CRIMECON PRESENTS
WE KNOW YOU'RE LYING
FRIDAY, APRIL 29 | 8:30 PM | BREAKOUT ONE (CONCORDE) PARIS HOTEL
WE KNOW YOU'RE LYING
Lies, and liars, are everywhere. Sometimes the lies are little: our teenager explaining where they’ve been. Sometimes they’re much bigger: Chris Watts telling the media he had no idea where his family was.
What almost all of these lies have in common is that the person tell them believes they can deceive you. No one tells a lie expecting to be caught–yet their tells are everywhere. You just have to know where to look….and how to really listen.
In this CrimeCon exclusive, two of the world’s best human-BS-detectors join forces to teach us all real, practical skills to separate fact from fiction in our own lives. Fil Waters, the legendary homicide detective and former host of The Interrogator, and Susan Constantine, a leading authority on body language as it pertains to deception detection, will show us not only how to ask the right questions…but also how to listen to the answers by using more than just our ears.
With new skills in-hand attendees will be put to the test in a CrimeCon version of an interrogation. Do you have what it takes to figure out who is lying to you?
The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.
- Stephen King
