Pyramid Scams
What is a Pyramid Scam? Pyramid scams have lots of names; after all, most
adults know that Pyramid businesses are illegal and can land you in the
pokey making license plates and wearing baggy orange jumpsuits. And so
they give them names such as "referral marketing", "binary
compensation" or "matrix marketing" and hope that the next
person talked into joining the get-rich-quick company won't be smart enough
to figure out what it really is...a plain old pyramid scam.

Catching
A Suspect In A Lie: Not Always A
Symptom Of Guilt
A skilled investigator learns to withhold certain inside information from
a suspect during an interview in the hope that he can catch the suspect
in a lie. For example, the suspect may lie about knowing the victim, being
in the vicinity of the crime or having a prior conviction. This documented
lie can later be used to good advantage during an interrogation where
the investigator states that just as he knows the suspect lied about (knowing
the victim) the investigator also knows that the suspect committed the
crime. Furthermore, the documented lie can be used to impeach the suspect’s
credibility and character, e.g., “If you don’t get this straightened
out today no one is ever going to believe anything you have to say in
the future. People are going to say, ‘We know Fred lied about knowing
her, Fred is probably also lying when he says that he is sorry he did
this.’” A John Reid Article.

Criminal investigator Gavin Kelly digs for truth
Her name is Lucky. At least that's what she goes by. In late 2006, she
witnessed a drug transaction during which police fingered the wrong guy
for the illegal buy. Now that man awaits trial and could possibly get
prison time if he's wrongly convicted.
That's where Gavin Kelly steps in.
Understanding
Urban Legends & E-mail Hoaxes
An Urban Legend is a story that has been told so many times that
people start believing it to be true. Many of them are harmless and just
caution the reader to be especially careful. The most damage they do is
rob us of our valuable time and get us concerned about things that are
only a figment of a creative writer's imagination. (For instance, finding
hypodermic needles in the seats at movie theaters or in the sandbox at
children's playgrounds.)
Investigating
Possible Fabricated Claims
A recent case involving a University of Wisconsin student who falsely
claimed that she was abducted highlights some important characteristics
of these investigations. This particular case quickly achieved national
attention and was followed on a daily basis by morning talk shows. The
reason for this attention was probably because the media were able to
build suspense by showing surveillance video of the victim leaving her
apartment the night of her alleged abduction. It certainly was not because
of the scarcity of missing person cases nor was it the rarity of claims
of alleged abductions. Indeed, while this drama was unfolding in Madison,
Wisconsin, police 150 miles to the northeast were investigating another
mysterious disappearance of a school teacher that also turned out to be
faked. Because these cases tend to be high profile, an agency must be
sensitive, but also diligent, in their investigation. A John Reid Article.
