Peterson Can't Explain Polygraph Results
Former Bolingbrook Cop Appears On CBS Early Show
NEW YORK (CBS) ―
Drew Peterson said on the CBS Early Show Monday morning that he doesn't know why a polygraph shows he was deceptive in answering questions about his wife's disappearance.
The former Bolingbrook police sergeant is a suspect in the disappearance of his wife, Stacy Peterson, in October 2007. He denies any wrongdoing and has not been charged with a crime in the case.
Peterson took two lie detector tests for an upcoming book,
Drew Peterson Exposed. They indicated he'd been "deceptive" in answering three questions.
The questions focused on the last time Peterson saw his wife, whether he knows where she is and whether she told him she was leaving.
Peterson said that he doesn't know why the polygraph shows he was being deceptive.
"I answered the questions truthfully, and why it showed up that it was deceptive, I have no idea," Peterson said.
He says Stacy left him for another man.
"Do you feel that she's out there with another man, hasn't called anyone, left her children behind, dropped off the face of the planet, and no one's even seen her?" the Early Show's Maggie Rodriguez asked.
"I believe that 100 percent," Peterson replied. "No doubt about it."
"Do you realize how farfetched that sounds?" Rodriguez asked.
"It sounds farfetched, but it happens," Peterson said. "So I really can't answer for where she is or what she's doing, anything like that."
Peterson attorney Joel Brodsky said he doesn't think polygraphs are reliable, but also that Peterson's show he hasn't done anything wrong.
