QuoteI'm not a conspiracy theorist, and I don't wear the tin foil hat.  But the government has been cracking down and putting an end to all those who speak out against the polygraph.  It all started with Operation Lie Busters a few years ago.  Since then, some major events have included:

Drew Richardson - "accidental death" in 2016
Doug Williams - 2 years in federal prison in 2015, 2 years
Chad Dixon - 8 months in prison in 2013

Don't forget Messrs. Sterling and Kiriakos!  (both still alive, but in the federal gulag!) :'(

Drew was a real mensch.  I met him during my polygraph ordeal, and I am forever grateful to him for his support.  He stood up for what is right and never cowered, and did so always in a dignified manner.  I am very saddened that his life was cut short so tragically.

My deepest condolences to the family, friends and associates of a true giant, Drew Richardson.

Dr. Richardson spoke truth to power in a most profound, intelligent and courageous fashion. On a personal level, I will never forget Drew's valuable advice and kind encouragement.

While his voice has been silenced by his most untimely passing, Dr. Richardson's colossal contributions to the polygraph world will live on.

Unlike the frauds, hucksters and opportunists who continue to peddle polygraph myths, Drew Richardson was indeed dedicated to truth.

Perhaps the best way to honor Drew's memory is to fight harder than ever in revealing the risks, realities and limitations of polygraph "testing."

I did not know Dr. Richardson, but I feel as if I did because of his involvement with this website.

George, your comments are touching and testify to what a great man Dr. Richardson was.

I send my condolences to his family and friends.

Our deepest condolences to those whom he left.

Regardless of whether we saw completely eye to eye this is a tragic loss.

I had enjoyed only a few exchanges with Dr. Richardson, and found myself enjoying his well mannered and articulate, even if challenging, perspective.

Again, our deepest condolences.
