Waterboarding, duh.

All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis

Could also try wiretapping. Hire someone for round-the-clock surveillance.

when the lie starts, stop him/her and make them clarify the lie, have them retell the story several times, stopping them to point out that their story changed, confront lies. life is difficult enough without having to wade through bullshit

ask about the supposed lie numerous times at various times and as the story changes a little (and if its a lie it will) the keep breaking it down until the person in turn gives up enough information to confront them about the lie and all your backed up statements will shut them out so bad they will have no ground to stand on.
I do it all the time and its tried and true

Be conscious of it and steer conversation in the direction of the lie.
-------------------- "America: Fuck yeah!" -- Alexthegreat “Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day.” -- Thomas Jefferson The greatest sin of mankind is ignorance. The press takes [Trump] literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally. --Salena Zeto (9/23/16)

Asking about details of the lie always gets 'em.
