OCSO made the statement.
Where's the statement. Did you hear it?

I think she is saying exactly what I say. Where is the briefing?? Why have we not been told. So why believe it until we hear it from the pd themself. I'm with you Seagul!

Hi guys. I'm new to this forum but this is one question I can answer, prolly the only one :crazy:. I posted this on another thread but now I see I should have posted it here. Sorry for that.
Each strand of human hair is made of three layers, the medulla,(the innermost "core"), the cortex, (the middle layer) and the cuticle (the outer layer). This outer layer looks like fish scales or feathers on a bird.
The hair of a living child would have a cuticle layer that lays down very, very smoothly. It's not been bleached or dyed and that very smooth cuticle is part of what gives a child's hair that very silky, shiny appearance.
The middle or cortex layer is a taupe/tan color. Even if the hair is pulled or cut off a living person and is no longer attached, it basically maintains its original form unless it is exposed to chemicals.
The hair that comes off a corpse has a roughed up cuticle. Not because it is detached but because his has been exposed to the decomposition chemicals that a dead body creates. This takes place in a corpse when the body starts to decompose, it breaks the chemical bonds in the hair. The cuticle layer will actually react to the decomposition fluid of the body and curl or "ruffle" up. Another thing that happens is that black rings will start to form in the cortex layer of the hair shaft which also can be easily detected under a microscope.
I know this because I'm a hairstylist and we actually had to study this when I was in school. We worked on this project for a few weeks. This was something that really stuck with me.
I can't believe I actually got to finally use that to help someone understand forensic evidence.
Um...could you tell us what an "innocent lying problem" would be? A pathalogical liar is not really a DSM-IV classification, it describes a person who lies about everything, especially things they don't "need to" (like to protect themselves from consequences).

Today Sgt. John Allen with the Orange County Sheriffs Department confirmed . . . [t]here was a dead body in the trunk of Casey Anthonys car, and that body was Caylee.

I'm just curious why in the world you think that A. The FBI is not an accurate source for information and B. It is so difficult to determine rather basic scientific information such as the difference in dead vs. live human tissue, and DNA identification?
The dead rat/mouse under your deck does not even come close.
For the sake of accuracy....
Dr. Michael Baden explained that after death, a "band" forms around the hair that is not found in the hair of a living person. This is how they can tell if a hair came from a living or deceased person. The hair found in the trunk was tested & did have that 'band' present.
I am with you!
Usually "pathological lying" refers to calculated lying for a specific purpose. "Compulsive lying" often refers to lying for no purpose, in an uncontrolled way. For example, telling lies that will be found out easily. Some compulsive liars believe their own lies while they are telling them, (maybe kind of lost in the fantasy world they are creating), but afterward when they realize what they've said, they get into an ongoing situation of having to lie more and more to cover previous lies. They say compulsive liars may lie due to growing up with a constant fear of punishment, or because they grew up with a parent who had the same problem. Compulsive liars feel safer and more comfortable when they are lying than when they are telling the truth.
Pathological lying usually refers to purposeful lying, for self-serving purposes, and often with a disregard for the rights or well-being of others.
Thanks for the info. Very informative. We need more of that from the detectives in this case. None the less call me stupid, I still prefer to hold out hope until I can no longer.
A vietnam veteran friend of mine once told me that corpses in battlefields were often not too smelly, that the smell mainly depended on what or how much matter was in the bowel, basically, or whether the bowel was pierced. Just his opinion though.

Me too! I know & see what everything points too but I'll be darned if I am losing hope. My fragile heart cannot allow me too. I am extremely jaded after having a child. I cannot fathom what happened so I choose not too. Besides, there is just so much info, parties involved, it leaves a glimmer of hope IMO. Please don't flame my gullibility.
Seagull Are you saying CA did not lie for her own benefit? purposful, self serving and with a disregard for the rights or well being of others? please explain as this is over my head!!!Usually "pathological lying" refers to calculated lying for a specific purpose.
