10/6/2011 GMA interview with Lisas Parents
Reporter: So, so, so, Debbie, try and take us back to the last time you saw Lisa. You put her, you checked in on her around 10:30 Monday night?
DB: Um, Yeah. Between the time she went to bed and the time I went to bed, and uh, I gave her her bottle, I, I, I put her to sleep, and uh, that was the last time we seen her.
I tend to believe 10:30 was originally relayed to LE as the last time DB saw Lisa since it was in all the initial press releases. Whatever you think the reason behind the change, the timeline changed. I know there are those who think DB was simply "trying to be honest." Not sure why she would try to be honest instead of just being honest, but I think it is more usual for people to remember more details instead of forgetting more as they rethink events.
DB drinking: Either she was "possibly" black out drunk or else she is using being drunk as an explanation for self confessed "gaps in the timeline." Either way, not good.
As far as diminished capacity prohibiting DB from doing this or that, I don't really know. I suppose people react differently. I know during my misspent youth back in the seventies, I woke up quite a few times surprised to see my car safely in the driveway, and once on a bitterly cold New Year's eve, I walked 2 miles home wearing only a silk blouse, skirt, in heels, because I got drunk at the bar and got into a fight with my boyfriend. Not especially proud of those dubious accomplishments, just saying people routinely perform all kinds of tasks while drunk.
I keep reading that DB was not in good enough physcial shape to walk a ways while carrying a weight of 20-30 libs. Maybe, but it looks to me like she is young and generally healthy. She's not exactly a candidate for gastric bypass and besides, she may have been highly motivated.
I also see it mentioned often that DB and JI are not "sophisticated". You don't have to be smart to commit a crime and lie about it In fact, I would say it's pretty common.
I got to mention the lights which seem to be a sensitve issue with DB. Either she and SB are not telling the truth about her turning the lights off which is bad or an intruder came in and turned on various lights which is not probable.
Sorry about the lengthly post, but just one more observation. I wonder if people are more understanding of DB's behavior and statements because she's a woman. Nobody likes to think a mother would commit a crime against her child. She seems to get cut a lot more slack than say Ronald Cummings or Justin DiPietro.
For all who are interested in the mysterious kitten. The only follow up seems to be from the People magazine article of 10-31 which reports that the kitten was found after JI went to work and before DB went to bed.
All my speculations and opinion only.
