 55:56because one thing that fear makes us do
- 55:58is protect arteries fear makes a human
- 56:01body start protecting arteries
- 56:03so this arm starts squeezing into the
- 56:05body at a very specific time here which
- 56:07is a fear response and i want you to
- 56:10take a look and see if you can see when
- 56:11that happens here
- 56:13there's an increase in blink rate in
- 56:15this video from 18 per minute to 95.
- 56:19and there's distancing language where
- 56:21she says my children she's not saying
- 56:23their names we hardly ever if ever see
- 56:26her uh use these names
- 56:29and this thumb sticking up
- 56:31here's where that thumb or she's holding
- 56:33her husband's hand or thumb is kind of
- 56:35poking up like that
- 56:37this is where i was like oh she's got a
- 56:39thumb up i'm going to see something
- 56:42but i didn't
- 56:43there wasn't a whole lot of movement
- 56:44with this thing and i thought we're
- 56:45going to see some digital flexions and
- 56:47movement but what we're really seeing is
- 56:50a the arm comes in which indicates to us
- 56:53there's fear so we're seeing a bodily
- 56:54freeze
- 56:56so she's freezing the body so that all
- 56:58of the cognitive capacity is available
- 57:01she doesn't want to move anything she
- 57:02wants to maximize cognitive capacity and
- 57:05that's what we're seeing here
- 57:06and there's prolonged eye closure
- 57:10during her denial right when she says
- 57:12the words did not that's when we see the
- 57:15longest amount of eye closure and you
- 57:17can see it for yourself when the video
- 57:18comes right back up here scott what do
- 57:20you think
- 57:22yeah i agree with you and she's feeling
- 57:23the threat here because she's very still
- 57:25and that's indicating she's uncertain
- 57:27about what's going to happen next at
- 57:28this point i think the part about the
- 57:30thumb a lot of times you'll see the
- 57:31thumb when someone is confident if you
- 57:33don't if their thumbs are hidden or down
- 57:36their confidence level is low i think
- 57:38it's stuck there where she's got it with
- 57:39with his hand so it's it's so tight it's
- 57:41just sticking up the way he's grabbing
- 57:43her hand probably holding holding her
- 57:44hand going back to what greg said about
- 57:46him being freaked out because he's he's
- 57:48feeling a lot of stress too he's and he
- 57:50looks the way he should look at this
- 57:52point she puts her hand to her chest and
- 57:54this whole thing here is called the
- 57:55suprasternal notch that little little
- 57:58uh dimple right there in your check or
- 58:00in your in your
- 58:02neck and it's a lot of times you'll see
- 58:04when women have something emotional
- 58:06happen or you get bad news about your
- 58:08child
- 58:09the women will touch that super sternal
- 58:11notch she gets really close she gets
- 58:13right up on it but not right to it she
- 58:15does this twice these are the most
- 58:16illustrators we've seen so far with her
- 58:19her hand movement that's that's the
- 58:20biggest thing we've seen so far but she
- 58:22hits that twice and because she thinks
- 58:24she's supposed to she's saying i know
- 58:26but that and and one at one point the
- 58:28finger does get really really super
- 58:29close to that but it crosses it like
- 58:31that
- 58:32so she's not really feeling the emotion
- 58:34she should feel here she's mimicking the
- 58:35emotions she's seen she's not a
- 58:37psychopath i don't think but but she
- 58:39does have a couple of the
- 58:41the the of uh the items on the
- 58:43psychopath checklist from robert hare
- 58:46you know the lack of affect in in
- 58:49interface and and like chase was talking
- 58:51about earlier but i don't think that's
- 58:52what we're dealing with here
- 58:53um
- 58:55again and you're right mark that
- 58:57that that's a red flag when you bring up
- 58:58religion and he said don't get me wrong
- 59:00you know when it comes to god he you
- 59:02know he loves you but i'm his favorite
- 59:05so that's where i'm sitting in all that
- 59:07but when you bring up god in situations
- 59:09like this there's no reason there's no
- 59:10reason to do that there's no reason
- 59:12whatsoever to do that i always start
- 59:14focusing when when somebody brings up
- 59:15god that's when i go oh this is good
- 59:17here we go and then you can dig in even
- 59:20deeper because something's up there
- 59:22they're in panic mode at that point
- 59:24little or no brown movement and
- 59:26that husband he's the adapter she's over
- 59:29there just squeezing his hand and he's
- 59:30squeezing hers back and that's why we
- 59:32get that thumb up like that greg what do
- 59:34you got
- 59:35yeah he's more than an adapter he's
- 59:36sacred space he's got her locked down
- 59:38and they're adapting and i guarantee you
- 59:40before this thing started she put her
- 59:42hand in his and said help me through
- 59:44this something like that so he's
- 59:46gripping and holding her and protecting
- 59:48her
- 59:49she eye breaks to block she'll break eye
- 59:52contact to block primarily to get away
- 59:54from something but chase you hit
- 59:55something really important and that's
- 59:57that her fight or flight is through the
- 59:59roof and if you'd want to find good
- 1:00:00indicators it's not just the blink rate
- 1:00:02or the
- 1:00:04when she exhales because she's trying to
- 1:00:05talk through all of this fight or flight
- 1:00:07it's also that her nostrils are really
- 1:00:10flared and that happens when we're in
- 1:00:11fight or flight or we're angry typically
- 1:00:14she does a whole lot of um
- 1:00:17um ah and that's because i think she's
- 1:00:19working on low horsepower and she's
- 1:00:21trying to access everything she's got
- 1:00:22the reason she's not moving her body a
- 1:00:24whole lot
- 1:00:25she tries to go to emphatic i think is
- 1:00:27what she's doing here she's trying to be
- 1:00:29emphatic and convince someone that no
- 1:00:31it's just this and there's a reason
- 1:00:33we know that people say things like as
- 1:00:35god is my witness and that in the
- 1:00:37business we all say they take holy
- 1:00:39ground and that means it's used a whole
- 1:00:41lot when somebody's coming up with a
- 1:00:42name for it
- 1:00:43my favorite part of this entire thing is
- 1:00:46that she actually
- 1:00:48doesn't know when she's been handed a
- 1:00:50gift this tells you she's not very smart
- 1:00:53when the guy interrupts her she gets
- 1:00:55annoyed
- 1:00:56go ahead
- 1:00:57she should have just gone
- 1:01:00thank god but she's not smart enough to
- 1:01:02figure that out and she lets it go again
- 1:01:04and then she has something else to say
- 1:01:06because she's got to get one up my best
- 1:01:08is that this talking like this and all
- 1:01:11that and this flat face this flat affect
- 1:01:14is because she knows she's in real
- 1:01:15trouble and she's got to try to be as
- 1:01:17contained as she possibly can it's not
- 1:01:19that she has no effect usually i would
- 1:01:21bet that she does a little bit of a
- 1:01:22little bit of heightened affect
- 1:01:24occasionally if you're dealing with her
- 1:01:26so i think we're seeing just her lock
- 1:01:28down as tight as she can make it that's
- 1:01:29all i got even folks in in union
- 1:01:33wonder about the both of you they wonder
- 1:01:35if
- 1:01:36all of the truth of this story
- 1:01:38has been told susan what do you say to
- 1:01:40that
- 1:01:42i'll say that
- 1:01:44on behalf on my behalf the truth has
- 1:01:46been told
- 1:01:48i know right here what the truth is um i
- 1:01:52can i can
- 1:01:54from some i can see from their side
- 1:01:57why they have to do things they have to
- 1:01:59do
- 1:02:01but the lord and and myself both know
- 1:02:04the truth i did not have anything to do
- 1:02:08with the abduction of my children
- 1:02:11i don't think any parent could love
- 1:02:12their children any more than i do and i
- 1:02:14would i'd never even think about ever
- 1:02:16doing anything that would harm them
- 1:02:19and yes
- 1:02:20go ahead i'm sorry go ahead susan
- 1:02:23i was just going to say it's very
- 1:02:24painful to to
- 1:02:26have the finger pointing to you
- 1:02:28when it's your children involved
- 1:02:31as a fun fact the behavior science term
- 1:02:34for nostril flaring is wing dilation
- 1:02:37now that you're a panelist
- 1:02:39you can go look that up
- 1:02:41that's beautiful
- 1:02:43we should put that on the bingo card
- 1:02:46i will
- 1:02:50susan we're led to believe that uh
- 1:02:51investigators spent quite a bit of time
- 1:02:53at uh at your place yesterday is that
- 1:02:55true
- 1:02:56uh yes sir
- 1:02:58and what do you think they were looking
- 1:02:59for
- 1:03:00i have no idea i granted them permission
- 1:03:04to search my house under the impression
- 1:03:06that was one of the normalities of
- 1:03:08the investigation
- 1:03:11as far as what they were looking for
- 1:03:13what they took i have no knowledge of
- 1:03:14that all right mark what do you got
- 1:03:18yeah look people can do all kinds of odd
- 1:03:20stuff under stress and impression we
- 1:03:22have to accept that
- 1:03:24however
- 1:03:25i don't really expect this kind of odd
- 1:03:27behavior it's it's it's too reasonable
- 1:03:31um it's too
- 1:03:33locked down this idea of normalities
- 1:03:36it's too
- 1:03:37civil it's too
- 1:03:39formal
- 1:03:40she's not displaying showing letting out
- 1:03:43any of the she's in control
- 1:03:46of the anxiety i'm not saying she's not
- 1:03:50feeling anxiety because we know she is
- 1:03:52but she's locking it down and that's not
- 1:03:56a behavior that i would expect now i'm
- 1:03:58not saying that you wouldn't have a
- 1:04:00parent who would be feeling anxiety
- 1:04:02trying to manage that at the same time
- 1:04:05as trying to contact the audience at the
- 1:04:07same time as trying to manage their
- 1:04:10partner at the same time as thinking
- 1:04:12where are my kids and who's taking that
- 1:04:14there should be so much complexity going
- 1:04:17on here that i wouldn't expect anybody
- 1:04:20to be able to lock down this hard so too
- 1:04:24reasonable
- 1:04:26too
- 1:04:27too uh
- 1:04:28too normal trying to she's trying to
- 1:04:30project as she says normality so she's
- 1:04:33trying to be too normal too civil
- 1:04:36too formal
- 1:04:38i don't buy it at all and you know and i
- 1:04:39know it just looks super weird right now
- 1:04:43chase what do you got on this one
- 1:04:45yeah i'm just going to touch on
- 1:04:46something that's missing
- 1:04:49so she says
- 1:04:51she doesn't know why they're going to
- 1:04:53her house
- 1:04:55so when we i just bought a new dog it's
- 1:04:58a belgian malinois but when she was a
- 1:04:59puppy we went to the breeder's house to
- 1:05:01go meet him
- 1:05:02the mom came out and didn't know where
- 1:05:04all the puppies were for just a minute
- 1:05:06and i walked over to where the puppies
- 1:05:08were usually kept they weren't in there
- 1:05:10and the mom followed me to look for the
- 1:05:12dogs because even a dog knew the reason
- 1:05:16i was going in there was to look for her
- 1:05:18kids
- 1:05:20so any parent on planet earth would know
- 1:05:23the reason they were looking there the
- 1:05:24reason or what they were looking for is
- 1:05:26evidence or clues to find the children
- 1:05:29saying i have no clue
- 1:05:30is absolutely ridiculous was there a
- 1:05:33stalker is there evidence about where
- 1:05:35they were somebody might have taken them
- 1:05:38maybe something to help me find my kids
- 1:05:41that should be
- 1:05:43clear as day for anybody but this shows
- 1:05:44some pretty clear deception that if
- 1:05:46they're willing to say they don't know
- 1:05:48what the police were looking for that
- 1:05:50there's guilt
- 1:05:52scott or greg what do you got
- 1:05:54i think she's out of hard drive i think
- 1:05:56she's just at a point that she's got
- 1:05:58nothing left and you watch her
- 1:06:00respiration i mean she's damn near
- 1:06:02hyperventilation here if you're paying
- 1:06:04attention to it you can see your
- 1:06:05respirations going and remember i said
- 1:06:07she's in a fighting position
- 1:06:09here's how you can tell she started off
- 1:06:11you couldn't see her nostrils and then
- 1:06:13her nostrils flared and now you can see
- 1:06:15into her skull as her head is back
- 1:06:17that's the only place she has to go and
- 1:06:19you can see up her nostrils her nostrils
- 1:06:21are flared that's her escape she's
- 1:06:22looking down in the bridge of her nose
- 1:06:24at this reporter and she's trying to
- 1:06:26answer questions she's on her best
- 1:06:28behavior again yes sir
- 1:06:30that nostril flare is fight or flight
- 1:06:32and you can't miss it and she's trying
- 1:06:34to to do the best possible things she
- 1:06:37can she uses words that i would not
- 1:06:40associate with the rest of her
- 1:06:41vocabulary things like normalities
- 1:06:44and things like no knowledge of that
- 1:06:46that sounds a lot like did you have
- 1:06:48knowledge of x y or z
- 1:06:50this is a normality for what we do might
- 1:06:52be something a police officer might say
- 1:06:53to her and i think she's regurgitating
- 1:06:55those words as kind of a chaff and
- 1:06:57redirect and she's not good at it so
- 1:06:59she's just in a position where she's
- 1:07:01locked down she's in fight or flight and
- 1:07:03that's all she's got scott what do you
- 1:07:05got
- 1:07:05all right again we see that thumb
- 1:07:07adapting and no illustrators nothing and
- 1:07:10to go back to alder bray and i called
- 1:07:12him bridge last time sorry albert but if
- 1:07:14you're watching this i'd pronounce your
- 1:07:16name wrong last time but it's al alder
- 1:07:18frey and
- 1:07:20in his studies in in that he did he
- 1:07:22talked about how the person who uses the
- 1:07:24least amount of adapters compared to
- 1:07:26someone who's telling the truth that
- 1:07:27person is most likely lying people who
- 1:07:30are lying don't use illustrators very
- 1:07:33often at all not much at all you're
- 1:07:34right greg your head's cocked back
- 1:07:36because
- 1:07:37she's
- 1:07:38at the same time i think he's a little
- 1:07:39bit arrogant here
- 1:07:41um because she's taking on a threat but
- 1:07:43i think she's ready for it and she's but
- 1:07:45she knows she has to do it but i think
- 1:07:46at the same time you're right she's
- 1:07:48she's afraid
- 1:07:49of the threat it's it's an odd uh
- 1:07:51combination of stuff there and again
- 1:07:53we're seeing her nose nostrils flared
- 1:07:55not quite as wide as that one we saw
- 1:07:57earlier but man but it's because her
- 1:07:58head is back it's because you can see
- 1:08:00right into her skull almost into her
- 1:08:02frontal lobe there if you look real
- 1:08:04close
- 1:08:05um everything else is it very small her
- 1:08:08voice know her her voice is uh quiet
- 1:08:11here all that all these things again
- 1:08:13lead to stress uh if you pointed out
- 1:08:16bullet pointed all these out and put an
- 1:08:18arrow toward you'd have the word stress
- 1:08:19there's what i've got
- 1:08:20on my notes
- 1:08:22okay
- 1:08:23are we good
- 1:08:24yeah
- 1:08:27susan we're led to believe that uh
- 1:08:29investigators spent quite a bit of time
- 1:08:30at uh at your place yesterday is that
- 1:08:33true
- 1:08:34uh yes sir
- 1:08:35and what do you think they were looking
- 1:08:37for i have no idea i granted them
- 1:08:40permission to search my house under the
- 1:08:43impression that was one of the
- 1:08:44normalities of the investigation
- 1:08:49as far as what they were looking for
- 1:08:50what they took i have no knowledge of
- 1:08:52that
- 1:08:54all right
- 1:08:58you kept me twice scott so i had to get
- 1:09:00you back
- 1:09:02david the question that that arises and
- 1:09:04people who have been following this so
- 1:09:06closely and and certainly you have to
- 1:09:08know how much emotion that this is has
- 1:09:10generated across the country is why
- 1:09:12someone who
- 1:09:14would uh be interested in in in
- 1:09:16carjacking or stealing a car would want
- 1:09:19to continue to take a couple of little
- 1:09:22kids with them have you been able to
- 1:09:24fathom that or
- 1:09:25or could you think of why someone would
- 1:09:27want to kidnap a couple of little kids
- 1:09:29and unless there was some ransom or
- 1:09:31something involved
- 1:09:35no i have no idea why
- 1:09:38the suspect has why he even took the
- 1:09:40children and why he has not released him
- 1:09:42yet we have no knowledge whatsoever
- 1:09:46right
- 1:09:48wait
- 1:09:49a second i was gonna do it man
- 1:09:52all right
- 1:09:55we're still gonna do it all right chase
- 1:09:56what do you got or greg what do you got
- 1:10:01or mark what
- 1:10:04she's going to pass out if she keeps
- 1:10:05this interview up she's in a place where
- 1:10:07her respiration is fluttering now you
- 1:10:09can't miss it and you watch her
- 1:10:11her breathing rate i didn't count but
- 1:10:13i'm going to guess it's somewhere around
- 1:10:1540. that's pretty fast it might even be
- 1:10:17higher than that chase she probably
- 1:10:18counted
- 1:10:20she's licking she's grooming her mouth
- 1:10:22all this stress is now caught up with
- 1:10:23her her eyes are down down to the right
- 1:10:26and then back up and then when he says
- 1:10:28my favorite in the whole thing i'll
- 1:10:29leave it at that when he says
- 1:10:31well we don't know
- 1:10:34her mouth moves now children if you have
- 1:10:37a child and you don't teach them not to
- 1:10:39when they color they'll go
- 1:10:42because we're thinking and working out
- 1:10:44something we move our mouths mammals do
- 1:10:46it's just what we do
- 1:10:48horses do it dogs all of us move our
- 1:10:50mouths a lot but humans when they're
- 1:10:52little children will do it all the time
- 1:10:53and i think that's leakage in her case
- 1:10:55of well maybe
- 1:10:57i think she's trying to figure out what
- 1:10:58she's going to say to make that
- 1:11:01come to the next level if she were in a
- 1:11:03chair i think we'd see pre-confession
- 1:11:04movement she would start changing her
- 1:11:06body style here scott what do you got
- 1:11:09i got 10 bucks that says somebody's
- 1:11:11going to make a gif of you doing that
- 1:11:12with your mouth a second ago
- 1:11:14i think within a week it'll be on
- 1:11:15instagram what you maybe want to take
- 1:11:17back
- 1:11:18i go to 50 bucks
- 1:11:20i know where you live
- 1:11:22i know
- 1:11:24anyway so if somebody shows up at your
- 1:11:26house with a chain and drags your
- 1:11:27traverse around it wouldn't be
- 1:11:30yeah every time
- 1:11:32so
- 1:11:33go out and get something else
- 1:11:34so uh at this at this point i think her
- 1:11:36fighter flight is it's the highest it's
- 1:11:38been so far she's panicking as this
- 1:11:40guy's talking because she's thinking is
- 1:11:41he going to say something's going to get
- 1:11:42me in trouble he's going to say
- 1:11:43something something that that i'm not
- 1:11:45ready for that i can't defend at this
- 1:11:47point her blink raised through the roof
- 1:11:49and her nose nostrils are flared again
- 1:11:52we say that one more time i think
- 1:11:54there's spider flights through the roof
- 1:11:56mark what do you got yeah i think you're
- 1:11:58right i think we actually see her ramp
- 1:12:00up in this i mean she starts pretty high
- 1:12:02and she goes up higher and i think it's
- 1:12:04because her her partner here i guess
- 1:12:06it's her husband um
- 1:12:09really starts needing into her her
- 1:12:12muscle tissue
- 1:12:13there uh because he is not prepared for
- 1:12:16this at all he's in high anxiety that is
- 1:12:20a strong signal for her
- 1:12:23she i think is now going well this guy's
- 1:12:25out of control so just as you said there
- 1:12:28scott what's he gonna say
- 1:12:31is he reliable and i think her breathing
- 1:12:34rate ramps up even further at that
- 1:12:36moment there so always great to see the
- 1:12:39combinations
- 1:12:41that happen not just focus on one
- 1:12:43individual but how's the partnership
- 1:12:45working just as i think it was scott was
- 1:12:48saying earlier you know that in that
- 1:12:50video um that i don't think we can see
- 1:12:52but he was saying look you know if you
- 1:12:54look around the subject you get to
- 1:12:57understand the subject look at the
- 1:12:59partnership that's happening here to
- 1:13:02understand the subject
- 1:13:04chase what do you got on this one
- 1:13:06yeah i love that so let's really quickly
- 1:13:08touch on nostril flaring or wing
- 1:13:11dilation as we call it we have an
- 1:13:13adrenaline spike that produces an
- 1:13:16equally high demand for oxygen and when
- 1:13:19you're trying to conceal your need for
- 1:13:21oxygen because most of us are just open
- 1:13:22our mouth
- 1:13:24and openly breathe bigger
- 1:13:26but when we're trying to conceal it we
- 1:13:27use the nostril flaring unconsciously
- 1:13:30our brain just says okay dilate the
- 1:13:32nostrils if you're trying to keep your
- 1:13:33mouth shut to oxygenate the blood going
- 1:13:36to the brain uh primarily
- 1:13:39i like that the perpetrator appears the
- 1:13:42husband is asked and now there's a
- 1:13:43perpetrator we even hear the word
- 1:13:45suspect
- 1:13:46which is great
- 1:13:47and he's using his wife as a pacifier uh
- 1:13:51throughout this thing you can see him
- 1:13:52just kind of going crazy and she i think
- 1:13:55she's stroking his hand to help calm him
- 1:13:57down
- 1:13:58and just kind of get him ready just
- 1:13:59remember what we talked about just kind
- 1:14:01of just go right along what we talked
- 1:14:03about
- 1:14:04but i think there's a strong drop of the
- 1:14:06thumb of her thumb onto his hand at the
- 1:14:09end of his statement and
- 1:14:11right when he's saying uh no knowledge
- 1:14:13whatsoever
- 1:14:16but you're right the the blink rate and
- 1:14:18breathing spikes as he begins so we
- 1:14:20actually in this clip we're not seeing
- 1:14:22it
- 1:14:23super high
- 1:14:24we're seeing it spike
- 1:14:26from the beginning so we're getting to
- 1:14:27see it escalate so you'll be able to see
- 1:14:29that and kind of train your brain to see
- 1:14:31that in your everyday life uh using this
- 1:14:34video as well that's all i got
- 1:14:36david the question that that arises and
- 1:14:38people who have been following this so
- 1:14:40closely and and certainly you have to
- 1:14:42know how much emotion that this is has
- 1:14:44generated across the country is why
- 1:14:46someone who
- 1:14:48would uh be interested in in in
- 1:14:50carjacking or stealing a car would want
- 1:14:53to continue to to take a couple of
- 1:14:56little kids with them have you been able
- 1:14:58to fathom that or
- 1:14:59or could you think of why someone would
- 1:15:01want to kidnap a couple of little kids
- 1:15:03and unless there was some ransom or
- 1:15:05something involved
- 1:15:09no i have no idea why
- 1:15:12the suspect has why he even took the
- 1:15:14children and why he has not released him
- 1:15:16yet we have no knowledge whatsoever
- 1:15:23ah that was a good one
- 1:15:26susan what do you think
- 1:15:29um
- 1:15:30i think it takes a very sick and
- 1:15:32emotionally unstable person
- 1:15:34to be able to
- 1:15:36to take two beautiful children like that
- 1:15:38to be able to keep them from their
- 1:15:40parents
- 1:15:41to keep them from where they do belong
- 1:15:44um
- 1:15:46i i don't i can't imagine why anybody
- 1:15:49would want to do such any do such a
- 1:15:51thing as as what has happened
- 1:15:54chase what do you got
- 1:15:57so we see uh
- 1:15:58a lot of this
- 1:15:59stuff that's going on here let's do a
- 1:16:01linguistic analysis really quick
- 1:16:03she's saying this
- 1:16:04sick and emotionally unstable person i
- 1:16:07think this is what's what we call a
- 1:16:08defense strategy revealing itself that
- 1:16:11if something does happen she gets to
- 1:16:13clean her own butcher block or define
- 1:16:15how she's seen
- 1:16:18but i want you to concentrate on her
- 1:16:19words just to be able to then she says
- 1:16:22to be able to then she says to be able
- 1:16:24to then she says to be able to
- 1:16:27four times there
- 1:16:28so and she describing the crime as
- 1:16:32such anything or such a thing
- 1:16:36as what has happened
- 1:16:39but back to this word abel it's able
- 1:16:42indicates capacity or ability or
- 1:16:45potential
- 1:16:46so it's not an action so she's not
- 1:16:48speaking about anything that actually
- 1:16:50happened she's speaking about something
- 1:16:52that's 100 hypothetical here there's
- 1:16:55more vanishing perpetrator
- 1:16:58and remember she apparently met and
- 1:17:00stood face to face with this person and
- 1:17:03he's still
- 1:17:05not mentioned she mentioned some
- 1:17:07ethereal unimaginable human even though
- 1:17:10she has apparently seen this person face
- 1:17:12to face she's unable to mention the
- 1:17:14crime she's unable to mention the kids
- 1:17:17names or the perpetrator
- 1:17:19and this is a wonderful spot as an
- 1:17:21interrogator this is the exact moment
- 1:17:23that i would start inserting the
- 1:17:25punishment question
- 1:17:26what do you think should happen to the
- 1:17:28person that did this
- 1:17:31and get because she's already in the
- 1:17:32mood to clean her own butcher block and
- 1:17:34define herself this is the perfect
- 1:17:35moment to do that scott what do you got
- 1:17:38all right well he covered everything
- 1:17:41so i'll just talk about stress for a
- 1:17:42minute
- 1:17:43let's talk about everything we've seen
- 1:17:44at this point everything leads to stress
- 1:17:46everything she's doing shows she's
- 1:17:48stressed and she's under attack and she
- 1:17:50feels the threat
- 1:17:52so that's why we're seeing the nostril
- 1:17:54flare she's been really still her her
- 1:17:56senses are are odd oddly constructed
- 1:18:00everything sounds off because she's
- 1:18:01under stress and she knows
- 1:18:03this is at some point things are going
- 1:18:06to get worse than they are right now
- 1:18:07because they're going to find those kids
- 1:18:09and it's going to get worse for
- 1:18:11uh
- 1:18:12mark what do you got
- 1:18:13yep so
- 1:18:15if you're a panelist which i hope you
- 1:18:17are which means you've subscribed and
- 1:18:18you've maybe been watching us for weeks
- 1:18:20and weeks and weeks and weeks maybe even
- 1:18:22as much as a couple of years you're now
- 1:18:25probably getting pretty good at
- 1:18:27analyzing behavior and body language and
- 1:18:29what you're going to notice about other
- 1:18:31people out there is when they analyze
- 1:18:34body language and behavior all they're
- 1:18:36really doing is telling you what's going
- 1:18:38on inside their own head it's just a raw
- 1:18:41shack test because they don't have the
- 1:18:43ability like you're going to be having
- 1:18:45right now of really critically thinking
- 1:18:47what's going on i think that's what
- 1:18:49we've got here another rorschach test
- 1:18:52because you've got somebody here
- 1:18:53diagnosing
- 1:18:55an imaginary perpetrator she knows their
- 1:18:59the only perpetrator is her so what
- 1:19:01story has she got other than a sick and
- 1:19:05emotionally unstable
- 1:19:07individual this is a self
- 1:19:10diagnosis essentially i mean it's not a
- 1:19:13particularly you know anybody uh who's a
- 1:19:16who's a psychiatrist uh analysts will be
- 1:19:19able to do a more acute um
- 1:19:22uh analysis but she's not far off as an
- 1:19:24amateur she's not far off uh on herself
- 1:19:27so that's what i'd say we've got there
- 1:19:29is that's a beautiful piece of simple
- 1:19:32self-analysis that she's
- 1:19:34giving us
- 1:19:35there a rorschach test
- 1:19:37greg what do you got on this one
- 1:19:39yeah so i love this one because she has
- 1:19:41prepared you said butcher black which i
- 1:19:43find kind of interesting chase because
- 1:19:45in the old days we would have called
- 1:19:46these flip charts booker butcher block
- 1:19:48just the paper and i think she put a
- 1:19:50list of things not maybe not literally
- 1:19:53but a list of things she needed to cover
- 1:19:55to cast who could have done this to her
- 1:19:57children now interestingly she was able
- 1:20:00to describe what he looked like what
- 1:20:01kind of hat he was wearing even to an
- 1:20:03artist but she was not able to say this
- 1:20:05scumbag who took my children when we're
- 1:20:08angry about losing our children we don't
- 1:20:11go
- 1:20:13we go
- 1:20:14and tell and we're aggressive and pushy
- 1:20:17and we're not seeing any of that no brow
- 1:20:19down it's all that head back leaned and
- 1:20:21her mouth wrenches a little bit before
- 1:20:22she starts and then she accesses her
- 1:20:25left as she's bringing up these things
- 1:20:26that she was saying she's like finally i
- 1:20:28get to say something i know how to say
- 1:20:30and she is more cl clearly spoken
- 1:20:32because she's prepared it i think it's
- 1:20:34just more of the act and she's barely
- 1:20:37able to hold on to it even through fight
- 1:20:38or flight though she finishes her
- 1:20:39sentence that's what i got
- 1:20:41greg let me ask you this what do you
- 1:20:43keep in that pocket right there with a
- 1:20:44zipper i don't know you'll never know
- 1:20:47either
- 1:20:51susan what do you think
- 1:20:53um
- 1:20:54i think it takes a very sick and
- 1:20:57emotionally unstable person
- 1:20:59to be able to
- 1:21:01to take two beautiful children like that
- 1:21:03to be able to keep them from their
- 1:21:05parents to keep them from where they do
- 1:21:07belong
- 1:21:10i i don't i can't imagine why anybody
- 1:21:13would want to do such any this such a
- 1:21:16thing as as what has happened mark what
- 1:21:18do you think about what we're seeing
- 1:21:19here yeah so here's what i want you to
- 1:21:21do take a leaf out of scott's book there
- 1:21:24which is look around what's happening
- 1:21:28when you're analyzing a situation not
- 1:21:30necessarily at the subject themselves
- 1:21:33look around the subject and see how
- 1:21:36other people are reacting that's what i
- 1:21:37take away from this because we've got
- 1:21:39some great examples there of being able
- 1:21:42to look at other people's behavior
- 1:21:44around this particular subject chase
- 1:21:47what do you think
- 1:21:49yeah i think there's some
- 1:21:52there's a good case to be made for
- 1:21:54there's some evidence here for many
- 1:21:56different mental issues that are going
- 1:21:59on i'm not a professional so i'll leave
- 1:22:01it alone and maybe next video we'll
- 1:22:03break out the big dsm
- 1:22:06but for this one
- 1:22:07just use what i'll give you a legal term
- 1:22:10which is the reasonable person standard
- 1:22:13and we just ask ourselves from a
- 1:22:15critical thinking perspective like mark
- 1:22:16always talks about how would a
- 1:22:18reasonable person feel if their children
- 1:22:21were kidnapped
- 1:22:23would you be angry we're not seeing any
- 1:22:25anger would you feel sad we're not
- 1:22:27seeing that would you beg for your
- 1:22:29children back would you use their names
- 1:22:30would you say it on tv and not just
- 1:22:33yourself but think about other people
- 1:22:34that have different lifestyle than you
- 1:22:36so let's just use the reasonable person
- 1:22:38standard and that helps us to discover
- 1:22:40what's missing and what's being hidden
- 1:22:43from a conversation that we see
- 1:22:46anywhere we have one greg
- 1:22:48yeah i think you just hit dead on
- 1:22:50the nailed dead on the head
- 1:22:52reasonable person because what we see
- 1:22:54here is somebody who's covering up
- 1:22:56something what we can tell about this
- 1:22:58person is they're not reacting normally
- 1:23:00normal is lots of different things
- 1:23:02because there's no such thing in humans
- 1:23:04but what we do know is that we're not
- 1:23:06defending self when a child goes missing
- 1:23:08if you lost your dog tomorrow do you
- 1:23:11start looking for reasons why your dog
- 1:23:13is missing or do you start looking for
- 1:23:15the dog these are children
- 1:23:17and we don't see a bit of concern we
- 1:23:20don't see a bit of grief we don't see a
- 1:23:22bit of anxiety usually when people are
- 1:23:24dealing with this we looked at the
- 1:23:25mccanns they look bleached after days of
- 1:23:27their children being gone there's no
- 1:23:29bleach to this this person is talking
- 1:23:31like a normal person and she's talking
- 1:23:34about this person who is mentally ill
- 1:23:36that she let take her
- 1:23:38children because he had a gun come on
- 1:23:40it's just all of these pieces of a story
- 1:23:42just don't fit well they of course let
- 1:23:44him take the kids because he had a gun
- 1:23:47this is all of this going together is
- 1:23:49just as bad as diane downs there's no
- 1:23:51logic to the story there's no there's no
- 1:23:54flow to the story and the reason that
- 1:23:56she's not upset is because she knows
- 1:23:58they're dead and she knows she's got to
- 1:23:59protect herself that's it scott what do
- 1:24:01you got i think this is a great study in
- 1:24:04stress
- 1:24:05because we see we see her under stress
- 1:24:07in all kinds of different situations or
- 1:24:09different interviewers so i think this
- 1:24:12is great because we're seeing all the
- 1:24:13the
- 1:24:14earmarks of someone who's being
- 1:24:16dishonest or being deceptive as we go
- 1:24:18through these everything from the
- 1:24:19nostril flare to the
- 1:24:21being very still to the head back
- 1:24:24heavy breathing
