(UPI) A Mooresville teen-ager arrested on charges of "confining" a stranded woman motorist on Indiana 37 passed lie detector questioning Friday about the Ann Harmeier slaying, authorities reported. Morgan County Sheriff Paul Mason said Indiana State Police experts gave a polygraph test to Roy Lee Minton 19, and it showed he had "no knowledge of the Ann Harmeier killing." Minton surrendered Monday on charges of criminal confinement and battery, and later pleaded innocent. -A-19-year-old Franklin College student told authorities her car broke down, on Indiana 37 northeast of Martinsville and a young man stopped and offered her a ride to a service station. Instead, she said, he drove down a small lane and she jumped from his car and fled. Minton turned himself in to authorities later that day.

Miss Harmeier, 20, an Indiana University student from Cambridge City, disappeared last Sept. 12 after her car broke down on Indiana 37 near Martinsville. Her body was found more than a month later in a nearby cornfield. She had been strangled and raped. "He is not a suspect because the polygraph test indicates that he has no knowledge of the Harmeier murder," the sheriff said.

Mason said Minton was questioned about the slaying because both cases involved young women stranded when their cars broke down on the same stretch of highway, but he was never seriously considered a suspect in the Harmeier killing.
