Statement Analysis Test: Mother of Two Kidnapping On Tape

The following is a video taped interview, placed over the actual store video, showing a man attempting to kidnap a 2 year old child.

Listen carefully to the mother's language.

Do you find any indicators of deception?

Since the video confirms the facts that took place, comment upon the language she uses, focusing your thoughts on two specifics:

1.  What verbs does she use?

a. Does this indicate veracity?
b. How are they linked to her pronouns?

2.  Emotions

a.  Where are her emotions in the interview?
b.  What does this tell you?

*We are looking for your explanation on the location of her emotions in the account.  What do you make of her inclusion of Divinity?  Is this a signal of deception?  Why or why not?  Please explain your answer.
