Alameda resident Suzanne Lindsey was a vocal opponent of placing nuclear power stations in her neighborhood in the 1970s. Suzanne Lindsey has also taught gifted students at a school district near Alameda and was trained as a handwriting analyst.
Handwriting analysts support the work of law enforcement and investigators by examining documents and authenticating the writer. Since it is very unlikely that two people can form letters in exactly the same way, much of an examiner’s work involves identifying the differences between writing samples. These examiners may look for signs of forgery or alterations by comparing the writing in the document to samples written by known and unknown writers. During an analysis the forms, heights, and spacing between letters will be closely examined, and the investigator will look for signs of forgery, such as heavy pressure at the beginning and end of words. In some cases, the analyst may even appear in the courtroom to provide expert testimony.
