Statement Analysis Gets To The Truth.

Statement Analysis of 911 Call Missing Newborn.

Statement Analysis of 911 Calls comes from the teaching of Avinoam Sapir (www.lsiscan.com) in which students are taught to line up "The Expected versus The Unexpected", with analysis dealing with the 'unexpected' as cause for pausing.

Here is a call regarding four day old Caden.

What is expected from the mother making the call? What will the priority be?

Recall the 911 call of Misty Croslin, when she reported that 5 year old Haleigh Cummings went missing. Analysis of the 911 call showed that Misty Croslin's priority was to establish an alibi for herself, rather than report a missing child.

As in the 911 call of Sergio Celis, father of missing 7 year old Isabel Celis. His priority was to clear himself, and his call showed "guilty knowledge" of what happened to his daughter.

Here is the transcript with Statement Analysis in Bold type. The conclusion of the analysis is also in bold type.

GRACE: And tonight, to Wisconsin suburbs. A four-year-old baby, baby Caden, snatched from his little bassinet by a woman who fakes pregnancy with a fake pregnancy belly. She`s got a fake stroller. she`s got baby clothes, but then after she steals the baby, she abandons the baby and leaves him for dead in freezing temperatures.

GRACE: Straight out to Dan O`Donnell, anchor at WISN. Dan, what happened?

DAN O`DONNELL, WISN: Little Caden`s mother, Brianna, woke up in an absolute panic to find that Caden was missing from his bassinet, an almost unspeakable, unbelievable occurrence. She called 911 immediately.

GRACE: Let`s take a listen to that 911 call.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Rock County, 911. Where is the emergency? What`s the address? And what city?

The question is not "what happened?" but "Where?"

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Beloit, Wisconsin.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Is that Beloit Township?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What`s going on?

This is the open ended question that allows the subject to speak for herself, indicating her priority. Where one begins a statement is often the reason for the statement, and often indicates priority.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: My son is missing.

This is the expected.

Note "my son" is possessive pronoun, taking appropriate ownership.

Note priority: "is missing", not "I was sleeping"

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. How old is your son?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He`s four days old.

Note direct answer to question.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He`s what?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He`s four days old.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Four days old?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes.

And there was a knife laying next to my bed.

We note the posture of the knife is given. Please note the article, "a" in "a knife", which shows that the knife is not recognized. Often when an inanimate object's posture if given, the question should be posed: Did the subject place it there?

The articles, however, are used correctly. Guilty subjects sometimes confuse articles, which, like pronouns, are instinctive.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There was a knife laying next to your bed?

He correctly uses her language rather than introducing his own.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Is there any blood on the knife?

A natural question. Remember, time is short for this interview and the 911 operator does a good job.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No. I picked it up and seen it was a knife and then I threw it back down and looked over and my baby was gone.

Note the order:

1. I picked it up.

2. Seen it was "a" knife ("the knife" is one already recognized)

3. Threw it down>.

4. Looked over.

"my baby" is not "my son"; both taking ownership. She has introduced him as "my son" and here, the vulnerable "baby" is used.

What is the difference?

In the former, it is an introduction. While being "gone", in the latter, he is a "baby"

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Okay.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Can you just please have the police here?

Exasperation which is recognized by the operator:

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You`re not slowing help down by talking to me, I`m just trying to get more information, okay? Is your boyfriend the child`s father?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. All right. Why is he yelling? What`s going on?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Huh?

(END VIDEO CLIP)

There is naturally questions about how a mother could sleep through her baby's kidnapping, and substance abuse should always be explored.

The call does not indicate guilty knowledge, and the priority indicates the missing child's wellbeing.
