Intimate Partner Homicide: The Writing is on the Wall

Statement Analysis plays an important role in crime. It is an accurate process by which a trained analyst explains language either verbal or written to determine truthfulness, deception and hidden information a person with direct knowledge uses when attempting to disarm others as to their involvement in a crime.

I refer to statement analysis as the art of unconscious vomiting of the truth. In cases of intimate partner homicide it goes to the deception of the truth.

Earlier today on The Roth Show, Peter Hyatt, Investigator and Statement Analysis Expert discussed his work regarding cases where husbands whose wives "suddenly vanish" play a critical role when they immediately hide behind a lawyer instead of helping in an investigation. After all this is their wife and mother of their children, yet when a person flat out refuses to cooperate it is deception.

We discussed the case of missing New Jersey mother Randy Amanda Lehrer, last seen on Friday, August 12, 2011. His deception in Randy's case begins with calling her place of employment and telling them "she returned to her native Canada to take care of her sick mother." The author of the statement is being deceptive which is one example of statement analysis. Like Pinocchio, Steven Acnua (the husband) was caught in a major lie.

The case of missing mother Susan Cox Powell who vanished on December 6, 2009, from Salt Lake City, Utah goes towards Josh Powell's use of words and sentences during media interviews the most recent when he and his father are interviewed on ABC's Night Line.

I know that when Walt Disney created the Pinocchio character he had no idea it could be applied to statement analysis, but it fits perfectly.

Every husband whose wife and mother to their children "suddenly" vanishes where they were the last known person to have contact with them are pathetic cowards. Those involved in intimate partner homicide are Pinocchio's minus a conscious and heart.

Over time their puppet like mentality, words and predictable actions will be the key to their own permanent jail cell.

In statement analysis, the writing is on the wall!
