**Please note, when we say Joe Brewer’s polygraph results were "unclear," we are referring to this piece of evidence from Robert Kolker’s book Lost Girls: An Unsolved American Mystery, "Brewer claimed to have taken a polygraph, and while the police didn't describe the results or confirm right away that he had submitted to the test, they also didn't declare Brewer a suspect or a person of interest" (p.199). The term "unclear" is used to summarize this quote, as there is no definitive conclusion in regard to the polygraph.

The curious case of missing person, Shannan Gilbert and the four bodies that came with it.
