CVSA^® Breaks Murder of 9-year-old girl after

FBI Polygraph calls subjects "Inconclusive"

On November 9, 2007, the body of little Rowan Ford was recovered in remote McDonald County, MO.  Prior to the recovery of her body, the girl’s stepfather, David Speares, 25, and a friend, Chris Collings, 32, both agreed to take polygraph examinations conducted by the FBI.  Both of their polygraph examination results were evaluated by the FBI as ‘Inconclusive.’   In addition to the polygraph examinations, they also underwent CVSA examinations.  The CVSA examinations were conducted by Detective Oren Banes of the Neosho P.D. (MO), who was assisting a regional investigative team composed of FBI and local law enforcement.  The results of the CVSA examination clearly demonstrated both subjects were deceptive.  Based on the precise results of the CVSA examinations, both were interrogated, confessed and led detectives to the body.  Both men have been charged with first-degree murder and forcible rape.  Detective Jason Baird of the Neosho P.D. stated "The CVSA examinations were directly responsible for quickly clearing this case."
