But as Judy asked another question and another and another, something weird began to happen. Every question, even baseline questions about what day of the week it was, the machine would mark Dan's response as a possible lie. And with these kinds of results, it was hard to know if Dan was actually lying or if he was just so anxious that basically anything he said was setting off the machine.

The detectives both knew that even in the best cases, polygraph tests are not perfect. The fact that Dan was failing so badly definitely raised their suspicions of him, but it wasn't a reason to hold or charge him. So after asking him the remainder of the questions, which Dan basically failed entirely, they had no choice but to let him go.

That evening, Judy and Snipes talked through the case, weighing their potential suspects. they had now spoken to the last three men in Nicky's life. First, there was Chris, Nicky's current boyfriend. His explanation about not rushing to help Nicky because he thought he might be in danger, because there was somebody outside his door, still struck them as extremely weird.

But the fact that he had called 911 as the attack was ongoing made it hard to see him as the culprit. They still hadn't ruled him out completely, but he was, admittedly, less suspicious than their other two suspects. Next, there was Donald, Nikki's ex-husband.

And of all three suspects, he had the strongest motive, since with Nikki out of the way, he would not only get custody of their kids, but also control of a million-dollar trust. And the fact that he had pointed the finger at Dan, Nikki's ex-boyfriend, was also suspicious, especially since there was no criminal record of the problems Donald had told them about.

That, on its own, was almost enough to convince them that Donald was their guy, he was guilty. except that their third suspect, Dan, the ex-boyfriend, had failed every question on his polygraph test. All in all, the detectives agreed that it was still too early to draw any firm conclusions.

Just two days had passed since the attack, and so far, the investigation had been moving at a breakneck pace. Judy and Snipes felt good about how much they'd learned already, but didn't want to miss an important clue by rushing things. They would continue interviewing Nikki's family and friends, while keeping a particularly close eye on Dan and Donald.

Those two they were the most suspicious of, and they figured if one of them was guilty, hopefully they would slip up and do something to give themselves away. The next day was January 11th. Three days had passed since the attack, and incredibly, Nikki was still clinging to life. However, that morning, her doctors told her family that she would never wake up.
