They didn't have a murder weapon.

They didn't really have any forensic evidence.

And they did not have any witnesses to the crime.

Someone was going to have to either slip up or confess, which is why on October 5th, 2017, investigators had Lindley come in for a polygraph test.

They hoped that the pressure would get her to confess to what she had done, but it didn't really work.

She continued to maintain her innocence the entire time.

And when she was asked, did you shoot that man?

Lindley answered no.

But the polygraph said that she was lying.

Though Lindley shrugged it off, police did confront her and basically tell her, you failed one question in the polygraph.

Guess which one it was.

She's like, I don't know which one.

And they were like, well, we asked you if you killed your husband.

That's the one you failed.

And she just shrugs it off.

She says, quote, I can't explain why I just failed that, but I didn't kill Ben.

So, yeah, she fails her polygraph.

But detectives, their plan fails, too.

There was no confession.

And even with that, the case remained open.
