What detectives look for when catching out lying criminals | 60 Minutes Australia
Aug 09 2023
Let's be honest, we've all told a lie or two. Usually they're pretty harmless and not very convincing. But there are bare-faced liars, people who try to get away with murder, quite literally. You've seen them on the news, tearfully pleading for help in finding a missing loved one. And all the time, they know their husband, wife, even their own child, is already dead.

And in 2009, a type of crime fighter is moving in to unmask these killers and their crocodile tears. They're human lie detectors, who can pick up the smallest twitch, the slightest irregularity. One false move and you're gone.

For over forty years, 60 Minutes have been telling Australians the world’s greatest stories. Tales that changed history, our nation and our lives. Reporters Liz Hayes, Tom Steinfort, Tara Brown, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Adams look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes.
