So getting together and talking might not make a difference but a polygraph would? I wonder if someone told her that Mark could pass a polygraph and still be responsible for Dylan's disappearance would she still move on? MOO.
In my opinion if Mark got the money to hire one or all of the professionals that you listed in your previous post they would not be able to rehabilitate his image to the majority of the people who are following this case. No matter what he's says people will not believe him. MOO.
He is answering specific questions the reporters are asking. If a reporter asks, "So, what do YOU think of this protest?" "What are YOU doing to help in the search?" Why is YOUR son having to stage a protest?" How else is he supposed to answer those questions without mentioning himself? The reporters print what they want and what sells papers. JMO
However Cory learned about his dad's LD test, I believe he is telling the truth as he knows it. And since MR will not talk about it, we only have Cory's version, easy enough for MR to dispute if untrue, i.e that he did in fact pass and that no one wants him to take another one.
I have never heard of anyone reluctant to discuss result of their own LD test if they passed, it goes against human nature, IMO.

Possibly it would for her and Cory, as she would then know he at least did as much as she did, i.e.took one, passed one and said so.

Marc Klaas' comments on Nancy Grace with re: to Kyron Horman case:
NANCY GRACE:
To Marc Klaas, president and founder of Klaas Kids Foundation. His own daughter, Polly, went missing, and since her death, he has devoted his life to finding missing people, specifically missing children. Marc Klaas, I`ve never known ever of police telling parents, Don`t talk, don`t talk to the media. Normally, they`re saying, Make a plea. Let the kidnapper hear you. Make the public interested in your child. Make them care. Make them look. Tell them the story. Tell them where you were that day. So maybe, maybe they saw your car. Maybe they saw your child. Anything! Put it out there! Am I crazy?
MARC KLAAS, KLAAS KIDS FOUNDATION:
Well, no, of course you`re not crazy, Nancy. Prior to Polly`s abduction, in fact, that was what they told people. They told people to sit by the phone, wait for a -- wait for the ransom call to come in. They told people that reporters were not their friends, that they were their enemies, and the best thing to do was to step back.
I believe we started to change all that with Polly because, quite frankly, a television reporter came up to me and said, I want an interview. I said, No, I`m not going to do any interviews. I don`t want to be the next crying parent on TV for people`s entertainment. She said, I can get more publicity for your child with 10 seconds on the evening news than you can get by nailing flyers on telephone poles for the next 100 years. And that changed everything for me. I understood exactly what she meant.
I have never turned down an interview since then, much to the consternation of many people, I`m sure. But there`s no better advocate for a missing child than a family member out there talking about them, humanizing them, asking people to come out and help find them.

So when LE said that they wont discuss who took polygraphs and any results they were only referring to the media? They told the subjects of the test how they did? If they did tell the subject a result, maybe it was a lie to put some pressure on them. LE is known to use that tactic. MOO.
Cory and his mom are creating opportunities to talk, to make sure what they want to say gets out there, not waiting for media to come ask them specific questions. He could do the same.
It would be interesting to know if the reporters had an unanswered questions OR if MR gave a list of 'off limits ' questions prior to agreeing to be interviewed.
I wonder how an initial lie detector test administered by a local law enforcement agency would compare with a second lie detector test administered by the FBI.
He's cooperating fully with LE - that is what he is doing. Perhaps he knows that the best chance of finding his son isn't going on TV every chance he gets and making veiled accusations and throwing everybody off, and instead recognizes that it is LE, and not bake sales and car washes, that will eventually solve this case.
People handle grief and tragedy very differently.
I only know from my own experience,where I was told by LE at once that I passed, and various other cases through the years where LE has sometimes addressed passed polygraphs.
Was your polygraph in a criminal case? I'm sure that there has been cases where LE has made public the results of polygraphs. But during an investigation I think that it's possible for LE to tell a subject that they failed when they actually passed. MOO.
