On the Nancy Grace Show, it was reported that the parents of missing 3 year old Breeann Rodriquez have both failed polygraphs. When the transcripts of the show are available, we will post complete analysis.
When asked about the failure, Breeann's father said,
"I don't know, honestly, honestly, when my wife went in there first to do the polygraph and she failed it, I mean, of course as a father when someone tells you they failed a polygraph, it raises doubt."
Here is the statement with emphasis:
I don't know, honestly, honestly, when my wife went in there first to do the polygraph and she failed it, I mean, of course as a father when someone tells you they failed a polygraph, it raises doubt."
a. "I don't know" may be a general answer to "how did you fail it?"
b. "honestly, honestly" is repeated, which means that "honest" is a sensitive topic to the subject.
c. Please note "when my wife went in there first" indicates that he is thinking of when either she, or he, went in their "next" or "second"; which is related to the failure. It is likely that he is considering his own failure when answering about hers. Please also note that we do not have the direct question from Nancy Grace.
If, however, the question was about his reaction to his wife's failure, this is a direct answer. If it is a general question to both failing:
He is avoiding answering about his results indicating his failure is sensitive.
d. "of course" means that he wants the audience to accept what he says without questioning it. However, we must note that he uses the 2nd person, "you" and not himself.
e. Note what he did not tell us:
"it raises doubt" is passive. This indicates, along with the 2nd person, "you" being "as a father" is highly weak. "You", as a father, may have doubts raised, but please note that he did not say that he had doubts about his wife. Deceptive people count on you, the reader/listener, to interpret what they said. Statement Analysis teaches to listen to what someone has said, rather than interpret it.
He said that for you, a father, it will raise doubts about his wife failing a polygraph, but he did not say that for him, as the father, or Breeann's father, he has doubts. The use of "of course" coupled with "you" (2nd person) and the passivity of "it raised doubts" in conclusion show deception:
Analysis Conclusion: He was not surprised by his wife's failed polygraph.
It has been reported that he spoke about failing the polygraph because he was asked questions that were not relevant to the investigation. Please note initial analysis showed he used this same word, indicating sensitivity, of which is now explained.
"They say they don't want to tell us something that is not relevant," Rodriguez said as he and his wife searched the grassy area south of Senath where the two items of interest were found. "They are still looking for that white van. As far as the community goes, everybody we talk to says they didn't see anything.
Note that he uses the word "relevant" here; yet it is not known if this is his word, or he is using the words of the police. He he now says he failed the polygraph due to being asked questions that were not "relevant", it would explain why he used this word days ago in a statement.
Note that it is "that" white van, not "a" white van. "That" would refer to a specific one. If no specific white van is known, this may be deceptive and an attempt to distance himself from the white van.
He did not doubt that his wife would fail the polygraph.
Edgar Rodriguez is also quoted as saying:
"I don't know. to be completely honest with you, I don't believe we really did fail it. It may be some kind of tool they use to squeeze everry bit of information out of us...I don't really know. But they said we did fail it. "
To be "completely" honest indicates that the subject has honesty that is not complete.
Note that he says "I" don't believe "we" failed it, yet he said that "you" as a "father" would have "doubts" raised (passivity noted).
Note in his statement the following phrases: "we really did fail it" and "we did fail it" is repeated. He stated that they "said" we did fail it; not "told" which is stronger language.
He stated that it may be "some kind of tool" to squeeze every bit of information". An innocent parent never thinks he or she has told everything known.
Note that there was prior statements which showed that the police were withholding information from him and his wife.
