BS explained this last night on Joy Behar...
With me now to discuss this case is Bill Stanton, private investigator working with the Irwin family on the Baby Lisa case. Ok. So who hired you, Bill?
BILL STANTON, PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR:
Well, you know, it sounds so TV - - a mysterious wealthy benefactor and she`s been identified as a woman. And she is my friend, I know her.
BEHAR: Oh, you know who she is.
STANTON:
Yes. I know who she is. I`m friends with her and coincidentally she is friends with a family member who I happen to know. I wouldn`t say we were necessarily friends but I was introduced to that person through her years ago.
BEHAR: So she has donated $100,000.
STANTON: Well, more than that.
BEHAR: More than that.
STANTON: A lot more than that.
BEHAR: So that pays your salary --
STANTON: Yes.
BEHAR: And your -- Tacopina`s salary --
STANTON: No.
BEHAR: Not his?
STANTON: No. Joe, is different thing.
STANTON: Because it was specific. She called me up. She said get to the bottom of this. And her and I had a discussion I said well, at that stage, I didn`t know who was guilty, who was innocent and I`m not going to go to defend potentially baby killers. Let`s face it, you know, statistically, it`s the mother or the father in these cases.
BEHAR: That`s true.
STANTON: So I said I want to go out, I`ll find the truth. And I`m going to find that baby.
BEHAR: Ok.
STANTON: She said, "I`m good with that."
