My thoughts: I have been on Tyler Dasher's thread reading after his tragic death, until I had to put the computer down because I couldn't take anymore.
Today I finally go back to baby Lisa threads, hoping to God that there is some kind of new info or new leads, only to find, we are no closer to finding baby Lisa than we were over a month ago.
In this poll, my original answer was the: Have no clue what happened choice or I just don't know. I never wanted to point my finger at DB because it seemed like Baby Lisa was very loved by looking at all of her pictures and videos. I also didn't think DB was smart enough to cover this whole thing up or have help and I was still going with the theory that she truly was too drunk to even know when she last checked on Lisa.
I'm sad to say, after reading the statistics that came out in Baby Tyler's case, I now do believe DB was very capable of hurting Lisa and disposing of her body alone without any help. I still don't think JI had any hand in this, but I could be wrong. But now that I see what Tyler's mom, Shelby was capable of, when all of her friends and family that were closest to her, never for one moment believed she could have ever harmed Tyler, now I see that anything is possible.
I will say, DB has showed much more emotion than Shelby Dasher did, however, those emotions may be coming from guilt at what she did. I truly just don't see how it was a stranger abduction or an abduction at all now. I guess b/c I always see the good in people, I didn't think it was possible that DB harmed her. Call me naive I guess. Now with seeing how Baby Tyler's last minutes on this earth were, I do believe that anybody is capable of anything.
I think that baby Lisa, must have ended up in the fast flowing river, along with the cell phones. After the Tyler case, I was even at the point of thinking, hey, ya know, DB called her drinking "adult time" and if in fact maybe DB had been really really stressed with a sick baby to care for, along with a six and eight year old, and IF she was just so stressed and this "adult time" she had that night, did really de-stress her and cause her to calm down rather than hurt baby Lisa then I now would say, do whatever it takes even if you drink a box of wine, do anything other than kill your child. If Lisa had been so fussy and DB had lost night after night of sleep, and rather than beat or hurt Lisa, she instead just sat outside and had "adult time" and if that had helped DB to calm down and be able to deal with the Baby better, then at this point now, I would say go for it. Anything is better than killing your child, even if it means, sitting on your stoop and getting drunk which I know I wouldn't do, as alot of us wouldn't but if it had spared a life then go for it. I had judged her so much for drinking that much while children were in her care, but IF, a big IF, getting drunk, while her kids were safe and sound in the house, I would now say, hey whatever it takes, as long as the kids are safe. I'm so upset, I think I'm repeating myself here...
But now, seeing that possibly being under the influence may be what caused baby Tyler's mom to snap makes me think, if DB was stressed, maybe the alcohol just lowered her inhibitions and helped her to carry out killing baby Lisa. Or if DB was black out drunk and baby Lisa was taken out of that house alive, that is still better than baby Lisa dying at the hands of her stressed mother. But I'm sad to say, I've lost hope now. I do think DB snapped, and whether or not she had help, I think Baby Lisa and the phones ended up in the river. I hope I'm wrong, but if I'm right, I hope we see justice eventually. I'm sorry but just to know that Tyler was killed by his own mother's bare hands beating him over and over, makes me think anyone is capable of anything. I'm so sad that I have resorted to feeling that way.
So, truth is, I really don't think baby Lisa is with us any longer and it seems from the article I just read, LE doesn't think so either. My heart is broken for all the little children in this world that are now in heaven because they couldn't defend themselves in this world against the ones that were supposed to protect them and love them the most. It makes me so angry to think any human would take the life of anything not able to defend it's self. That's pretty pathetic. Sorry for such a sad post and I usually never give up hope, but my hope for Baby Lisa has diminished greatly. :sigh: :cry:
