The claims could have been made public nearly two decades ago, but the Las Vegas Review-Journal decided against publishing the story in 1998. Two of the cocktail servers spoke to RJ reporter Carri Geer. Geer said she remembers then-publisher Sherman Frederick saying the woman should undergo lie detector tests. But after the polygraph results came back, Geer said she was ordered to delete the story she had written.

That’s why I saved this file for 20 years.” – Carri Geer
