Doesn't matter, they can't arrest him for failing a polygraph!!! That's just not enough to get an arrest warrant, I'm sorry but that's fact. If that was all LE was waiting on, they could have arrested him back in the beginning.
Even if he had failed it, he would STILL not have looked as bad as he did by refusing it. Those polygraphs are not going to clear him, nor send him to jail, I don't care what anybody tells you. Yes, LE will say they will help clear their name, but that is just to get them to cooperate. They can still investigate a person even if they passed a poly. The poly alone does not always advance a case one way or the other. I know this, my son has dealt with a lot of cases and this is what he told me. He ran the CID (Criminal Investigation) here for over 10 years, he knows what he is talking about!
I agree. The poly isn't the "end game" as many would have us believe. It's simply a tool....and when I got to thinking, I started considering some LE tactics, and I'm just throwing this out there to see what others think:
There is a task force, and IMO, it would consist of someone from the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit...at the very least, if not directly assigned to the task force, there would be someone available to consult on this case.
MR behavior is not "unusual" in terms of what the profilers from the BAU see routinely. The question is, how do they "handle" this personality type? We may actually be seeing some of their strategy playing out:
The mysterious fishing pole....one is coincidentally found and discounted.
The dog hits....mysteriously discounted. (Brush?? comon)
The "Last Electronic Communication (texting)"....confusing in itself, in light of when that information was released and the "fuzzy" nature of the wording.
LE's own "nonchalance" regarding the case. (mimicking the possible POI's behavior?)
Their "tolerance" and "no comment" attitude about the rising pressure on MR from the community...as if to condone those acts, (which usually isn't done).
I think this list could be much longer...Anyone?
One of the best ways to deal with someone like MR is to do exactly what they do...Divert, Distract, Deflect. Keep them off balance. If they attempt to "lead" the investigation with "clues"...discount those clues. When they attempt to confuse issues, confuse them. So on and so on....
I see strategy at work here....
(I hope)
