Mass polygraph quiz tests La Crosse students in Evelyn Hartley case
In La Crosse Wisconsin a large scale polygraph quiz tests up to thirty high school boys daily, hoping a fragment leads to the Evelyn Hartley abduction case. A. M. Josephson heads the effort at the new City-County Crime Laboratory, aiming to renew public interest and generate leads. The case began October 24 with Hartley’s disappearance from La Crosse State College friend Viggo Rasmussen’s home. Police, sheriff, and prosecutors coordinate, minimizing costs while boosting detection capacity.
