polygraph

In todays episode, Brad talks about the cold case of Irene Garza, who was a beautiful woman who had everything going for her.
She went missing in 1960, and was later found murdered in McAllen Texas. The case remained unsolved for decades until an unexpected person came forward because it was eating at them. In 2016, the perpetrator was caught and who he was, blew my mind.

I talk with psychologist Christopher Moyer about electrodermal activity (EDA), also known as galvanic skin response (GSR), which is what lie detectors measure. Topics discussed include: What are spikes in electrodermal activity actually telling us? We talk about its use in lie detectors. We talk about lowerings in skin conductance and what that indicates. We talk about the nature of stress; and how there can be good and bad stress. We talk about poker and gambling, including some gambling-related studies that measured electrodermal activity.

Have you ever found yourself questioning the truth behind the words of a person accused of a crime? What if there was a tool that could potentially detect deception patterns and reflect the truth? In today's episode, we're thrilled to have the creator of such an instrument, Dr. Darrell Turner, who will enlighten us about the Analysis of Patterns of Denial (APOD), designed specifically to detect deception among those accused of sexual offenses.

Dr. Turner isn't just teaching us about APOD in this episode, he's showing us its application in real and high-profile cases. We'll be delving into the infamous BBC interview of Prince Andrew and his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The conversation doesn't stop there; we also examine how APOD can be applied in different cultural contexts and languages, even in situations where English isn't the first language of the interviewee. 

Then, we journey into the past, revisiting some of the most notorious criminal cases in history, such as Casey Anthony and Ted Bundy. We discuss how APOD could help detect patterns of denial and deflection in these cases, potentially shedding new light on their attempts to mask the truth. But APOD isn't just about exposing the guilty - we'll also explore how it can be used to vindicate those falsely accused of serious crimes. So, join us and Dr. Turner as we unravel an intriguing web of denial and deception, and search for truth in criminal cases involving sexual offenses.

We recommend listening to our previous conversation with Dr. Turner released on June 26, 2023 titled, "Analysis of Patterns of Denial: Evaluating the spectrum of denial to reveal sexual offenders", to learn how APOD was researched and developed.

Clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Darrel Turner spent 12 years developing a tool with the primary function to evaluate the truthfulness of denial in interviews with alleged sexual offenders. The result of his research is APOD, a scientifically sound instrument that aids investigators and clinicians in the Analysis of Patterns of Denial. Dr. Turner joins the conversation to discuss this new approach, how it works, and the key terms and patterns investigators can look for when determining the likelihood of a suspect's involvement in crimes of a sexual nature.

The grisly murder case of Shrdhha Walkar has sent shockwaves in India with shocking revelations by the accused in the case Aftab Poonawala. Aftab Amin Poonalwala murdered his live in partner Shraddha Walkar in Delhi, thereby mutilating victims body into 35 pieces and disposing the parts of her body in Delhi’s Mehrauli forest. The Delhi Police is still in search of the body parts

What does Elon Musk know that we don’t know? He’s invested millions if not billions of dollars to explore and capture information with top researchers and scientists regarding space exploration. There must be a reason why. 

Is our government hiding this information from us, and if so, why? What used to be written off as pure science fiction has now been pretty much accepted as reality. After all, the technological advances we’ve made in the last 100 years is astonishing.

In our final episode in the intense 3-part trilogy on ALL THINGS: Polygraph, we rip the band-aid off the topic in one jarring and impactful conversation!

We have the high privilege of sitting and talking with Mr. George Maschke, polygraph expert and Near East Languages & Cultures Ph.D. (UCLA).

On Monday, May 15, 1995, everything began to go downhill for George.

At the time, he was a 12-year veteran of the US Army, having served in both an
active and reserve capacity.  He served as an interrogator, strategic debriefer, and tactical intelligence officer---and had continuously held a security clearance since 1983.

His encounter with the now deceased Jack Trimarco, who after retiring from The FBI in 2000, began conducting polygraph “tests” for the Dr. Phil TV Talk Show, lasted some 3 hours.  And at the end of those 3 hours, Trimarco concluded that our guest was a spy, a drug user and drug dealer.

His application to be a Special Agent with the FBI was rejected, and the false accusations of his deception from his examiner were entered into his permanent FBI Headquarters file.

The FBI's accusations have had life-changing consequences for him.

George was crystal clear with us that a “A failure of an FBI polygraph exam is a lifetime disqualification, there are no second chances.”  George poured everything he had physically, mentally and emotionally into trying to understand “how exactly he could tell the truth and yet still fail the exam” – an exam that the examiner said was “90% accurate”.  He conducted an exhausting and deep investigation to better understand how he fell through the cracks --- this is the story of that journey and a large portion of his life.

On September 18, 2000 he helped co-found Antipolygraph.org – shortly after his high-level security clearance was stripped from him by The U.S. Army.

AntiPolygraph.org is a non-profit, public interest website dedicated to exposing and ending waste, fraud, and abuse associated with the use of polygraphs and other purported “lie detectors”.  He co-authored The Lie Behind the Lie Detector. 

George adamantly states that “polygraphy is most definitely not a science.

He is resolute on his positions that:  My two previous guests: (Holly Niotti-Soltesz and Gil Witte) didn’t explain fully the function of the “control questions”.  He holds that the public isn’t supposed to understand the full function of the control questions.  He has “cast the gauntlet”, letting it be known that he would enjoy openly debating either or both of my previous guests!

He shares clear and effective techniques that you can employ to beat the test – that those who administer polygraph tests NEVER want you to be knowledgeable of.

As we drill deeper, farther and wider in this EXPLOSIVE episode you will hear detailed action steps to take on:  

 🧨If a person is charged with a crime and asked to take a polygraph exam, what should that person do immediately? 
 🧨Facts you need to know if you ever face an employment screening polygraph exam. 
 🧨Is the polygraph machine simply a “prop” for an interrogator to intimidate and scare confessions out of criminals?  
🧨If there any truth involved in the “lie detector”, or is it all smoke and mirrors and a charade? 🧨We define for you what the Control Question Test or “CQT” actually is and its import.  We expose – the “dirty little secrets” that lie behind the polygraph “test” as it relates to the “CQT”. 🧨Whether the polygraph exam is dependent on the examiner lying and deceiving the subject who is being examined.  

Tune in and be empowered!

Thank you so much for your tremendous support! 

Our focus was on the polygraph examination.  We wanted to take two expert polygraph examiners and ask them many similar questions and see if we got similar responses.

Collectively, we were blown away by the extent of expertise from our special guest who was specifically recommended and referred to us.

On this fact-packed, smokin’ hot episode of Light ‘Em Up we drill to the core about all things polygraph. 

Today we have the high privilege of speaking with our special guest, polygraph expert Mr. Guillermo “Gil” Witte.  Gil’s priority is to get to the truth with every exam.
Gil has been a polygraph instructor at the Academy of Polygraph Science and other APA accredited schools. He received his education at the Florida International University, where he obtained a B.A. in Psychology. 

He also has published articles in The Police Polygraphist (newsletter of the American Association of Police Polygraphists) and the APA Magazine.

Mr. Witte holds memberships in the following organizations:

• American Polygraph Association
• American Association of Police Polygraphists
• The Association of Polygraph Examiners (California and Alabama)

On this exclusive episode we examine: 

● The nuts and bolts of a polygraph exam, also known as a PDD exam (Psycho-Physiological Detection of Deception Exam).  As Gil states, “There is a lot to the polygraph process, from the interview, the testing, analysis and revelation of results, truth is what happened, not a perception of it”. 

● The electrodermal response is a very important response in the polygraph exam --- (typically sensors that go on the palm of the hands or the fingertips).

● How a lay person knows if they are being examined by a properly trained and competent forensic psycho-physiology expert.

● We define and examine what a “false positive” is and how that term applies to polygraph security and pre-employment screening.

● We define a “false negative” and the implications of such.

● In laymen’s terms, we discuss the admissibility of polygraph test results in U.S. courts and we discuss the Frye Standard, which we get from the case Frye v The United States.

● Is there an error rate to the examination, if yes, what are those percentages?
I doubt after listening to Gil you’ll ever have another question about the polygraph exam.  Gil shares his decades of expertise from the beginning to the end of this impacting episode!   

Human resource professionals or job seekers, if you are required to administer or to take a polygraph exam as a requirement of pre-employment screening, THIS is the resource episode for you! 

Any story is true until you hear both sides of the story.  The crucible of cross-examination ferrets out the truth.   As we customarily say on our podcast, “the truth disturbs, the truth divides, but ultimately the truth delivers”. 

Please share this podcast with a friend or a family member that you think may like it.  We are here for you and because of you! 

I hope you find this episode to be enlightening, educational and empowering! 

Knowledge isn’t power unless you do something specifically with that knowledge that empowers you! 

Thanks!

On this exclusive explosive episode of Light ‘Em Up - we’re talking ALL THINGS about the polygraph exam - that’s right, the lie detector test!  

“In God we trust, all others we Polygraph” … 

A polygraph, also referred to as a lie detector test, is an instrument that measures and records several physiological indicators such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity while a person is asked and answers a series of questions. 

Its use is ever-expanding, and has readily been seen in pre-employment screening, the criminal justice system and issues involving national security.  
We have the high honor and distinct privilege of speaking with our special guest Holly Niotti Soltesz, founder/owner of HNS Polygraph Services (Youngstown, OH and Cranberry Township, PA).

Established in 2008, HNS Polygraph has been retained by law enforcement agencies, district attorneys, defense attorneys, therapists, private individuals and city and county officials to conduct polygraph testing when the truth is absolutely needed.  HNS Polygraph Services is a veteran-owned business that strictly adheres to all standards of polygraph set forth by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), The American Polygraph Association (APA) and The International Society of Polygraph Examiners or (ISOPE).

The primary role of a polygraph examiner is to assess and ascertain the truth of one statement or the validity of a denial regarding any allegation made against a person. The expert polygraph examiner, through their passion to the science and their commitment to excellence, tries their level best to get to the truth.  

Holly’s primary area of expertise is sexually-based allegations of statutory rape, gross sexual imposition, child pornography and child sexual assault and infidelity matters. 

On this explosive episode we drill to the core on: 

💥 What exactly a polygraph examiner does? 

💥 Empirical evidence about how deceptiveness—and other psychological conditions—affect the physiological responses that the polygraph measures.

💥Why do we lie, and what in fact is “truth”?

💥Why do people submit themselves for polygraph exams when they know they are lying ? 

💥 We examine the difference between a “specific issue exam” and a “multi-issue exam”. 

💥 We share examples of baseline questions that would be asked at the start of an examination.

💥 How does a lay person know if they’re being examined by a properly trained and competent forensic psycho-physiology expert? 

💥Overt “signs and signals of deception”  

Holly says, “There are some really good liars out there and equally, the opposite is true, there are some truthful people that really look deceptive.” 

💥 Can a lie detector test be “beaten”? 

Holly shares with us explosive revelations of what the current trend is which in many occurrences has necessitated a polygraph exam to be conducted in the hope of ascertaining the truth of the allegations lodged against far too many parents - very, serious stuff, all in the pursuit of justice.    

And so much more!  

A lie-detector test, a polygraph exam, or a psychophysiology veracity exam – regardless of how it is referred to, it works!

Holly clearly understands the gravity of the matter: “This is someone’s life that we hold in our hands – their life and liberty stand in the balance.”  

You will not want to miss this episode!  

If you have ever lied, or know someone who has lied, or is a liar, this episode is for YOU! 

It is my most sincere prayer that this episode is educational and empowering for you! 

Thank you so much for all of your on-going support!

In this week's episode I want to tell you about a case that happened in Modesto, CA that unfortunately didn’t get the attention that maybe it needed due to other high profile cases that were happening around the same time, like the Chandra Levy case, the killings that were going on in Yosemite by Cary Stayner, and of course the infamous Lacey Peterson case. This week I want to tell you about the disappearance of Dena Raley McCluskey.

On this week’s The Sci-Files, your hosts Chelsie and Danny interview Dhaval Gandhi. Dhaval is an undergraduate student at MSU in the departments of Neuroscience (College of Natural Science) and History Philosophy & Sociology of Science (Lyman Briggs College). He examines how neuroscience has slowly crept its way into various fields like marketing, philosophy, and law. Chiefly, Dhaval focused his research efforts on the ways neuroscience has begun to influence the legal system, creating a new niche field dubbed by others as 'neurolaw.'

Historically, phrenology, an early tool to observe the brain's ability by examining the natural surface of an individual's head, was prevalent in the legal setting in the mid-1800s. Fortunately, American judges were quick to dismiss phrenological evidence as it lacked scientific evidence. In the last century, neuroscience has been slowing reintegrating back into the American legal system with polygraphs and MRI technology. Polygraphs were used as a measure of an individual or a witness was being fully honest. Moderately, the scientific basis of polygraphs has been questioned. Now, Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) technology is being used for lie detection. This is unsettling as the machines used are unreliable, the results can be misleading, and the current legal system has inconsistencies that can make the matter more complicated. For these reasons, it's crucial that society separates the two fields of neuroscience and American law once again, as we did with phrenology until there is more scientific grounding for neuroscience-based legal evidence. Through his research and reasoning, he argues against the use of 'neurolaw' until better technologies and practices are developed.
