August 24, 2022 By Karl Leave a Comment

Narcissist versus sociopath?

  I've posted a number of blogs about fraudsters Anna Sorokin and Alexander Marc Hatton as well as pieces about the Casanova Scammer and the Tinder Swindler. It's about time now to try to figure out they can be differentiated. So, Narcissist versus sociopath. What're the differences? Using the following two lists, a leading London therapist, psychologist Mark Levrant, weighs in on the attempts to distinguish between the two. Narcissist versus sociopath - how to tell 'em … [Read more...]

The Tinder Swindler – a male Anna Sorokin?

May 24, 2022 By Karl Leave a Comment

The Tinder Swindler

  This website is about justice and equity,  and so today it's about the Tinder Swindler. It's only fair that I give equal time to a male who's similar to fraudster Anna Sorokin whom I've blogged about here and elsewhere. I have less info about the the Tinder Swindler —Netflix's name for him— than I did about Sorokin, so I promise to add second blog soon about another male who preys financially on women, the Casanova Scammer. And in order not to discriminate visually as well, I'll … [Read more...]

October 19, 2021 By Karl 9 Comments

Latent fingerprints create Silent Witnesses

  This blog looks at the recent history of forensics allowing increasing numbers of silent witnesses to testify in criminal trials. What're silent witnesses?

And here and here are former tutorials and a textbook on evidence-gathering. However, this history should be useful to those writing … [Read more...]

CRIME INVESTIGATION Tutorial II— How the FBI used fingerprints to catch MLK’s Assassin- the climax..

September 18, 2021 By Karl Leave a Comment

  As noted in my prior blog, we can learn a lot from perhaps the greatest fingerprint sleuthing effort in recent American history. That would be how the FBI used fingerprints to nab MLK's assassin in 1968, two months after the history-changing event. Besides budding criminalists, criminology students, and the general public, crime writers may be interested in how a talented writer utilized his knowledge of fingerprint  ID tactics. Thus, much of this blog showcases paragraphs from … [Read more...]

For writers, it's intended to help them incorporate fingerprint ID tactics in their novels. And, as they -  and the teachers of students like you - know, it's a good way to introduce a topic is via a story. ID tactics So I'm starting off this series with a story. It's about how the FBI … [Read more...]

Reasons you fell for a psychopath

Paris Hilton – the First Human Barbie?

It's no surprise that Margot Robbie is playing the first human Barbie in her new movie. Her looks and stature make her a natural to portray Mattel's doll introduced in 1959.  But Paris Hilton, too, can resemble the most famous toy of all. And so Paris may've beaten Margot to the punch as the first … [Read More...]
