Lie Detector Theft case in Birmingham
Lie Detector Theft case in Birmingham
Last week we had a theft case in Birmingham where money had been stolen from a house, on the initial call the client took our advice and asked all suspects if they would be prepared to take a lie detector test to prove their innocence. This particular case was causing a lot of unhappiness in the family as they had no idea who the thief was. Its also worth noting ion these cases it can be rare that we actually get to run a lie detector test on the actual thief as they will do whatever they can to avoid talking a lie detector test, if they are forced to and are unable to back out they are the type of person we see cheat on a test and perform what we call countermeasures. Fortunately these countermeasures are easy for an experienced examiner to see and make a polygraph test 100% accurate as why would an innocent person try to cheat on a lie detector test. We work with the client to develop three suitable questions that cover all aspects of the theft including involvement. We love a theft case on the lie detector as its black and white, you either took the money or you didn’t, there is no middle ground or excuse. Another unfortunate aspect is often when someone fails they don’t initially admit to taking the money, this will often come out later on, or they in many cases offer to pay it back but still claim their innocence.
With this particular case we were testing family members who knew the money was in the house, always interesting to note family tend not to take all the money but some of it, this is just a pattern we notice after working these cases for years now. Whilst in this case all four passed the test and were really happy to be able to clear their names, it has allowed our client to narrow down his field of investigation and restore some family harmony and trust. I suspect we maybe testing more people for the client in the future in Birmingham.
