When Bill Wegerle came home to find his wife murdered in their bed, his world fell apart. To make it worse, he became the prime suspect in her murder and, without an alibi, no one would believe his innocence. In a bid to clear his name, he agreed to a police polygraph test, but failed. Twice. By the time he was finally exonerated, in light of new evidence, it was too late – Bill and his children had spent twenty years living as social outcasts, damned by the very machine that should have saved them.This might seem to be an anomalous case, but it’s not – time and time again, polygraphs have shown themselves to be undeserving of the nickname ‘lie detector.’ Take the case of Ana Montes, a Cuban spy who successfully worked at the US Defence Intelligence Agency for over 25 years despite their regular polygraph tests. Or Floyd Fay, who was sentenced to life in prison following a failed lie detector test, and only released when new DNA evidence came to light.
