But what it took to get the failed polygraph, not on the up and up.

The brothers denied having anything to do with Alberta's death, and one of them said that they failed because they took the polygraph after being beaten and interrogated.

He said that he was driving a white car around the time Alberta died, but it wasn't Alberta's rental, which police confirmed to be true.

And when they compare these brothers' prints to all of the prints from Alberta's rental, neither of theirs match any of them.

And when the tipster who offered them up in the first place ends up getting like really scrutinized, it came to light that they only gave these brothers names with some like weird scheme in mind about police helping a relative of theirs like get out of some legal trouble.

Like it was like all nonsense.

I guess.

It's very confusing logic.

But it meant that any evidence of the brothers being involved fell apart and then police had no choice but to rule them out.

Problem was there was no one else to rule in.

A look at those closest to Alberta hadn't revealed a suspect.

I mean, her boyfriend is ruled out.

They had a good relationship.

So there was like no motive.

His prints didn't match the ones found in the Ford.

And he was home with his mother in the early morning hours that Alberta was killed.

Police also looked into people Alberta prosecuted or who were unsatisfied clients thinking maybe someone held some kind of grudge against her.

But that didn't lead anywhere either.

So the theory that seemed the most plausible at the time was that this was a robbery gone wrong.

Someone must have just spotted Alberta, pegged her as an easy target to take whatever money she had on her in her purse.
