Representatives for Drew Peterson want him to take a lie detector test on national television, according to Fox News reports.

TMZ.com originally reported the rumor, claiming the representatives contacted the producers of Fox’s “Moment of Truth,” a game show where contestants are hooked up to lie detector tests to win money. Fox later confirmed the report, saying the representatives had made contact and wanted Peterson to appear on the show.

However, neither report indicated whether the two groups had scheduled a date for Peterson’s appearance on the show.

Peterson’s lawyer Joel Brodsky was not immediately available for comment Tuesday but a woman answering his office phone said Peterson will not be taking a lie detector test.

Peterson, 54, has been named a suspect in the Oct. 28 disappearance of his 23-year-old wife Stacy Peterson. The case has been labeled a possible homicide and forced police to reopen the investigation into Peterson’s third wife Kathleen Savio, who was found drowned in her bathtub in 2004.

Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, has said he was not involved in either case. He has not been charged with a crime.
