JOPLIN, Mo. — A judge denied a motion Monday by the attorney for Eddie Salazar Sr. seeking records related to a polygraph examination of Salazar that was conducted while his 8-month-old son was still missing and presumed kidnapped.

The polygraph exam was administered to Salazar, 30, by the Missouri State Highway Patrol on Feb. 5, 2010, about 15 hours after Salazar reported that his son was abducted by one or two masked men he said had broken into their home in Carthage late at night.

The body of the baby boy, who shared his father’s name, was discovered the next day along the edge of Spring River east of Carthage, and his father was charged with second-degree murder.

Public defender Larry Maples stated in a motion filed July 6 that his client was told after the polygraph exam that he failed the test, and that the state maintains that Salazar then made certain incriminating statements. Maples wrote in his motion that the defense should be entitled to a copy of all polygraph records and to have an expert examine them.
