No I didn't watch it..I wish I did..but I'm not sure what the problem is. The police will get him if his story is full of holes, don't ya think? Some on here would lead you to believe that the police are closing their eyes at the van dan's reports. BTW, any reporter can ask the investigators whether or not the van dams failed or passed the test. Maybe we should freepmail and ask a reporter to do just that.

Kim, lie detector tests are known to be unreliable, are just a tool but nothing more.

According to Dr. David Lykken (in a 1979 paper titled "The Detection of Deception" in Psychological Bulletin, pages 47-53), polygraph examinations are accurate only 64 to 71 percent of the time; he cites many studies to back up this statement.
