I am sure they did help the authorities as much as possible . .. but I am sure that on the advice of counsel they declined to put themselves in a situation where the authorities could build a case against them . . . which the police may have done regardless of whether the parents killed the little girl.
Generally if there is know obvious suspect the people closest to the victim are usually thought to have done it.
How would a lie detector test have helped the police catch the killer when the parents weren't the killers?
Would anyone have appreciated the police asking them to take a lie detector test because they thought you killed your daughter?
I would have been absolutely enraged that the police asked me and told them to take a flying leap, if I didn't deck the person making the suggestion.

I'm not sure exactly how to explain it, but something was just strange about the way they acted.
Living this close to Boulder, we got bombarded (even more than nationally, believe it or not) by this story and all of its little intricacies.
Then again, there are a lot of strange things and people in The Peoples Republic of Boulder -- sometimes known as "23 square miles surrounded by reality."
