Still not sure about other threads. Not sure where the topical thread is so if someone could post this update there as well, that would be great.

From link provided above:
"On two occasions, Adkins reportedly walked out of the polygraph examinations he volunteered for. He failed the first phase of his third exam and, during the second phase, indicated Hailey Dunn could be found in Scurry County but refused to complete the exam when more specific questions about her location were asked."
BBM
SA "indicated" he knew Hailey could be found in Scurry County. It doesn't say he "told" investigators that information.
I don't know how many of you have taking a polygraph test, but in my younger days, I had to take a couple as a prerequisite for employment, and another one when money was stolen where I worked a summer job. Polygraphs measure and record physiological indices such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity while a person is usually asked and answers a series of "yes" or "no" questions.
After reading the above quoted paragraph, IMO, I believe SA may not have verbally "told" investigators that Hailey could be found in Scurry County. SA was asked many questions by the polygraph examiner. Among those questions, and interspersed with others, I'm sure he was asked, "Do you know where Hailey is?" "Do you think Hailey could be somewhere in Mitchell County? "Do you believe she could be in in Big Spring or Howard County?" "Is it possible Hailey is in Scurry County?" Even if SA said, "I don't know," when he was asked that last question, there must have been an automatic and significant physiological response. That led the polygraph examiner to try to ask SA more questions about the possibility of Hailey being in Scurry County. When pressed with further questions, SA got upset and left. In essence, SA didn't
vocally tell the polygraph examiner Hailey was in Scurry County, but his body's response to the question "indicated" he thought she was there.
Obviously, polygraphs are not allowed as court evidence. They are an investigative tool, and they have limitations, but there was something in SA's polygraph that hit a nerve when it came to Scurry County.
