Unless it is confirmed by LE, I am not buying the polygraph stories taken or passed. And since LE is not talking, we don't really know. Part of sleuthing is looking at the so-called "facts" and trying the pieces out. As more info is made available, more scenarios are likely. Rumors are just that, although sometimes there is a grain of truth in what acquaintances, etc. reveal.
Either LE has the "goods" and is waiting for the appropriate time to strike, or they don't have enough proof to name a POI, eg, bring charges that the DA believe are strong enough for a conviction. In several of the recent cases I followed, LE was silent, then wham! Arrests were made. On the other hand, some cases from 20 years ago remain unsolved. We'll just have to wait and see.
Hi, Annie. Generally, for very good reasons, law enforcement does not release details about lie detector cases.
On an unrelated point, the statements by Kortne's father (especially) and the downstairs neighbors seem to me to strengthen the presumption that the crime scene did not occur in the apartment. (In what would have been almost certainly a relatively spontaneous, bloody act of violence and body transport, such evidence would have been present.)
The theories that she could not have left alive have been defended here mostly by the supposed fact that she was not wearing shoes (based on whose total recall of her belongings?) and the fact that her cellphone had been left in the apartment. To me, the latter seems to ignore cogent factors: The hour (Who exactly would Kortne be planning to call at 4:30 in the morning?) and her condition (she had been drinking, perhaps smoking weed, and, in any case, was still probably supercharged from an evening and night of high intensity events).
Also, in what seems to have been a hostile home environment (not to mention, multiple police visits that very night), it would seem likely that "hippy" Kortne would smoke marijuana outside the building rather than risk another incident. A pre-bed tote is something that one of my college friends (now a Methodist minister) habitually did. So, in my mind at least, that remains a real possibility.
