Who thinks about relaxing when your baby is missing?
Those dang cameras keep reminding me of Lisa when I am just trying to relax.
I really wonder too if they are seeing real cameras or is it in their heads?
I read this yesterday and dismissed it as a typical grandparent/parent article. Scared, disbeliving their child could do something bad like this, being supportive to their child.
But evidently the article made more of an impression than I thought, at least peripherally because I am still thinking of it.
Points I have been thinking of.
He gave his interview to local media, not national media. A sign of dissension within the family? Immediate family has been refusing to talk to local media since soon after Lisa went missing. When Short scheduled interviews with local media she got fired. Now when he decides to give an interview it is with the locals. Is that a sign that he disagrees with the local media ban?
He indicates most family is saying "trust nobody" but he seems to think that is making things worse. So he is going public, and with the locals.
He shows an awareness of what is being said about the parents. So they aren't just playing video games in the house, they are actually following the public perceptions of the case. I have wondered about that.
He mentioned all the family's problems over the years, even discusses alcoholism, yet stops short of any comments about DB's drinking. BTW was he talking about DB's mom having alcoholism or does he? He doesn't mention if he believes she inherited anything related to the alcoholism. Was he trying introduce mitigating factors here?
To me, the incident with the dog doesn't even make sense. It doesn't give any indication of what DB would do if an accident would happen to her daughter. Only what happened when someone else brought her a living child that had been involved in an accident that she had no involvement with.
As a father and a grandfather I think he sounds like a very nice man. A man who loves he daughter and a man who loved his granddaughter. A man who fears for both. But the way he talks about DB's early family life, besides mitigating factors he almost lays out how it could have happened. A girl who grew up in a dysfunctional family, who had an alcoholic mother. A "Daddy's girl" who fought with her father when she had to live with him. Could she be an alcoholoic herself, who did love her children but who didn't have early responsibile parental role models to help guide her decisions with her own children?
Another interesting note on the mother in law. She obviously cares a lot for DB. And she speaks highly of her as a mother and as a person. But considering that this woman she loves as a person left her home and never kept in contact, never offered to allow her to spend time with her grandson it just sounds like there is something missing there.
