Lesson 4 - Crime Case Studies Involving Polygraphing and Forensic Writing Analysis

Case Study #3

Case Study - Hair Salon Embezzlement

Hair Salon Embezzlement Mystery

Janet Milton, owner of a successful hair salon called Janet' s Hair Boutique, contacts the local police after she notices $5000.00 missing from her business account. Ms Milton turns over to police a withdrawal slip for $5000.00 upon which she says her signature had been forged (sample evidence A).  Janet denies completing this withdrawal and suspects one of her three managers because each is familiar with her business bank account.

Janet Milton provides the police with three old deposit slips, each of which has been filled out by her managers: 

Each manager had been responsible for one of these deposits and, therefore, the handwriting on each deposit slip could be used for comparison purposes. Investigators ask Janet to provide them with a copy of an old withdrawal slip with her handwriting on it as well (sample evidence E).
