Christian Cory was featured on the I See What You’re Saying podcast

This episode of the I See What You’re Saying podcast, Captain Christian Corey, co-director of Project Aletheia and a veteran law enforcement leader, discusses the science and discipline behind effective investigative interviewing.

Drawing on years of experience and research-based practices, Captain Corey explains how skilled interviewers uncover reliable information through thoughtful questioning, strategic evidence disclosure, and attentive listening. Rather than relying on pressure or assumptions, these methods emphasize building rapport, fostering trust, and allowing people the space to share what they know.

Throughout the conversation, Corey highlights practical techniques that help interviewers avoid common pitfalls, ask better open-ended questions, and remain focused on understanding rather than confrontation. The discussion also explores how these same communication principles extend beyond law enforcement—offering valuable insights for professionals in business, leadership, and everyday conversations where clarity and truth matter.

This episode offers a compelling look at how disciplined communication and ethical interviewing practices can strengthen investigations, improve decision-making, and support the broader mission of Project Aletheia: advancing the pursuit of truth through evidence-based dialogue.
