Stan B. Walters is well known as "The Lie Guy". He gets a fair amount of press and I've attended his Kinesic Interview and Interrogation course. Stan often uses current events to illustrate his techniques and talking points. In his most recent blog post, he takes on the "Balloon Boy" family.
We now know that the balloon stunt was a hoax. Stan mentions that "it all came down to the verbal and nonverbal cues of deception generated by the Heenes." Unfortunately, he doesn't go into any detail on what he thinks those cues were. However, there are a few listed in the CNN article linked above.
Stan talks about narrative based interviews as a way of gathering information. You can learn a lot from just listening to someone talk and watching their body language. He also mentions that the interviewer needs to be aware of what signals they are giving back to the interviewee. These are a lot of the same points I tried to make in the Social Engineering Podcast and Stan's post is a good read.
