i have a comment about them being out searching. normally LE will not let immediate family search through the woods/swamps/whatever so that they don't inadvertently find a body. and the other side of that coin is that they could tamper with a crime scene/evidence. yet i have a photo in this thread (post 68) of mom and dad slogging through the bushes. i question the wisdom of that.
The average accuracy is > 80% in almost all of the studies on polygraph accuracy annnnnnnnnnnd there may be two parents that failed the polygraph in this case. If so, this increases the probability that one of these parents is a monster. :(

Here are the studies supposedly blowing polygraph validity out of the water. On studies that showed that there was a high rate of false positives, the rate they considered to be high was only 15%. Uh...this is a low number. Here is another one: The APA surveyed 450 of its known to be crazy psychologists and these loons guessed (yes, they guessed) the accuracy rate of polygraphs was 65%....big effin whoop and the loons guessimated this. :insert loud farting noise here and throw this dumbass study out of the window, please).
Oh...and the bs about people failing a polygraph because they were stoned on benzos is just that: bs. Benzos relax/decrease physiological stress responses and therefore, are more likely to permit a subject to avoid detection of guilt/lie (contrary to what lying beotch and psycho-lover Billie Dunn spewed).
