SHOOTER BALDWIN FLUNKS LIE TEST!

Now actor insists cops ORDERED him not to talk about movie set gun death

-

ALEC BALDWIN is in the crosshairs over the fatal shooting of “Rust” cinematogr­apher Halyna Hutchins — and The National ENQUIRER can reveal the actor failed a lie detector test and may be covering up what he really knows about the tragedy!

Baldwin, 63, fled New

Mexico after firing a live bullet while rehearsing a scene for the low-budget Western, killing Halyna and injuring director Joel Souza.

But anyone involved in the shooting, including Baldwin, the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, and assistant director Dave Halls, could face charges, according to investigat­ors.

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza noted: “I wouldn’t call it an accident at all. It’s a criminal investigat­ion.”

Baldwin, who’s also the film’s producer, tried to clear himself in an impromptu press conference — but voice stress analyst Michael Sylvestre, who reviewed the shooter’s remarks at

The ENQUIRER’s request, concluded he was lying! Standing on a roadside in Vermont where he’d joined his family, disheveled Baldwin said: “We were a very, very well-oiled crew shooting a film together and then this horrible event happened. “A woman died. She was my friend.

“There are incidental accidents on film sets from time to time, but nothing like this. This is a one in a trillion episode.”

Sylvestre explained stress in Baldwin’s voice — usually triggered by lying — is indicated by thick lines on a graph when measured by his

DecepTech device, which is considered one of the most advanced methods for identifyin­g truth in human speech. “He is flat-out lying when stating they were a very well-oiled machine. [I’d say they were] a dysfunctio­nal crew at best,” Sylvestre told The ENQUIRER. “He actually says the word ‘very’ twice — so when I look at that there was a lot of stress. He was definitely being deceptive.” Sylvestre also said his charts showed Alec’s descriptio­n of his close friendship with Halyna may not be entirely true. “When he says, ‘She was my friend,’ there was a considerab­le amount of stress in his voice,” Sylvestre noted. “Maybe she wasn’t as much of a friend or the type of friend he was trying to allude to. He obviously has a motivation to call her a good friend to push away the possibilit­y of any involvemen­t in her death.”

Sylvestre added the charts did not show deception when Baldwin claimed the “incidental” accident was “one in a trillion.”

But pressure is mounting as authoritie­s continued to gather fresh evidence from the set and conduct new interviews with the crew in a bid to learn how a live round was loaded into the gun — when real bullets weren’t even supposed to be on set!

The ENQUIRER has learned a search warrant to seize the prop truck was quickly executed by the Santa Fe Sheriff’s office before anyone could tamper with evidence in
