Statement Analysis is not done "in a box" that is, the squares don't always fit in, which is why we never conclude deception on a single indicator. Statement Analysis is best done in the original language of the subject. Here, we have English as a second language, which means that we proceed with caution, just as we would viewing dialect, region, etc, but we know that language is used for communication and words chosen are done so for the purpose of communication.

SENATH, MO (KFVS) -
FBI and Senath Police announced they are looking for an older model white van in connection with the disappearance of 3-year-old Breeann Rodriguez.
Beyond that there are few details regarding the description of the van. Police are not seeking a specific driver.
The FBI cautions this is one of many possibilities.
This is still considered a missing and endangered persons cases. It is still not considered an abduction though the FBI does treat their approach of the investigation as such.
Agents say starting tomorrow they will have less of a presence in the case but they say they will continue to assist with the investigation.
Breeann was riding her bike with her brother around noon on Saturday. Her brother went inside for a bit and came out to find her and her pink bike with training wheels gone.
Her trail goes cold from there. Her parents say they are heartbroken and anxious for their daughter's safety.
"She'd always say 'Daddy I'm here,'" Edgar Rodriguez said. "When I'm driving I just keep hearing her say 'Daddy I'm here.'"
Note that "she'd" is a contraction for "she would"; noting the tense.
Note that he hears her say "Daddy, I'm here" while driving. Is he a driver? is this when he drives searching for her?
"just keep" is present tense. When she "would" say this, was it specifically referencing times when he drove?
His wife, Claudia says nothing is the same without her.
"She always wanted her nails done," said Claudia. "Every time she put a dress on she'd tell me she's my princess."
Note that she "wanted" her nails done; "wanted" is past tense. If this speaks of specific times when she wanted to get her nails done, it is appropriate. Note that this may reference the specific times of putting her dress on, and "she's" is contraction for "she is" which is present tense.
"This is a calm street everybody knows everybody," said.
He and his wife, Claudia were out searching the fields and neighborhoods again Tuesday.
"We have two city workers that live on the end of this street," Rodriguez said. "Somebody saw something, something that didn't belong. If somebody asks me one person that would take my daughter, I don't have anybody that would come to mind."
Note the the two city workers have likely already been interviewed by police.
Note that he uses the word "person", which is gender neutral. This could be:
1. He does not know the gender of kidnapper (s)
2. He suspects/knows someone but wishes to conceal gender.
Note that "I don't have anybody" is offered here, in the negative, making it sensitive. It does not appear that he was asked this question, rather that he asked the question of himself. Police should carefully interview him to seek to learn who he has in mind at this point. It appears that he has someone in mind.
The couple says they believe Breeann was abducted. More than 200 volunteers have searched the community since Saturday. The couple feels if she wandered off, she would have been found by now.
"Maybe it was someone who saw her and thought she was pretty," said Claudia. "We just want them to bring her back."
"someone" is singular; "them" is plural
"pretty" should lead police to question the mother if she knows of any sex offenders or pedophiles in her family, neighborhood, circle of people she knows.
"As of right now we're interested in a white van," said Senath Police Chief, Omar Karnes. "It's a white older model panel van with no windows in the side of it. It has a ladder on the back of it where you can access the roof of the van. We're also working on a few other tips at this time. If you have any information, call."
Chief Karnes says he also believes someone is involved in her disappearance.
"I know somebody's involved," said Chief Karnes. "But I can't prove it yet. We don't have a person of interest at this time."
Please note the change from "I" (strong) to "we" (weakened) as the chief likely has a specific person in mind. The first person singular, "I", is strong:
"I know somebody's involved" would be the obvious: somebody had to be involved, but then he adds: "but I can't prove it yet" (yet, as of this point). Then he weakens with "we don't have a person of interest" with "we" being the police department. Not all may share his suspicion.
Tuesday afternoon, the FBI put up a Billboard in Cape Girardeau at the intersection of Broadway and Kingshighway.
Police ask anyone with information to call the FBI tip number at 1-866-371-TIPS.
Tips will also be taken at the Senath Police Department at (573) 738-2818 or the Dunklin County Sheriff's Office at (573) 888-2424.
As the FBI aids local police in the search for Breeann, agents hope parents take advantage of a new tool that could make a real difference in a case like this.
The bureau has a new app for the iPhone called "Child ID".
Parents can store information about their kids, like pictures, height, weight, birthmarks.
Then law enforcement would have access to that information immediately if those children ever go missing. Click here for more info.
The FBI installed a billboard Tuesday afternoon in Cape Girardeau.
It includes Breeann's picture and information.
They encourage anyone with information, no matter how minor you might think it is, to call authorites. You don't have to leave your name.
