The linked article contained the following notation:
"Polygraphs were also part of the investigation, Crenshaw said, for the first time publicly. He declined to release those results." And more than likely, of the 10 to 20+ articles that have been in The State newspaper and other media outlets around the state, I am sure that polygraphs have also previously been mentioned.
The Oconee Sheriff's department has not released any information to date on the information that they do or do not have - they apparently do not have enough information to confirm an arrest. I think that they even noted in one of the articles that they want to also see what comes out of the civil suit (perhaps a response to the text messages - of course if they were legally obtained).
My son's roommate at Clemson is/was a pledge of this fraternity, but he luckily overslept that morning. He was apparently called in to start looking for the kid when they realized that he was missing.
I have heard rumors also that all of the pledges had the same story, but no where have I seen that official release.
I agree with someone that noted that the kid was in good shape and should not have lagged behind. Back in the day, I also used to be a pretty good runner and let's just say that some mornings, I was not feeling it. That bridge is pretty long and just because something happened on one side of the bridge does not mean that folks elsewhere on the bridge can hear anything (e.g. when that truck buzzed by the CBS video at the end, the sound overshadowed even him with his microphone).
I highly doubt that the Oconee Sheriff's Department is going to cover up anything. It is interesting that the civil suit also fails to state the source of the text messages that they have. Last but not least, $25M or $50M is not going to bring the Hipps' son back. And I can assure you of one thing that you should not believe every word that is written in a civil suit as well. Have you ever been sued? I am not saying that some of the texts are not true, but you need to look at the entire picture vs. short blips noted in the lawsuit.
I have driven across that bridge and it is pretty close to the road and at 5:30 to 6 AM in the morning 6 months ago, it was very dark outside and there are enough A-holes on the road to do something stupid like trying to run a kid off the side of the road. These kids are between a rock and a hard place. They cannot come out and say it is all lies because they were the kid's friends and they attended his funeral and realize how much his parents are hurting to lose their only child and I am sure that they have attorneys at this point that are saying to not say a thing. Because anything that they could say would be twisted to whatever someone wants the end result to be.
