I read on KOAM News that - ANDREW BILLY LOWELL, the Man that gave her a Ride to the Pawn Shop - is CONFINED US FED PRISON OKLAHOMA CITY, OK Offenses - RAPE,CRIMES AGAINST NATURE/SODOME AND NATURE/SODOMY.
In April 1997, Billy Andrew Lowell - was convicted in the District Court of Tulsa County, Oklahoma, of first degree rape, kidnapping, and forcible sodomy.1 In December 2000, Billy signed a “State of Oklahoma Notice of Duty to Register form, acknowledging [that] he understood the duties and procedures to register as a sex offender.” ROA, Vol. 3 at 4. On May 5, 2008, Billy registered as a sex offender and again signed a State of Oklahoma Notice of Duty to Register form.
Investigators followed a lead that a man going by the name of Billy, who was at the party, offered to take Tracy home in his black van at one point. Authorities also got a tip that they were headed towards Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 2008, KOAM spoke to Carl Francis who was a Lieutenant with the Joplin Police Department at the time of Tracy’s disappearance.
“We proved rather quickly that the van did go to Tulsa. That’s no doubt. I located the van. The van was located by the Tulsa police department. We went up there, we investigated the van,” said Francis.
Joplin Police Captain Trevor Duncan says Ernest Hensley, who was a suspect at the time, had lived in that area. Hensley is now deceased. He was Tracy’s friend’s boyfriend in 1992. Duncan says it’s still a possibility that her remains could be in that area. Authorities decided to search it again, but this time, more thoroughly with better technology and better conditions.
Did the Joplin Police Ever Give - Billy Andrew Lowell or Ernest Hensley - Lie-Detector Tests - - Did they do the Obvious - - A SIMPLE LIE-DETECTOR TEST - -
AGAIN, Why didn't the LOCAL YoCALS - Contact the FBI - WHY - - Since this may have been a Kidnapping Across State Lines - - IF you are Incompetent - Why not Use the FBI and the Knowledge and Power that they have - - Don't be Dumb - Use the Resources that are Available - 31-Years Later - - and the Jopling Police Department Still Does Not have a Clue - - -

ReplyDeletePolice should have used this Method of Asking - Billy Andrew Lowell or Ernest Hensley to have taken a Lie-Detector Test - in 1992 - Why Didn't They???
A Missouri mom, Kay Blaser, remembers Aug. 11, 1992, like it was yesterday. She and her daughters were grocery shopping when they happened to run into a friend of her youngest daughter, Tracy Pickett. The girls hadn’t seen each other in some time, so when the friend asked Tracy to spend the night, Kay agreed.
That same day, Tracy went to the friend’s place in Webb City, Missouri around midafternoon. She told her mother goodbye and that she loved her. At the time, Kay had no idea that Aug. 11, 1992, would become a day that she would continually relive for the rest of her life.
That’s because the next morning, Aug. 12, Kay would report her daughter missing, and Aug. 11 would become the last time the caring mother ever saw Tracy.
If this was Your Child - Why Wouldn't You want the Police to use all Methods Available to find Your Child - If the Joplin Police - were Not Capable to do this - Why didn't they Call the FBI to come in to Investigate - Since one of the Individuals had went to Tulsa - which should involve the FBI since the Crime may have crossed State Lines -
When are they going to ever Learn - that the Yokels should work will all State and Federal Agencies - STOP Trying to Be a Lone Wolf - Work Together - Cooperate - Here we are 31-Years Later -
Nevertheless, there is value to presenting the question. Whether a suspect agrees or refuses to take a polygraph can be used to assess that suspect’s credibility regarding the issue under investigation by carefully noting both the suspect’s verbal response, as well as their non-verbal behavior.
One of the ways the FBI verifies information and determines who is a credible witness or source is through a polygraph examination. The FBI has been employing polygraph examinations in our work since the early days of the FBI Laboratory.
The FBI gives a polygraph test to every single person who's considered for a job there. When the DEA, CIA, and other agencies are taken into account, about 70,000 people a year submit to polygraphs while seeking security clearances and jobs with the federal government.
Polygraphs are also regularly used by law enforcement when interrogating suspects. In some places, they're used to monitor the activities of sex offenders on probation, and some judges have recently permitted plea bargains that hinge on the results of defendants' polygraph tests.
Polygraphs are well known to be mumbo jumbo. They cannot prove anything.
