Polygraph Pioneer Leonarde Keeler Cuckolded

[George W. Maschke]

Since the early days of its history, the lie detector has been touted as a means of testing marital fidelity. But Northwestern University history professor Ken Alder reveals in a new book titled The Lie Detectors: The History of an American Obsession that polygraph pioneer Leonarde Keeler (1904-1949), who met his wife whilst polygraphing her, himself wore the horns of a cuckold.

A press release received by AntiPolygraph.org regarding Alder's book notes in part:

While the lie detector thrived, the men behind the machine suffered. In an ironic twist, Keeler's marriage dissolved in mistrust: the creator of the detector was blind to his own wife's infidelity. Her betrayal confirmed Keeler's view of the world as corrupt, and he spent his last years philandering and drinking until his death at the age of 45.
