Missing Woman, Janet Walters' Body Found

There are certain times when I know certain things about an incident but cannot release information via the website.  I'm occasionally emailed by someone from a news organization, a police department, or an attorney and asked to give a quick look and give them my impressions.  Most often the information I provide is used to formulate next steps and tactics. Living in the Indianapolis area I was very familiar with this case and would not release my comments about this case until her body was found.


Janet L. Walters, 44, was found about 4 p.m. Saturday in the back of her minivan in the employee portion of the Meijer parking lot at Heartland Crossing near Mooresville, Indiana. Walters had been missing since April 14.


Her husband, Gary Walters, was interviewed by several people including  the local media outlets. He made a public plea to help find his wife.  I first examined the footage of the husband on the Saturday before Easter Sunday,  some nine days after she was missing.  There is not a great deal of footage available of the husband's plea online, but you can see part of it by clicking here.


He does not feel the need to add to his plea for the public's help and his emotion is very real. 


He was not hiding anything and had nothing to do with her disappearance, or her death.  


My thoughts and prayers go out to Janet, and Gary and her entire family.◦

Missing Woman, Janet Walters' Body Found

Loose Lips Sink Ships, Bin Laden's Death and Mistakes Currently Being Made By Well Intentioned Americans

[Insert News Organization] has been able to get our hands on an email sent out by [Insert High Ranking Government Official's name] from the [Insert Government Agency] where it says [Insert congrats and then inadvertently reveals a small amount of sensitive information (usually towards the end of the email)].

Living in middle America I SHOULD NOT KNOW the following: 

• The critical piece of intelligence was developed out of the Asia (not the middle east) region.
• Intelligence was largely based on one of Bin Laden's couriers, the intelligence was based on a telephone conversation. (Bin Laden used couriers because Time Magazine released (before 9/11) that US intelligence agencies were able to intercept his satellite phone conversations.) Like a movie film,  on the ground agents, satellites, and drones physically watched and tracked the courier.  This was not the only courier or individual associated with this terrorist organization under extremely close watch by the intelligence organizations. There were many people tracked and monitored VERY closely for extended periods of time.
• The raid was a largely conducted by a group within the Navy Seals known as U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six, an elite team of military personnel trained to conduct the most top secret operations involving combat, anti-terrorism and dangerous rescues. This group is part of another group called the Naval Special Warfare Development Group or DevGru for short. The DevGru unit is part of the Joint Special Operations Command.  They train year round and are never technically deployed to specific regions, they are mission centric. The budget for this group is worth every penny and you'd need one hundred billion plus pennies.
• The compound where the raid occurred was replicated and the Seal Team trained the raid extensively.  This was one of many compounds intelligence divisions had identified as a hot targets, and these other compounds also were replicated and used for training. These were not Hollywood like replicas.
• We confirmed a higher level of activity within this compound with the use of drones, this led credibility to what was developed out of intelligence divisions.
• Intelligence divisions have a complete mappings of the middle eastern region from satellites and a large group of analysts who track changes (construction and activity (even counting vehicles on sites)).  When items become flagged drones are used to get a fuller picture  (because satellites only do fly overs of the region at certain times (several times during the day) during the day).

These things are all things that came to light through rudimentary statement analysis of these emails written and sent the morning after the mission.  The government employees that provided the emails to news agencies did not release them with malicious intent, and in fact, I believe they did it to showcase the kudos their division is receiving from their own leadership- it was a way to celebrate the victory. The individuals did not realize or understand how the release of some of this information actually helps our enemies.

More of my thoughts:

• This was not the first raid where we hoped to confront Bin Laden.  You only have to look at past raids where top Al Qaeda leadership were killed or captured.
• Bin Laden would not have been taken alive, and in fact instructed his bodyguards to not allow him to be taken alive. It would not further his cause. This was a mandate of all top leaders in the Al Qaeda organization.
• Military and intelligence knew the above, and had planned for his burial at sea.
• Al Qaeda has also planned for the day he would die.  Timing plays a big part of their retaliation.  We must remember Al Qaeda, is and will continue to be patient, the time between attacks are measured in years, not months.  Their terrorist attacks are long term missions that last years  between the final planning stage and the actual attack.  With the date of his death, it has set in motion at least one mission.  
• We have more to be worried about the lone terrorist in the short term.
• There will be a video or audio released  from Bin Laden that was made in the event of his death.  I would not expect this to occur in the near future.  The timing will be critical to future intelligence gathering.  
• Lastly, a Navy Seal can hold their breath and swim under water 300 yards- That is three football fields, minus the end zones.  They are always training and always on the go, they have a saying that goes something like this, "The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed in war."  They are the best of the best, and stronger and more dedicated then our worst enemies.

The Royal Wedding

While they both showed great grace, they were also very nervous. In the above video you can see them both fidgeted repeatedly and their blink rate is a sure sign they were feeling the pressure of performing without blunders.

One thing I noticed is how William is very connected to Kate, and cares deeply for Kate you can see this in the way he helped her several times, was always mindful of being there for her,  and the way he held her hand.◦

Rubbing the forehead is a sign of stress, but it also conveniently is a way to eye block.  Emotion is present in the beginning of the statement, but he recovers.  I would like to see a baseline of the boyfriend; it appears he talks out of the side of his mouth.  I would like to make sure this is always the case.  He is reading the statement, but never once looks at the cameras or press, even after the statement is read.  Most people would want some ‘feedback’ to their message; this is his opportunity to plea for information and/or her return.  I have watched his final words, and the micro expression, and how his hand touches his face some 10+ times when he finishes the statement and find it interesting, but cannot draw conclusions, but there is something there...

“We’d really like to be left alone” is not what you’d expect from someone asking for help from the public in finding the missing woman.  This is a huge hotspot.  Most people in similar situations would stay up for days and would repeatedly talk to whoever would listen if it meant there was a glimmer of hope that it would bring her back.

When you compare the boyfriend statement to her brother’s statement (which is natural and just as heart felt) it highlights the ‘unnatural’ statement by the boyfriend.

I am unsure if this is simply a huge case of nervousness and shyness, but should be examined if this does not fit with the normal behavior of the boyfriend.

Unfortunately her body was found 5 days later.

Judge Belvin Perry who is Residing in the Casey Anthony Trial has Happy Feet/Legs

There are people who for a variety of reasons are always moving their legs or feet.

I even have seen a commercial for a pill to reduce this effect, which is a little crazy, unless it is for strictly neurological reasons that the shaking occurs, if not the drug companies are once again treating the symptom instead of the root cause.

Most often this movement is a result of excess adrenaline in the system, and the person is subconsciously burning off the adrenaline.

I have seen this occur because there was excessive internal struggles in a male individual who was going through the gender reassignment process. When he was dressed as a male would constantly be moving his legs  and when dressed as a woman her legs would be perfectly calm- the individual never knew this, but it was clear to me he/she was making a decision that he/she felt most comfortable with. 

I have also seen this with a person playing poker when they just had been dealt a big hand.

It is likely the judge in this high profile case knows that his every move and word will be documented, and recorded, and analyzed, and his system is either creating nervous energy or he is experiencing general excitement that shows in his body language in the form of lower body movements.◦

Inability To Spot Deception, Irony, Lies, Or Sarcasm Might Be Initial Sign Of Dementia

 

Elderly individuals who lose the ability to tell when somebody is being untruthful, insincere or sarcastic may be showing an early sign of a neurodegenerative disease, such as dementia, researchers from the University of San Francisco explained at the 63rd Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology in Hawaii. The presentation was called "Divergent Neuroanatomic Correlates of Sarcasm and Lie Comprehension in Neurodegenerative Disease."

Vicarious Embarrassment and Why we are Embarrassed for people like Micheal Scott on The Office

People vicariously experience embarrassment when observing others' public pratfalls or etiquette violations. In two consecutive studies we investigated the subjective experience and the neural correlates of vicarious embarrassment for others in a broad range of situations. We demonstrated, first, that vicarious embarrassment was experienced regardless of whether the observed protagonist acted accidentally or intentionally and was aware or unaware that he/she was in an embarrassing situation. Second, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we showed that the anterior cingulate cortex and the left anterior insula, two cortical structures typically involved in vicarious feelings of others' pain, are also strongly implicated in experiencing the ‘social pain’ for others' flaws and pratfalls. This holds true even for situations that engage protagonists not aware of their current predicament. Importantly, the activity in the anterior cingulate cortex and the left anterior insula positively correlated with individual differences in trait empathy. The present findings establish the empathic process as a fundamental prerequisite for vicarious embarrassment experiences, thus connecting affect and cognition to interpersonal processes.

“When we are living with people who have a delicate sense of propriety, we are in misery on their account when anything unbecoming is committed. So I always feel for and with Charlotte when a person is tipping his chair. She cannot endure it.” [Elective Affinities, J. W. Goethe].

Abstract: During conversation, women tend to nod their heads more frequently and more vigorously than men. An individual speaking with a woman tends to nod his or her head more than when speaking with a man. Is this due to social expectation or due to coupled motion dynamics between the speakers? We present a novel methodology that allows us to randomly assign apparent identity during free conversation in a videoconference, thereby dissociating apparent sex from motion dynamics. The method uses motion-tracked synthesized avatars that are accepted by naive participants as being live video. We find that 1) motion dynamics affect head movements but that apparent sex does not; 2) judgments of sex are driven almost entirely by appearance; and 3) ratings of masculinity and femininity rely on a combination of both appearance and dynamics. Together, these findings are consistent with the hypothesis of separate perceptual streams for appearance and biological motion. In addition, our results are consistent with a view that head movements in conversation form a low level perception and action system that can operate independently from top–down social expectations.
