More than a month ago, Achieve Financial Credit Union CFO Matthew Yussman claimed that two men invaded his Bristol, Conn.home, strapped a bomb to his chest and forced him to rob his owncredit union.

But the home invaders were never found, the bomb turned out tobe fake and the credit union's New Britain branch wasn't robbed onthat morning of Feb. 23.

A police investigation, search warrant documents and CUTimes interviews with police investigators reveal Yussmanfailed a lie detector test and stopped cooperating with police. Documents also show Yussman and his mother, who lives withhim, made unusual statements about the two suspects who occupiedtheir home for more than seven hours.

“The results of that [polygraph] test indicated that Yussmanshowed deception on the relevant test question, 'Are you lyingabout your involvement in the home invasion?'” according to searchwarrant documents filed by New Britain and Bristol policedepartments in a Connecticut Superior Court.

“From when we first encountered him at the bank, he wascooperative right up through the polygraph test and the post-testinterview,” Capt. Thomas Steck, who oversees the investigativedivision at the New Britain Police Department, said. “During the[polygraph] process he decided he no longer wanted to continue onwith the interview.”

Police have not had contact with Yussman since the polygraphtest occurred on the night of Feb. 23.

What's more, Yussman and his mother made bizarre statements,including that the home invaders were well-spoken and polite;brought her cookies, lunch meat and juice; and vacuumed the housebefore leaving to carry out the robbery. The suspects alsoinitially requested that Yussman steal $4.2 million from the creditunion but then settled for $1 million, according to the searchwarrant documents.

Andrew Klimkoski, president/CEO of the $13 million AchieveFinancial Credit Union in Berlin, declined to comment aboutYussman's status. Emails and a phone message left with Yussmanseeking comment were not returned.

Capt. Steck said the police department has dedicatedconsiderable resources into this case to move it forward but noarrests are imminent. He indicated police have gathered a lot ofevidence, which is currently being analyzed and evaluated.

“I'd love to give you concrete answers,” he said. “I'd love toclose this with an arrest right now if I could. Obviously, it is animportant case to clear, but you never know where the investigationis going to go. Everything we do is dependent on where the next setof facts or clues leads us.”

Likewise, Lt. Richard Guerrea of the Bristol Police Departmentsaid the case is still under investigation and no arrests areexpected at this time.

According to search warrants, police confiscated a laptop,routers, telephone handsets, a custom made computer tower in anAntec case, a vacuum cleaner, ginger ale cans, trash bags, ducttape, bolts, washers, keys, a Tupperware container and clothes fromYussman's house. Police also took DNA swabs from 17 items.

The home invasion began at about 12:30 a.m. on Feb. 23 whenYussman's mother, Valerie, said she heard voices in the garage.When she looked inside the garage, she saw Yussman lying face downwith his hands zip tied behind his back. Yussman later told policehe believed the two men were waiting for him when he arrivedhome.

They toted handguns and wore army style jackets, black cargostyle pants with ski masks and goggles covering their faces. One ofthe men pointed a gun at Valerie, ordered her to the ground andthen escorted her and Yussman into the home.

“She reported that she never saw their faces, but reported whatshe called a slight accent that was typical of what you would hearin Connecticut,” police investigators wrote in one of the searchwarrants. “She also stated that the two men were well-spoken andpolite.”

Those well-spoken and polite criminals took Valerie to her room,and one of them stayed with her outside her door. At 3:30 a.m., oneof the men came into the room and duct-taped her ankles, took hercell phone and disconnected her landline.

“She reported that one of the men brought her cookies, lunchmeat and juice,” according to the search warrant. “She reported thetwo men and Matthew left the house for perhaps a half hour beforereturning.”

When they returned, her son came to her door to see if she wasOK. Valerie noticed her son's hands were not zip-tied as they hadbeen when she found him in the garage hours earlier.

For the next couple of hours, Valerie reported she overheard themen asking how much money they could get from the credit union. Thesuspects also said they were doing this because they owed someonemoney and if they didn't pay up, they would be killed, Valerie toldpolice.

Yussman also told police one of the suspectsused a cell phone to presumably call an associate.

“Yussman explained that he believed this phone call was inrelation to the amount of money Yussman could access from thecredit union branches,” police investigators wrote. “Yussman statedthat the suspects initially requested $4.2 million, to whichYussman responded that the absolute total amount of availablemonies within both credit union branches would only be $1million.”

Valerie also said she heard her son repeat back instructionsthat the suspects had given him. She told police she heard a lot oftape being pulled off a roll and one of the men say they were goingto tape something to Matthew's body.

“Just before they left, one of the men came into her room andtold her not to be frightened at the noise, but they were going tovacuum the house,” wrote police investigators. “She reported thatshe heard him vacuum the living room and then he came in andvacuumed her bedroom.”

At 8:24 a.m., the Bristol Police Department received a 911 callfrom Klimkoski, who reported he received a call from Yussman whosounded nervous and distressed. Klimkoski told police Yussman had abomb strapped to his chest and there was another bomb under hismother's bed.

Yussman instructed Klimkoski to vacate employees from the NewBritain branch, close it, meet him there to provide the vaultcombination, and not to call police.

“This is my life,” Yussman told Klimkoski in a cell phonecall. “Please don't play with it.”

But Klimkoski also told police Yussman seemed to be reading froma script, and wanted the vault codes for the credit union's Meridenbranch, according to the search warrants.

After Klimkoski hung up, he called the branch managers anddialed 911.

At 8:43 a.m., Yussman arrived at the New Britain branch parkinglot in his 2013 red Lincoln MKZ. Local and state police, along withthe FBI and a bomb squad were also there. Police communicated withYussman via mobile phones. After police determined the bomb wasfake and began removing it, Yussman told police two men invaded hishome, planted bombs in it and duct-taped his mother to her bed.

Bristol Police and state troopers swarmed around Yussman's homeand locked down nearby schools. The police determined there were nobombs in the home.

At about 10 a.m., as Yussman spoke to a police officer, hereceived a text message from the home invaders who were using hismother's cell phone. The nearly 30 text messages began at 10:01 andended at 10:42, according to court documents.

The cell phone texts originated from Farmington, which is abouteight miles north of the Achieve Financial CU New Britain branch,and about eight miles west of Yussman's home.

Yussman apparently played along with the suspects to make thembelieve he stole the money and was on his way to meet them as thefollowing texts reveal:
