In an article titled “Two others in case arrested on drug charges,” Cape Cod Times staff writers Karen Jeffrey and Emily C. Dooley report on the investigation of the murder of fashion writer Christa Worthington, whose body was discovered on 6 January 2002. Excerpt:
The father of Christa Worthington will be asked to take a lie-detector test as the investigation into his daughter’s murder continues.
Christopher Worthington, 72, is among a number of people who will be asked to undergo a polygraph examination, according to police sources.
Worthington, a lawyer and former assistant state attorney general, was not available for comment last night.
Also yesterday, two people connected to the investigation through Christopher Worthington, one of whom has been described as his girlfriend, were arrested in Boston on drug charges. Elizabeth Porter, 29, and her companion, Edward Hall, 38, had previously undergone polygraph testing in the homicide investigation.
Police sources were not specific why Christopher Worthington and others are being asked to undergo polygraph tests.
“We’re looking at a lot of people and what they have to say,” one investigator said. “No one person is at the forefront.”
