Doesn't look good for Mr. Dill. He better hope she shows up alive and well. Also, another great reason never to submit to a polygraph. One's first reaction to a story about a polygrapher "catching" CMs is to say that you shouldn't use them because they'll know and it will be worse for you. This also presents the opportunity to argue the use of mental CMs rather than physical ones. However, I see a piece of information that is more significant to discuss. For ever person that is caught using CMs, I have to ask how many passed by using CMs that were NOT found out? I have passed several polygraphs using physical CMs and have never been questioned about it. Which brings me to the bigger issue. If it is possible for an individual to use CMs to pass a polygraph, then the results of polygraphs are not reliable, verifiable evidence.

Investigators say computers may hold clues in homicide John Dill considered a person of interest in his wife's disappearance Reported By Renita Crawford WJBF NewsCHANNEL 6 Friday, June 2, 2006
(Augusta) - How to beat a polygraph, how fast a human body decomposes any search engine will take you to those websites.
Richmond county investigators say they were visited by someone on one or both computers seized from the home and job of John Dill. Hard drives on both computers were searched.
“Obviously we were concerned that we were being deceived or that he was trying to deceive us. But other people had access to the computers so those are things that we have to take into account,” said Sergeant Scott Peebles.
Investigators say Dill's wife Deborah has been missing since March 24th and they suspect foul play.
John Dill is considered a person of interest in the case.
Sergeant Scott Peebles says early in the investigation Dill took a polygraph test.
"During the examination the examiner detected what he thought to be some counter measures that were being employed during the polygraph,” said Peebles. Peebles won't elaborate on what those measures were, but offers this.
"That is when we were able to find websites had been visited on interviews and interrogation tactics that police use. How to beat the polygraph and also decomposition rates of human bodies."
Dill was reported missing by her daughter in late April.
"We would love for her to show up today and everything be fine,” said Peebles.
Authorities say Deborah Dill's bank account has gone untouched and she has not contacted any of her family.
Last month we talked with John Dill about suspicions surrounding him.
"I’m kind of worried that something has happened to her. I'm concerned that they're looking at me. I hoping she's o.k.,” said Dill.

A Georgia man suspected in the disappearance of his wife reportedly searched the Internet for information on "How to Beat the Polygraph." It is very likely any such search would have led him to AntiPolygraph.org, among other websites.
Online activity entraps spouse By Sandy Hodson | Staff Writer Thursday, June 01, 2006
Investigators have learned the husband of a missing woman searched the Internet for information about the rate of decomposition and how to handle interrogations and polygraphs.
There is a $2,000 reward for information leading to the whereabouts of Deborah Dill.
They found out about John Dill's interest in an item titled "How to Beat a Polygraph Test" after Mr. Dill took the examination at the Richmond County Sheriff's Office, Lt. Scott Peebles said Wednesday. Mr. Dill's results indicate he was using "counter measures" during the examination.
Mr. Dill has begun cooperating with detectives investigating the disappearance of his wife, Deborah Fortunato Dill. Her daughter reported her missing because no one has seen or heard from her since March.
"We still suspect foul play," Lt. Peebles said. Investigators haven't eliminated her husband as a suspect, he added in an e-mail.
Detectives executed search warrants after learning Mr. Dill had used his boss's computer for research, Lt. Peebles said.
According to affidavits used to obtain the search warrants, Mrs. Dill has not used her cell phone or accessed her bank account since she was reported missing.
Mr. Dill told investigators that he got into an argument with his wife March 24 and then left her at their Woodbine Road home.
When he returned, she and all of her possessions were gone, according to the search warrant.
The Dills were subjects of at least four prior domestic violence incident reports since March 2005.
In a July 20, 2005, report, Mrs. Dill told officers that her husband became angry when she refused to drop a criminal complaint against his ex-wife, Lane Dill.
Deborah Dill reported that while her husband didn't physically harm her, he told her that "I will take care of you before I let my family suffer. I might go to jail, but you are gong to hell."
Mr. Dill attempted to conceal the fact that his ex-wife had been to his home since Deborah Dill disappeared, according to the search warrant affidavit.
"It appears he has reconciled with his ex since (Deborah Dill) disappeared," Lt. Peebles said.
Officers hope Mrs. Dill will surface alive, Lt. Peebles said.
She had left home in the past, but never for such an extended period and not in a way that appeared as if she just vanished, he said.
There is a $2,000 reward for information leading to her whereabouts. Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's department at (706) 821-1080.
