Sheriff's Recording Boosted Credibility
- The sheriff secretly recorded Hickson and Parker comparing their stories and found them genuinely upset and terrified.
- The duo then passed polygraphs and were examined at a hospital and air force base, adding official weight to the claims.
Sleep Paralysis Explains Details
