The lack of scientific validity makes these tests invalid in a court of law, however it is often used as an investigative tool by LE outside of the court setting.How can it clear someone if it isn't based on science?

So it sounds like there is one investigation taking place by AK's family's attorney in Spain who is the head of Spain's missing persons organization.I don't recall saying they are conducting investigations of their own.
Yes, as I stated, there are at least 2 investigations that we know of according to MSM. In fact, everything we know about this case is because of MSM.So it sounds like there is one investigation taking place by AK's family's attorney in Spain who is the head of Spain's missing persons organization.
And perhaps the FBI and Interpol are assisting Spain in their investigation, although there has been no LE statement about that, just MSM reporting based on their unnamed sources - or by Ana's family attorney or friends and family of AK.
Besides the investigation brought to the courts by AK's family attorney, what is the second investigation? You mentioned upthread that the FBI and Interpol were not doing their own investigations, as far as we know.Yes, as I stated, there are at least 2 investigations that we know of according to MSM. In fact, everything we know about this case is because of MSM.
Again, there has been no LE statement regarding ANY aspect of Ana's disappearance. LE hasn't even stated that Ana is missing. We only believe she is missing due to MSM.
Also, to reiterate, David is an innocent victim.
How often is it used? Does LE often use any other methods of pseudoscience? I know sometimes they will consult a psychic, although I don't know if this is standard.The lack of scientific validity makes these tests invalid in a court of law, however it is often used as an investigative tool by LE outside of the court setting.
The Madrid police are investigating as well, according to MSM.Besides the investigation brought to the courts by AK's family attorney, what is the second investigation? You mentioned upthread that the FBI and Interpol were not doing their own investigations, as far as we know.
According to this information on the justice systems in Europe, oaths are required of witnesses in both Spanish and American courts. An oath to tell the truth is the same in both countries (U.S. and Spain) . An oath is required of all witnesses.Perhaps lie detectors are not valid in U.S. courts because everyone promises to tell the truth by swearing on the Bible.
How scientific is taking an oath?According to this information on the justice systems in Europe, oaths are required of witnesses in both Spanish and American courts. An oath to tell the truth is the same in both countries (U.S. and Spain) . An oath is required of all witnesses.
Even if a polygraph test result was admitted into the court proceedings in U.S. Court (if both defense and prosecution both agreed to do so), then this would not replace the witness' oath. They are two very different processes.
Witnesses are obliged to appear if summonsed by the court and they are obliged to take an oath or pledge to tell the truth . . .

Can you share your LE source that states the FBI is not involved?Very misleading headline from this Marca sports media site.
Speaking generally....It seems like they are just harassing an innocent victim like David. How standard is it?
I wonder why the FBI even bothers with polygraph tests. They might as well use Ouija boards in my opinion.
The FBI even requires polygraph tests to become an FBI agent. Seems like a waste of time + resources and a slap in the face of science, in my opinion. https://fbijobs.gov/sites/default/files/2022-05/Guide_Police.pdf
Also, wouldn't he [or any innocent victim] have to take the lie detector test in person?Speaking generally....
Most everybody knows polygraph are largely inadmissible... but...
It does remain a tool for LE to gage someone's reactions...
And IMO there's another benefit, more strategic, if you ask me.
Typically LE is fast to describe folks who are cooperating with an investigation and slow to call out those who are lagging. But one thing they can do is spread the word someone didn't take a polygraph.
And that has a value.
Not because of inadmissibility but because of the popular (mis) understanding of the reliability of the test.
Because for most people, right or wrong, they hear someone refused or failed a polygraph and know them whom to give the side eye.
IMO is a way for LE to say without saying, this is whom we are looking at. P.O.I.
And once published interest has an inkling that one person is the frontrunner for whom LE has sightline on, it may be just the dart to release fresh tips in so far as up until that moment the keeper of the tip did not realize its significance, fully believing in the narrative as presented.
Subliminal. If LE puts out there that they don't trust someone, those who know that someone can look st him/her more skeptically and then that someone might be niggles into contacting the tip line.
Ploy.
And if that's the case here, I hope ultimately it leads to Ana and in due course justice.

Guessing one could be administered anywhere. Results recorded by the administrator and forwarded.Also, wouldn't he [or any innocent victim] have to take the lie detector test in person?
I wonder if they have FBI-approved lie detectors in Serbia.Guessing one could be administered anywhere. Results recorded by the administrator and forwarded.
