I want electrician to take lie detector test after my wife’s jewellery went missing
DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER an electrician did some rewiring in my house, I noticed that my wife’s jewellery was missing. I suspect he stole it.
I want him to take a lie detector test to eliminate him. Can I make him?
I am 42, my wife is 39, and we have two young children.
My wife keeps some precious jewellery in the bedroom – including a gold bracelet and earrings her grandma gave her – but since he visited, we can’t find them anywhere.
She’s very upset. They have sentimental value.
I’ve reported the theft to the police, but I’m not confident they’ll do anything.

The electrician denies it. I don’t believe him.
I’ve seen lie detector tests on TV and I think this is the best way to rule him out.

DEIDRE SAYS: You do not have any evidence that the electrician stole from you, and it’s highly unlikely he would agree to a lie detector test.
More to the point, the tests are not totally reliable, which is why they’re not used in the criminal justice system.
