The fact that his defenses always paint him as the victim “she framed me” “They planted the blood” demonstrates extraordinary levels of narcissism. Scary.

[@geneswygert8865]

A sensible intelligent like that saying "I don't see any advantages of taking the test", tells you he knows he will indeed fail it miserably.

[@jodygirl]

I believe he mentioned thinking they could never give him the test while he was in prison. Then lying and saying he never wanted it. I knew then he was guilty.

[@cathyprosser1050]

Exactly. By his dancing around the issue with such calculation, and in the end refusing to do it, just further convinces me of his guilt. It's not at all that I believe in the accuracy of the test. But, when a legitimate suspect refuses to take it, that refusal in itself is very telling indeed. It is for law enforcement and I can understand why Louise's agency uses it as a tool to help her determine whether or not a person is worthy of a retrial.

[@iknitbecuzmurderisfrownedupon]

Polygraphs aren't trustworthy. Period. We cannot fault anyone for not taking one, or claim it proves guilt.

[@JaneK6557]

For me, the fact that his 4 children believe he killed their mother is the clincher…they know him, his habits/capabilities, and their parents relationship better than anyone else…

Since polygraphs have been proven not to work why on earth they're still used is beyond me.

[@laiwingyiu5305]

He just wanted Louise to follow the leads that were favourable to his case. When Loiuse tried to test his credibility one way or other, he would be upset and being extremely uncooperative. I think after the investigation, especially the elimination of Halliwell, the guilty verdict looks more convincing than before.

[@ChrisHopkinsBass]

He definitely thinks that he's the one calling the shots - his arrogance definitely comes out when Louise asks him something that he doesn't want to answer

[@ChrisHopkinsBass]

I knew he was guilty when he started getting all "I know better than everyone else" when he was being asked difficult questions. Occam's razor says they got him bang to rights. It does surprise me that they didn't take the car in for forensic examination immediately rather than try to look in the boot in the wet. I think he went on that walk past the police station because he thought he'd be captured on the CCTV, thereby establishing his alibi, not realising that the cameras didn't work.

[@carmelmurphy602]

As soon as anyone claims that a missing woman ‘staged her own disappearance’, you know they’re guilty.

[@zombiechicken7114]

I agree polygraph should not be used. They can be inaccurate and have been shown to be very often. But I do think Glyn Is guilty. The story of her going thru the glass door. The strange idea she planted blood in his friend's car some time after she disappeared ?! he's living a fantasy. Plus being so rude about the team helping him as best they can but perhaps interrupting his day! Wow!!

[@ChrisHopkinsBass]

It's a bit like his alibi about going for a walk - he decided to establish his alibi by walking past a police station but didn't realise that the cameras didn't work

[@mareavoce1272]

Bizarre that you can be inconvenienced - from ground hog day - serving a prison sentence. Surely you’d leap at any opportunity to prove you’re not guilty. Even if you’re taken away from laundry duty!!

[@BellaLeoLicorice]

Poor Glyn. That nasty woman must have hated him so much. Goading him and then not letting him past, then when he gently pushed her out of the way she threw herself through a plate glass window just to get him in trouble. When that didn't work she staged her own disappearance. Somehow she knew he had a friend's vehicle at the time she "disappeared" so after seeing police examine it and return it she realised she should have planted some blood. Cleverly she went to his friend's house, got into the vehicle and the boot and added a wee bit of blood. She was careful to make it look like a few drops fell from her "wound" and some smeared from her bloodied body. Her hunch paid off and the police collected the car again and retested it. She must have hated poor Glyn so much that she decided that framing him was well worth never seeing her children and her family again, giving up a job she loved and never seeing her friends and the new man in her life ever again. Poor man.

[@BellaLeoLicorice]

He said she planted it. They gave the car back to the friend before testing it again and while he had the car Linda somehow managed to get into the boot and plant the blood without him noticing. He is so full of BS.

That's what I want to know. Impossible.

[@cathyprosser1050]

This Louise Shorter and her team of experts are just fantastic. Thorough, professional, fair minded, and I am enjoying these cases she has worked on. I am still waiting for the case where her work advances a case for innocence.

[@cwavt8849]

Regardless of his guilt or innocence, the doubts if a senior police officer that there was perhaps a serial killer and the blood evidence being totally missed on the first exam, I am very glad that Someone investigated this in depth. A killer going free is only slightly less than the thought of the govt stealing the freedom of an innocent man. As a child I thought that the saying, "better that 100 guilty men go free than one innocent man be imprisoned" made no sense. As an older, wiser woman, I whole heartedly agree.

[@sarahserra1630]

I can understand why he didn’t want to do the polygraph. He is in prison with a load of crims telling him not to, he’s scared he may get a false positive and it’s close to his appeal date . I don’t know if he’s guilty or not but his refusal to do it doesn’t mean he’s guilty.

[@whispermcgaughy7251]

Guilty as charged, period!

[@jemmlizzerz7823]

I really think Glyn is guilty, but have they looked into all of his ex wife's partners?? They mentioned it in the first episode but glossed over it. Anyways, I definitely think Glyn is guilty and either killed her himself or got his friend to do it. More likely himself

[@civilpanda9422]

Guilty as charged.

[@nancygaldamez6596]

Glym is guilty in my books

[@haremking0018]

Why the heck is she so surprised about the polygraph almost everyone has an opinion against it especially if someone makes it customary for everyone of their clients to take one?!

[@DJ-ct6so]

Let's think about Linda's blood being in his friend's car. If Linda had run away as Glyn claimed, how would she know that he'd used that particular friend's car on that day instead of his own car? Hence Linda planting the blood is impossible. The only other possibility (if Glyn is innocent) is if the police planted the blood. I missed the first episode, so I'm not sure if there was blood back at the house that they could have got a large enough sample from. 55:15 - Glyn implies that he expected there would be a connection between Linda and Halliwell, yet he was surprised when he was initially told that Halliwell could be involved, because it wrecked his story about Linda running away to start a new life. So he's done a complete U-turn there. What is no surprise to me is the forensics establishing that the blood couldn't have been planted. The only way it could have gotten there was that if Linda had been there with Glyn (dead or alive) on the day she disappeared.

[@Mr-gg8ek]

To be fair, he originally said he was willing to do the polygraph making no claim about wanting to do it. Those are very different assertions. As well, polygraphs are scientifically invalid, so putting any weight on them is silly.

[@rosyjacob5038]

Truth always prevails!Whether he says with his mouth or not he is guilty of murder .

[@lesare6509]

Wow, how confusing really! Serial killer who possibly had a thing for Linda, was drawing her? Halliwell was convicted of 2 murders 11 years apart, pretty sure he did do more, & maybe he planned on doing something to Linda but she disappeared before he could? Blood was found in Glyn’s friend’s car, he said he was driving. Inside Justice did a great job but the main thing is that Glyn is up for parole next year, he has done his minimum & the UK has pretty short sentences so he will probably get out. Great documentary.

[@mm-qj6cc]

When I first saw Glyns face, had guilty look like Paul Ansel (Nicola Bulley case). Thought oh I was wrong, now think my initial feeling was right.

[@mirjamweibel9678]

What happend with the Nicola bulley case? I know she was found. Was it an accident or a murder ? I am not from England, I live in Switzerland and don’t know a lot about the case. I saw a few „accusing“ her best female friend.

Why a husband thinks his wife, the Mother of his children, would run away from them is cruel. It’s abnormal and it sounded like she was a normal caring Mum. He sounds a narcissist - he doesn’t want to be released with people thinking he was a murderer.

[@peppiholliday4525]

I don't think that the truth has been found and that your organization should continue even though the police will not give you the hoovering evidence. Search evidence would show so much and that you were denied access to it I find to be abominable

[@amronronnoc742]

I'm saying guilty, drop the case when he refuses the polygraph .

[@ruththinkingoutside.707]

He’s awful convincing.. 🤔🤔 except when he’s not at all.. 🤯🫤 But what I’m strongly confused about is the polygraph test 🤷‍♀️ like.. Inside Justice HAS to know how wholly UNreliable they are?? So I can see the psychological impact of having them be willing to take a test.. BUT.. if they are actually going to put any weight behind the results? That’s concerning to me.. assuming someone was actually innocent but their stress botched the test or something.. they’re royally F’d if Inside Justice put too much weight on the results.. I can kinda see why he’d be a bit anxious about taking the test, either way 🤷‍♀️ because if it’s right or if it’s wrong 🤔 he’s lost on what’s been proven to be junk science for the most part.. I dunno.. it’s a rock and a hard place kinda thing 🤷‍♀️🤔🤔

[@bacon.dumpling]

It isn’t junk science. Stress does not influence the test, as the expert explained as well. It is a very reliable tool in investigations to in or exclude someone as a suspect. It doesn’t definitely prove guilt, that’s why it’s not used in court but is otherwise very effective to advance an investigation further.

[@lindyoliver7750]

At last someone with a comment that makes sense. You not judging just putting out a reasonable question.

[@ruththinkingoutside.707]

@@bacon.dumpling .. I’m not sure if you really got my point.. I’ve been a true crime buff for 20 years.. I completely understand why they use them in investigations, I even said I understand why they would use it for their investigation here.. but the actual way they work is not reliable, period. The variables are endless. The results require “interpretation” and there’s been numerous examples of when someone different reviews the results, they get a pass instead of a fail .. that is not “science” it’s a test that has its place used as a psychological tool in investigating, but it itself as a test is “junk science for the most part” because, if every time someone takes a test they can get different results, any results require ‘interpretation’ and are regularly given by people who don’t have to meet a set standard of proficiency and study to administer a test.. and.. most importantly, you CAN fake the test.. one of the most senior polygraph administrators for one of the big agencies in the US, completely changed his opinion on the testing, he said it was garbage because he knew how to fake it and other people knew how and he spent countless years bashing the validity of the test and telling people how to fake it to prove it was garbage and get LEOs to stop putting so much weight on the results.. until he got in trouble. If it was accurate, you could get a quantifiable result, where you can get the same pass/fail from every test and every administrator would measure results to the same metric and if it wasn’t proven to not work on ALL people, some people get wildly different results.. It’d be accepted in most courts.. the fact that it has all these different issues is exactly why it is not.. and why it’s not Real Science.. The point I was making in my comment was not about wether the test was scientific.. it was the FACT that it’s Not Reliable as a test of guilt or innocence, because the tests aren’t always accurate. And that this group, Inside Justice, should KNOW that.. So, the only thing I’m wondering is how much weight are they actually putting on the results? Because if he IS actually Innocent and he fails the (unreliable) test then he’s automatically “stamped” guilty when he’s NOT.. and the fact is that MOST people don’t understand that they are not reliable tests, so the general public would ASSUME he’s guilty just because of how someone ‘interpreted’ the results of a test he took that he had Infinitely Higher Stress related to the outcome than he would have had before he’d gotten to this point in his case.. Personally, I have a guilt complex, I never break the law, but do the little panic when you see a cop thing.. and I KNOW that if I was in a situation like his, where there was That Much Weight on the results of the test, I’d have wildly different reactions including a panic that 100% mimics Guilty Conscience Stress.. different entirely than if I was given the test in an earlier stage in the process.. hell, I have PTSD from DV.. if someone infers/accuses me of doing something I didn’t do, my anxiety shoots up uncontrollably 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ This is why they’re not reliable, and this is why I can understand why HEs reluctant to take the test.. because either way, if he doesn’t ‘pass’ he’s SCREWED.. public opinion is all he HAS at this point. And I’m sure his lawyer was screaming from the rooftops to NOT take it.. So, what was not clear, was how much did the results Actually Matter to the Inside Justice team? Are they strictly looking at it around his willingness to take it? Or. Does his results Really Matter to them as a fixed point? Because if they Do.. that’s kinda concerning.. 🤔🤔🤔 I wouldn’t want to take it either in his position, especially if his results would be made public wether he wanted them to or not.. Jeremy Kyle and Jerry Springer and that other guy have filed the general public minds with these idiotic episodes of people’s lives hanging on the results of a polygraph test 🙄🙄 yeah.. I can see exactly why he didn’t want to take the test.. He’s still slippery though 🤔🤔

[@anukataja6805]

Maybe IT was Glens friend who did the killing?

[@zombiechicken7114]

Did expect some discussion with the friend at least for sure as he would also have to be involved surely if the blood was planted by the wife?!

[@darixenous_shadowscale]

40:50 Generally speaking, polygraph test results are inadmissible in court, as they are not scientifically reliable enough for use when the stakes are so high as in court. This is because it is well documented that certain people can pass the pass the test while lying and other who are telling the truth can fail the test. It's used to measure levels of fear and physical responses, not actual lies. These tests can fail because a person who is telling the truth could be anxious and a person who is lying might not be anxious at all The results of a lie detector test are unreliable, and many innocent people have failed them. Even if you pass the test, this does not mean that you will not be charged with committing a crime. etc etc

I really don't like the guy and the further I watch the more I think he did it. The one time I agree with him is when it comes to the polygraph. It has been shown time and time again that they are not accurate. And while I think he shouldn't have agreed in the first place. He's right there is no benefit for him to take it. It won't prove or change anything if he doesn't pass and it would be really bad for him if he failed.
