393: George Olivo – Polygraph Exams, Interrogations, and Confessions

from FBI Case File Review · host Jerri Williams

In part two of this two-part episode, retired agent and FBI certified polygraph examiner George Olivo continues his review of the FBI's polygraph program, interview skills he's developed over his more than a decade as an FBI certified polygraph examiner, and of two of the cases he worked. The first case review covers his examination of Fernando Vazquez Garcia, suspected of possessing child sexual images, and a man claiming to be a Russian spy double agent. George is also interviewed about the truths and untruths surrounding polygraphs, and his latest season of Lie Detector: Truth or Deception, his TV series streaming on A&E and Hulu. In part-one of George's case review, Episode 389, he reviewed a polygraph exam he did of a woman suspected of murdering her boyfriend. George served in the FBI for 22 years.  Check out episode show notes, photos, and related articles: https://jerriwilliams.com/393-george-olivo-polygraph-exams-interrogations-and-confessions/   Join my Reader Team to get the FBI Reading Resource - Books about the FBI, written by FBI agents, the 20 clichés about the FBI Reality Checklist, and keep up to date on the FBI in books, TV, and movies via my monthly email.
