Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: With me renowned expert Susan Constantine, Body language star Susan
- 0:06Speaker 1: break down. What you observe in Susanne Morphy's Husband's statement. Yeah.
- 0:13Speaker 1: To begin with, he says, oh, Susanne. Usually when somebody
- 0:17Speaker 1: says oh, there's usually a strong emotion, there's spear, maybe
- 0:21Speaker 1: there's some sympathy behind it. It's kind of an odd
- 0:24Speaker 1: way to open up with, oh, Susanne. And then he
- 0:27Speaker 1: uses the word if so, if it's that question is
- 0:30Speaker 1: like a question mark, if you can find her, if
- 0:32Speaker 1: she is out there? So that is a kind of
- 0:35Speaker 1: struck me as kind of odd. One of the things
- 0:38Speaker 1: that I was really interested in was the pausing. There
- 0:42Speaker 1: was a short pause when he says, if there's anyone
- 0:47Speaker 1: has has you, and there's this pause, and when there's
- 0:51Speaker 1: a pause, he's gathering his thoughts. That's what we call
- 0:54Speaker 1: cognitive blow do you got to tell a story differently
- 0:57Speaker 1: from what you know? So therefore there's a light kind
- 1:00Speaker 1: of a brain mishap, so to speak. So then that's
- 1:04Speaker 1: where you hear the pause in his own language, and
- 1:07Speaker 1: itself seemed to appear that he's kind of holding back information.
- 1:12Speaker 1: He's not really speaking to I love you so much,
- 1:16Speaker 1: with emphasis I miss you so much. The voice inflection
- 1:21Speaker 1: is very flat and monotone, and it doesn't bring me
- 1:25Speaker 1: to feel that emotion that he is really missing his wife.
- 1:30Speaker 1: He pauses again. There's a second pause when he says
- 1:33Speaker 1: we love you and we miss you, and he paused
- 1:36Speaker 1: and he says, no questions asked. I thought that was
- 1:40Speaker 1: a really odd statement right in the middle of it,
- 1:44Speaker 1: Like you know, I am so a concern that I
- 1:47Speaker 1: don't want to know what hells happened. I just no
- 1:50Speaker 1: questions asked. I think that that was embedded in there
- 1:53Speaker 1: for a particular reason, and when something is out of place,
- 1:56Speaker 1: I pay particular attention to it with me. Sue in
