Question

Did the McCann's ever volunteer themselves for Polygraph testing?

Answer 1

I wish people would leave them alone, yes it is their fault that Maddie is missing as they made the biggest mistake of their lives by leaving her, but they have to live with that for the rest of their lives.

Answer 2

There would be no point, it is easily defeated if you answer the intro questions truthfully.

Answer 3

They did I believe at one time but when it was offered they declined!? It wasn't in their best interests and that wouldn't do would it!

Answer 4

no. i believe they didnt and why should they?the criminal in this case is the abductor, not the mccanns

Answer 5

That would be a non starter where they're concerned as have been a few things they have turned down. A baby sitter springs to mind.

Answer 6

7 is correct, thats exactly what they did. they volunteered to take one, knowing that its not admissable in portuguese law and that it was unlikely that the police would either want or need them to take one.

then, one was offered, not by the police i think but from another agency and their reason for not taking it was that the results are not admissable in portuguese law,,, classic!

Answer 7

I think all candidates should be subject to random drug tests.. while campaigning and after they are elected.  If they started giving polygraph tests to all the politicians we would have none!

Answer 8

As doctors, they probably realise what a useless piece of pseudo-science it is, despite the tabloids making a big deal of it.

It does not detect lies, it detects bodily reactions, usually to stress. It depends on the opperators interpretation (No big light flashing saying 'Lie!') and is relatively easy to fool.

Answer 9

Why should they?

Its their little girl!...

Answer 10

I seriously doubt it.

Answer 11

did the mccanns actually volunteer to do anything when Maddie went missing....no they galavanted all over Europe..any decent parent would have been on their hands and knees not leaving a stone unturned in the search for the daughter...not even done with neglect..so can i go out tomorrow night and leave my kids in an unlocked house..yeehaa...bloody terrible wht they have got away with
