I mean we are looking at it with hindsight, but make no mistake it’s obvious that the detectives knew he was responsible but they just didn’t have enough evidence to bring it in court and try to make it stick. Other then his omission the only key evidence was the scratches on his neck. The inmates statements aren’t enough as the inmates have an insensitive to say he did kill her, the dirt on the cat isn’t even a big deal…dirt is common on cars and they went able to say the dirt 100% belonged to the dirt road in question but said it’s dirt “like” on the road in question. The weeds also aren’t enough

I think at that time they didn't have her DNA and couldn't be sure it was her hair. When they found the body later, they took the DNA from the tooth and compared it to the DNA from the hair.

It's because her hair could have ended up in his car trunk by other means, eg, she may have previously borrowed his car and some of her hair fell into the trunk while loading the shopping bags.

Sometimes I watch these integration videos and think about how my husband reacted when, many years ago he thought he was the last person to speak to a man who was murdered. He kinda freaked out and thought for sure the police would think he was guilty and was already thinking of ways to get out of it. I could see an innocent person making up an false alibi and all that. It was less then an hour after the murder when we were called and we weren't given any information at first. As it turned out the guy managed to call 911 before he died. His ex mother in law walked in right after my husband left, probably watching until he was alone,and came in and shot him. If he hadn't survived long enough to call 911, I wonder if my husband would have gone through this. This is why evidence is so important and I'm glad they found enough to convict this guy.

[@Jesseparkerr]

I don’t get it - he was clearly lying and failed the polygraph so why’d they let him walk for 2 1/2 years before bringing him back in? Makes 0 sense

[@VioletEmerald]

Because it's not really proof that he murdered her (or even that she was dead at all!! Given the lack of a body) even when the question is about if he murdered her. "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." They basically cause the suspect to think they have more proof than they do for the sake of convincing them to confess. But most types of lies, like the alibi one, aren't enough to convict in court of what specifically did happen. A good lawyer could argue convincingly that he was afraid of getting in trouble for illegally purchasing pot which is why he lied, not murder, his own story he thought of on his own in this interrogation. For instance. There can be a lot of circumstantial evidence meaning it's likely he murdered her but we have high standards for conviction in criminal court for multiple reasons. It would be so awful for an innocent person to be sentenced, and if such a person were convicted the murderer would still be free anyway. So it's better a murderer go free until we're sure the person convicted is definitely beyond any reasonable doubt the murderer. But yes it's crazy that it seems so beyond a reasonable doubt already and they couldn't find a way to prove it for SO long. This case is surreal.

[@AnthonyKing-yk4tn]

My only issue with a polygraph test is I took one for a job once back in 2020. I answered one question correctly (have I ever done any drugs, which I have not, I've never even touched drugs and have no desire) and it said a lie. I also answered one question falsely (was I withholding anything from my resume, which I was, but said no) it said I was telling the truth. I always take them with a big grain of salt after that.
