Dr. Timothy Stryker

The polygraph test was inadmissible evidence, and the police didn't have much else against him.

Stryker wasn't charged, but he wasn't cleared either.

For more than a decade, he remained the prime suspect, despite his consistent denials.

Did you kill Lynn Gowdy?

No, I did not.

Do you know who did kill Lynn Gowdy?

No, I don't.

And if I did, I wouldn't be in this situation.

The police investigation might have been stalled, but Lynn Gowdy's family would not be stopped.

They believed Stryker was getting away with murder and proving it was now up to them.

And off we go.

This wasn't a human being that I saw.

There's something here in this house.

Something out of this world.
