Summary

On the 17th of May, I hosted a 24 hour live podcast to raise money for Victim Support UK.

In this session, I was joined by private investigator and volunteer police officer Dan Ribacoff. Dan is widely known for being a polygraph expert, and in America he uses lie detector tests in criminal and private cases, as well as on a variety of television programmes. This session gives us insight into this practice and Dan talks us through some of the cases he has worked on.

Dan's book, 'I Spy: How to be your own private investigator' can be found here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spy-How-Your-Private-Investigator/dp/1250116872
