The admission on June 6 by Shannon Guess Richardson that she had mailed ricin-laced letters to President Barack Obama and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, after having contacted authorities to implicate her husband, was foreshadowed by the highly deceptive behavior she exhibited in a statement she had made to E! News that was published on June 3.

On May 23, Alicia Menendez of the Huffington Post conducted an interview via webcam with John McAfee, founder of the antivirus software company that bears his name, who in the past year has been mired in controversy. McAfee fled his home in Belize after government authorities there sought to question him about the Nov. 11, 2012, murder of his neighbor, Gregory Faull. QVerity has conducted a behavioral analysis of the interview, and has found a high level of deception exhibited by McAfee. Collectively, his deceptive behaviors indicate the high likelihood that McAfee was involved in Faull’s death, and that he has little or no information to the contrary. The high volume of attack behaviors we observed reflects a desperation and a last-resort mentality, which are indicative of McAfee’s fear that he is out of options, that  the authorities may be closing in on him, and that he will be apprehended—possibly sooner rather than later.
