  • Love it!

    I really appreciate what these gentlemen do! The sensitivity they have to victims is genuine. I hope in the future they do more unsolved missing or murdered cases. To help get tips in those cases. I feel their profiling expertise is needed in those cases. I enjoyed listening to the Lisa buziak case even though the dad was tough to listen too. You guys did great in that situation and it was definitely noticed by me.

The Hidden History of Non-Human Intelligence
Q: When looking at petroglyphs that seem to depict modern UAPs or non-human entities, how do you distinguish a literal recording from symbolic art?
The interpretation is subjective, but consistency in symbol use across regions can indicate shared exposure to events, while unique localized symbols may reflect personal or cultural storytelling rather than direct documentation.
The Art and Science of Justice: Insights from a Seasoned DA
Q: How did the Stacey Castor case demonstrate the power of forensic linguistics in court?
A linguistic expert initially offered a distorted interpretation of Ashley and Stacey's letters; when Bill and the co-counsel confronted the expert with actual documents and handwriting inconsistencies, the defense expert's argument collapsed, and the evidence supported Stacey Castor's guilt.
The Art and Science of Justice: Insights from a Seasoned DA
Q: What was the turning point in the Juanita Hoyt case that reshaped public understanding of the deaths of the children?
Exhumations and a re-examination of medical conclusions, supported by a pediatric forensic pathologist and later corroborated by re-reading the Pediatrics Magazine article, revealed Munchausen syndrome by proxy and a pattern that contradicted the initial SIDS diagnosis, shifting the case toward a homicide investigation.
