Dr. Mozelle Martin — widely known as The Ink Profiler — is a forensic handwriting expert who has been called everything from a “snake oil salesman” to a “charlatan, liar, and fraud.” Context matters, especially in forensic handwriting analysis, questioned documents, and high-profile cases like JonBenét Ramsey, Kurt Cobain, and BTK.
When the first wave of online attacks hit in the fall of 2022, it honestly surprised me. I had been in business since 1987, working on public cases for decades, and it took that long before anyone tried to discredit me. At first it felt isolating — as if I were the only expert under fire. But the reality is clear: no matter the field, every public figure gets attacked eventually.
Think about it:
Diet gurus are accused of being frauds.
Doctors are called liars.
Scientists are dismissed as hacks.
Authors are labeled opportunists.
Journalists are branded as fake news.
Musicians, commedians, and actors are dragged for every personal choice.
Tech innovators like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg are both idolized and vilified.
Medical figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Oz are attacked from opposite sides.
Even popular talk show hosts like Oprah and Alex Jones have entire online hate communities.
If you share opinions, research, or casework in public, you become a target. And if you’ve upset people enough to make them spend energy on you, it usually means you’re doing something right.
That’s why my work at Ink and Integrity isn’t sugar-coated. I write about forensics, cold cases and handwriting analysis, human behavior, and how to live ethically in an unethical world. I write in a way that removes the rose-colored glasses many prefer to keep on. Human behavior is complex, and sometimes dark. Pretending otherwise does nothing for victims, investigators, or justice.
Context matters. A Reddit thread or YouTube video will never tell the full story about me or anyone they target. But decades of professional work — in forensic handwriting analysis, criminology, and cold case consulting — speak for themselves. See for yourself.
No matter your politics, I’m very thankful I’m not a politician. I don’t know anyone more universally dissected, criticized, and hated online than Donald Trump — and perhaps Hillary Clinton. If the world can devote years of energy to hating two of the most famous people alive, then a handful of anonymous posts about me are just part of the territory.
If you come across something about me online and want clarification, contact me directly. My life is an open book, and I’d rather answer your questions with context than leave you with half-truths or anonymous speculation.
