But the first thing you do is what's the person's cooperation level when you say the word polygraph?

You know, do they run like a scalded cat away from you or do they say, oh, absolutely, I'll take it?

And somebody who wants the focus to be on Lacey and wants us to be trying to turn over every rock and log and look under every car and blanket that might be in a park or something like that to try and find her, take the poly, take the focus off of you and let us move on so we're not spending time trying to clear you.

But originally, he said yes to the poly on Christmas Eve when Brock asked him.

And then on Christmas Day, when we were getting ready to do it, because when

When Al called me, Al Brocchini called me and we went down there and we started to the office and started talking.

And then we went over to Scott's house.

And that's when I first met him.

Pleasant, nonchalant.

You know, he greeted us, you know, and it's like he just didn't have any concern.

I mean, he walked away.

He had something else that he had to attend to.

And I just kind of thought, well, gosh, how come you're not asking me 90 questions?

Why aren't you asking me what we're going to do next?

Are you going to get helicopters up?

Are you going to get a boat patrol?

I mean, whatever he wants to come up with.

He didn't have anywhere near the same emotional urgency that Sharon had or any of Lacey's friends or family.

And so when we got done meeting with him and chatting with him then, the first thing that I did after that is my neighbor two doors over was the senior polygraph examiner for California Department of Justice, Doug Mansfield.

And so I called him.
