Then the next morning,
Speaker 1
with police swarming his house, Jim did something else that seemed odd. He
Speaker 2
went driving around for four hours of unaccounted time. This is after his daughter has
Speaker 1
gone missing. Yes. But what really peaked detectable since interest was Jim's stoic behavior.
Speaker 2
He didn't show a lot of emotions. Does that matter affect demeanor? It shouldn't, but it does.
Speaker 1
And he wasn't showing you what you'd expect to see? Right. I mean, he's not showing
Speaker 2
how I would react if my daughter is missing. I'd be hammering on the table. I want these efforts done, and we have a person who is disconnected from the case.
Speaker 1
Police had not found physical evidence that indicated Jim had something to do with Janelle's disappearance. And none of his boots matched those raked footprints in the snow. But that didn't rule him out as a person of interest. He knows where the rake is. He knows exactly where the rake is.
Speaker 2
You have to believe that the individual who did this, for some reason, chose to go get the rake out of the garage, and then return it to its original position.
Speaker 1
Not just throw it down on the side of the house. Right.
Speaker 2
So there are all these questions and just confusion.
Speaker 1
Three days after Janelle's disappearance, the FBI joined the investigation. They thought a lie detector test might provide some clarity and asked Jim Matthews to take one. So he did and failed it.
Speaker 2
The relevant questions were, do you know what happened to your daughter? Or do you know the whereabouts of Janelle Matthews? So the FBI's were assuming they're some of the best polygraphers in the nation. They say he's deceptive.
