Customer Reviews
Experienced insight
Highlights the investigative process, rationally and with science. Deconstructs what people say and write to point out evidence of guilty knowledge.
Very listenable. Enjoying this experienced investigator’s take on crimes.
(Please no background music. I’m surrounded by plenty of noise already.)
and trauma
I enjoy your podcasts, in general; however, your interpretations of the potential subjects of trauma are disturbing.
For example, your interpretations of Michael Jackson’s abuse victims lack insight into how trauma victims experience trauma, speak about trauma, and get groomed for trauma.
Also, your obviating on abusers and those close to them who may look away and allow for the abuse to continue reveals your ignorance on the subject of trauma / abuse.
Most importantly, when trauma survivors speak of their traumatic experiences, they often relive their trauma in that moment.
This, their speaking in the present, or switching tenses, May very well be pointing at unresolved traumatic experiences and/or the hesitation they feel in speaking about their unresolved experiences.
Your pontificating that their statements reflect (or May reflect) deception are very troubling.
Especially as the trauma was experienced by children.
I suggest you refrain from analyzing trauma victims - or suspected trauma victims until you study trauma and the traumatic mind.
Your suppositions are dangerous: they are twisted!
Two issues
First:
Though John is an expert, when I listen to his damning analysis of the way people use words in 911 calls and when they are first talking to police, it scares the crap out of me. If someone I love were attacked or killed I would be so distraught I have no idea what I would say. To be assumed guilty by law enforcement because I may use the first person or say “I started to go into the room...?” This podcast creeps me out.
Second:
Still, I listen for John’s “just the facts” expertise. But now we have a series and have to wait two weeks for each episode, during which we are expected to remember the last one. Very frustrating. I’m waiting til it’s done to binge it.
