The department was desperate for recruits. Masses of officers had retired just as the city's population boomed, and the usual recruiting pool was away fighting two wars. Everywhere you looked - on billboards, in the paper, on the Web- HPD had posted help-wanted signs. "Be a Hero!" the message went. "You, too, can become a real hero." "Heroes Start Here!" It's hard to explain the effect these ads had on me, but the truth is, I'd always wanted to be a hero. With the cops offering "a competitive salary," "excellent, affordable health insurance," and a "pension plan with early retirement options," I couldn't help imagining myself as an action hero.

Evans was the main suspect at the time of the initial investigation and took at least one polygraph test, which he passed. With no leads and the main suspect cleared, the case went cold for 32 years. This case is yet another example of what the critics of the polygraph call a misplaced reliance on the pseudoscience of polygraph. They cite the many cases in which criminals passed the polygraph and were later found to be guilty of the crimes. Cases such as the "Green River Killer." In that case, Gary Leon Ridgeway, was a suspect in the killing of four women and was given a polygraph, which he passed. Ridgeway wa...
