Retired agent Joe Navarro reviews the case of Rod Ramsay, an Army veteran living in Tampa, Florida, suspected of committing espionage while stationed in Germany. While interviewing Ramsay forty-two times, Joe recorded the evidence to prove that the spy handed the Soviets vital military secrets that could destroy the US.
In this episode, Joe Navarro also reveals some myths about reading body language and what different nonverbal cues indicate. Through his work on the Ramsey case and others, Joe studied, refined, and applied the science of nonverbal communications. Based on his expertise in the body language field, Joe was assigned to the FBI Academy’s Behavioral Science Unit to train FBI agents and the intelligence community.
