It is truly amazing to me how quickly these investigations widen, once the words "Nancy Grace" are spoken.
It was public knowledge hours ago that she was covering Joshua.
I am guessing that they probably knew before then, that the producers probably called to get information.
They had to know that she would fry them if they were not covering every base.
I wonder, would polygraphs be happening if he wasn't on Nancy's page? I would love to know the precise timing of their first contact with Nancy and the first mention to the family of the polygraphs. Not that we ever will... but I would love to know.
Maybe this is like Ethan Stacy, where they knew from the first few minutes that the persons responsible for caring for the child were responsible for harming him. That is always possible. It certainly sounds to me like the polygraphs were requested today however. Which makes me question the timing of Nancy getting involved. :waitasec:

He OBVIOUSLY had SOMETHING to hide. If it where me, I would tell them to search anything and everything! Break windows if you have to. Although, since he wasn't around, I don't see him involved in this case, but maybe he needed to hide something else MOO.
We have had a couple of missing kids in our area who were not missing long enough (thankfully) to need media attention. We have one little boy with autism who goes missing a few times a year.
Before the cops are even AT our house I am out there checking the water, horses and then cars and trailers. (He likes water and horses.) Once I clear a car I lock it, to ensure no one can get in it after I have checked it. Then I open it for LE if they want to also check it.
Our butler building, our hayloft, our garage, our storage, our upstairs deck, our crawlspace... all 2 acres of property. I have searched that property so many times for a missing neighborhood child or animal, it is almost robotic for me. Our house itself is always secure because of my own wanderer.
I hope it would be different if it was a criminal investigation. But at this point, the officers know me. They stop by and ask if I've had a chance to check everywhere or if I need help (if my own kids are sick or I can't get into the hayloft with my shoulder or something.) If I say I've checked and secured it all, they thank me for making their job easier and move on. This includes neighbors property who have ponds and horses, since the little boy likes both. I am not even sure LE knows we don't own those, because they are the first places I look.
If they wanted to search it all themselves, that'd be fine with me as well as the rest of my family.
Inside your house is one thing... I cannot imagine having any objection to LE searching the property itself. Even if you are not comfortable with it... there is a missing child, get over your discomfort. :waitasec:
