The Polygraph Contradiction and the Investigation's Dead Ends
At 1:12:15 · chapter starts 1:10:40
The polygraph discrepancy is, in Ashley Flowers' framing, the perfect metaphor for the entire investigation. Brittany's father Greg was explicitly told by the St. Joseph County Sheriff's Office that both Ashley Huley and Eric Schenck had taken and passed polygraph tests. But Ashley Huley told Crime Junkie's reporter Madison that she went in for the test, spent over three hours in pre-screening, and was ultimately not tested because the examiner felt she hadn't gotten enough sleep. She says she tried for months to reschedule and it never happened. Either the Sheriff's Office is mistaken about a test that never occurred, or Ashley is confused — or lying — about what happened during her hours-long session. The Sheriff's Office declined to speak with Crime Junkie. The result is a perfect illustration of why this case remains unsolved: even when it seems like there should be a clear, documentable answer, the record somehow doesn't exist, or contradicts itself, or simply isn't in the file.
