Lesson Plan
I. Introduction
A Motivational statement
Interviewing suspects and victims is a daily part of law enforcement
and case worker activity and is a crucial part of discovering facts
about a allegations. Effective interviewing involves understanding
when interviewees are being truthful and when they are being
deceptive. Since the natural reaction to committing a crime often
entails attempting to avoid prosecution it's equally important to
understand how to properly motivate someone to provide an open
and honest account about what happened and why_ Interviewing
even guilty people does not have to become a hostile encounter in
order to be effective_
Often the law enforcement officer or caseworker only gets one
chance to talk to a suspect_ It is important to obtain a truthful account
about the event being investigated.

City of Fort Worth and Dennis Parker—Exhibit A
II. Communication methods and verbal 1 non-verbal signs of
deception
A. Non-verbal communication is the most common communication method
between people
B. Speech(verbal communication) is a means of communicating and
includes--
1.
ncludes_1. Language
2_ Accents
3. Colloquialisms
4_ Jargon
6_ Nomenclature
6. Terminology
7_ Proper use of language
C. Understanding when verbal and non vernal communication are
incongruent is important in understanding when someone is being
deceptive
D. Effective interviewing does not have to be confrontational to be effective
E. How do we detemarne if these verbal responses are truthful or
deceptive? (see slide)
III. Bait Questions
A_ Examples of bait questions include
Il."If we were to check your phone records,would we find any calls made to
(victim)?"

City of Fort Worth and Dennis Parker—Exhibit A
IV. Involuntary anatomical responses to the stress of deception
A. Anatomical reactions_ Being deceptive usually induces stress. Your
body reacts to stress the same way no matter where the stress corms
from- tf you were in a fight for your lite, arguing with someone about an
important topic or trying to lie to your mom will all have the same
physiological result_ Look for these reactions and if they occur unusually
then your interviewee will probably be lying to you-
1_ Sweating palms, underarms
2_ Dry mouth
3_ Dry eyes
4_ Nervous energy
b_ Lack of eye contact
6. Indigestion
7. Dilated pupils
Stressful reactions
The body reacts to stress the same way no matter the source
The reactions involve:
Body fluids
Vision
Cardio pulmonary
Skeletal muscles
Smooth muscles
B.
Non-Veribaals_ Non-verbal indicators are communications that occur while
people are lying with the words they speak_ Those words are a conscious
act and controllable to an extent_ Non-verbals are those things that
accompany speech and are normally as much if not more reliable about the
communication than the words themselves_ People tell the truth with these
non-verbals because they are not normally conscious of them_ Non-verbal
communicators fall into several categories--
Professional
ategories=Professional Services Agreement Between Page 15 of 28

2 Paralinguistics
3. Proxemics
4_ Kinesics
5. Pupillometrics
fi_ Oculesics

C. Attitudes_ Attitude can be a very good indicator of a person's truth or
deceptiveness_ The below attitudes are found in both cases:

predictably characteristics of deceptive people_
H Nervousness
■ Common at the beginning of an interview,truthful subjects
become more relaxed as the interview goes on_ Deceptive
interviewees become more nervous as the interview goes on
E Anger
■ Truthful people will remain angry throughout the interview,
anger may grow Deceptive people's anger is contrived and
will dissipate as the interview continues
E Fear
■ Similar to the changes involving nervousness. Truthful
people will become less fearful and deceptive people will
show increased fear as the interview continues
Attitudes found in truthful people are:
Open
Cooperative
Helpful

Evasive
When to make assessments about deception or truth;
Make assessments at three key points
When the question is asked
When the question is answered
Up to 5 seconds after the question is answered
D. Other gestures. Watch for other cues in non-verbal assessments such
as body posture, body movement, supportive gestures and grooming
gestures. Some of these gestures are identified as 'kinesics"and are a part
of the human 'fight or flight"response.
E. Verbal_ An immediate response is a sign of truthfulness. Liars are

VI. Theme development; encouraging the truth-
A. Theme development is the practice of creating a reason that the
interviewee believes the interviewer finds acceptable for the event being
investigated Since suspects are generally afraid of the consequences of
beteg found responsible for a crime, the interviewer needs to find a `socially
acceptable"reason for the interviewee's participation or commission of an
act Often an act can be seen as acceptable(therefore admissible)instead
of as a crime_ The interviewer should develop a theme that helps the
interviewee explain away his or her actions even the thence is entirely
fabricated by lire interviewer_ Some examples_
1- Theft_
a. The interviewee did not intend to pennaneady deprive the owner
of the object or cunmcy stolen and in fact was preparing to return the
object or currency when the interview intervened.
b. The interviewee has unusual reasons for the theft that would be
acceptable by society, sick children,spouse,or parents naldng the
theft absolutely necessary
c. The interviewee was playing a practical Jobe on the owner.
2- Rape-
a- The sexual intercourse was not forced and the interviewee
was actually seduced by the accuser_ (Interviewer might
encourage this theme by telling the interviewee that the
victim attempted to seduce him as well-)
b_ The interviewer was intoxicated at the time, encouraged by
the victim and the physiological changes inherent in male
arousal caused his brain to not function nominally, he has a
disorder that prevents him from thinking dearly under those
circumstances-
3. Assault_
a- The victim has a history of being combative and probably
threatened the interviewee on another occas; interviewee
was merely defending himself from a perceived imminent
threat_
b. (Other—from the class)

The course case study provides an intimate view of how MSBP manifests,
early indicators or factors that can help with diagnosis and when to suspect
the behavior_
VIII. Symptoms of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy

now the accepted psychiatric category for MSBP. The definition includes the
following:
■ Intentional production or feigning of physical or psychological signs or
symptoms in another person who is under the individual's cane_
■ The motivation for the perpetrator's behavior is to assume the sick role by
proxy-
■ External incentives for the behavior, such as economic gain, avoiding legal
responsibility, or improving physical well-being, are absent

IX. Example of theme development in successful interview of
murder suspect.
The interview to be shown is one of a female suspected of murdering 2 of
her children and attempting to murder a third. The instructor conducted the
interview and will explain how the interview took place_ Synopsis of the
case is as follows:
This case began after notification that a dependent child of a military member
had been treated and released from the hospital following his near death from
what had been diagnosed as SIDS_ Upon further review the investigator
discovered that 2 other children in that same family had died, both diagnosed as
SIDS deaths. One of those deaths had occurred in the same jurisdiction 2 years
earlier and not investigated by law enforcement. The first death in this family
occurred 5 years earlier in Hawaii and not investigated as a criminal event In
the instant investigation,neither spouse nor medical personnel had made
allegations nor was there evidence of criminal wrongdoing_ There was no
evidence that either spouse was responsible for the previous deaths nor were
there any signs either death was homicide.
The only way to resolve this case was to interview the parent most likely to have
been culpable in the death (if not a SIDS death)_ Identifying which parent was
probably responsible became easier after the mother of the children made a false
allegation of assault and attempted rape. During a background investigation into
Professional Services Agreement Between Page 21 of 28
City of Fort Worth and Dennis Parker—Exhibit A
her personality and habits, suspicion grew and ideas for a successful themed
interview began to take shape. The interview place and circumstances were
carefully planned out by the interviewer.The interview culminated with enough
evidence from her statement to warrant prosecution and ultimately 2 convictions.
After hearing the full circumstances of this case students will discuss what
themes might be used in a case like this one_
Videotaped interview played, discussion to follow_ (Approx 60—90 minutes with
