Speaking

When initiating the interview process, you may want to ask some questions regarding their home, name, and where they are from. Recognize the tone and pace in which they tell you these answers. Some people naturally talk fast while others talk slower. Once you get a good idea of how they speak on a normal basis, begin the actual interview. Did their voice change? Did they suddenly start speaking really fast? The change in the tone and pace of someone’s voice can give you a clue of the story’s validity. Some people may also use words to distance themselves from you or the story that they’re telling by using words that refer to themselves in the third person.

Covering & Body Language

Many people will often cover parts of their mouths or eyes when speaking to you if they are lying. This is because subconsciously they are trying to hide or distance themselves from you. This is not a good sign when someone is talking with you. They may fidget more and move around as well.

Your gut instinct

When all else fails, one should trust their gut instinct. Most people can pick up on social cues without even realizing it. If you get a feeling that the person isn’t telling the truth, then they may not be.

Please keep in mind these tips are only ways to help you detect when someone may be lying. They are meant to help you choose investigations or witnesses you would like to find out more information on. Do not ever call a person a liar when speaking with them. It’s unprofessional and rude. Always keep in mind that to some people, who may need mental help, the events they’ve experienced may come off as quite real.
