I dug out this old post by Bluecrab because Cleve Backster is mentioned in it. Backster is a famous polygraph expert. Does anyone know what ecaxtly Backster 'verified' here? Did he ask the Ramseys the same questions? Was he paid by them?BlueCrab said:Twizzler,
The following questions were asked by private polygraph expert Ed Gelb and verified by expert Cleve Backster between May 6 and May 17, 2000. The Ramseys had refused to take lie-detector tests given by the FBI. Gelb and Backster are considered among the most highly regarded examiners in the nation.
Both John and Patsy were asked the Series 1 and Series 2 questions. Only Patsy was asked Series 3 questions. The Ramseys answered NO to all questions without showing deception.
Series 1:
1. Did you inflict any of the injuries that caused the death of JonBenet?
2. Regarding JonBenet, did you inflict any of the injuries that caused her death?
3. Were those injuries that resulted in JonBenet's death inflicted by you?
Series 2:
1. Do you know for sure who killed JonBenet?
2. Regarding JonBenet, do you know for sure who killed her?
3. Are you concealing the identity of the person who killed JonBenet?
Series 3:
1. Did you write the ransom note that was found in your house?
2. Regarding the ransom note, did you write it?
3. Is that your handwriting on the ransom note found in your house?

And didn't the Ramseys refuse to take a polygraph test by the FBI?
And didn't Patsy flunk a polygraph test (administered by Toriello) just prior to the test done by Gelb?
Was it Gelb who agreed to test Patsy although she was full of tranquilizers which mute the body's response to stimuli? Isn't such a polygraph test totally worthless? I wonder if Backster knew that Patsy was full of sedatives.
