Dr. Marisa Randazzo

Is Dr. Randazzo going to work with FBI? Or just consult the family?

My understanding is that she isn't working for the family but for the benefactor who wants to help find Lisa. I would guess that would mean that she would be giving any ideas that she gets to LE/FBI.

 

[MyBelle]

Criminals aren't always after money.

I think it has been determined that the criminal responsible for Lisa's now missing status is motivated by $$$$. I've thought that from the beginning. If specialists are being brought in to help "negotiate" Lisa's return in exchange for a reward, I think that is great.

The only Randazzo I know makes the best king cakes for Mardi Gras time. I hope this Dr. Randazzo actually helps this case, though threat assessment and targeting worries me. Shouldn't they bring someone in to help search for Lisa or something about finding Lisa? Makes me wonder what is going on behind the scenes that a threat assessor needs to be brought in...I'm worrying about that family...

I think she will be searching for Lisa by looking for the signs that Lisa was targeted for kidnapping or she was taken as a targeted act of violence against one of the parents.

She will know all the tricks and what to look for to know if you have been targeted. I really think she could be very valuable in the case.

Trust me, the FBI have people working on this case that do the same thing she does that will probably like the idea of her coming in.

If it helps bring lisa home, or discover here wherabouts, I'm all for it. I hope she has a good sit down with mom and dad!

MOO

Good point. I hadn't thought of that possibility. I hope that is what is going on. I'm starting to be afraid that this family is being taken advantage of, and I hate the thought of that. But if what you're saying is true, then yes, that would be a great reason to bring specialists in.

I'm so lost on WTH is going on with this case, I'm just going thread to thread and randomly clicking the Thanks button.

Thank you, doc! That makes a lot of sense and would be very helpful in finding Lisa!

I don't think I really understand what it is Dr. Randazzo does exactly.

I am thinking in this instance, she will be sort of "profiling" the potential suspect(s). Her expertise seems to be in stalking/targetting/violent threatening behaviors. Granted its tooo late to asess the threat as the crime has already ocurred but maybe her expertise will lead to the whos and whys of why someone would take Lisa or target this family and child, thereby leading to the culprit.

At least that is what I want to believe since I am still unable to buy that the parents have any involvement.

I am hopeful that her presece here will actually assist in some way to getting this child home or at least finding her.

I agree she could be very valuable - for Debbie at the trial in coming up with her defense.

MOO.

 

[epiphany]

It was just one example of Dr. Randazzo's areas of expertise that don't fit this case at all.

It is admirable she wants to help and I am sure her background gives her some insight and understanding in a variety of human circumstances but I would be happier if they had brought in someone who actually had any experience in finding missing children.

It is my opinion that Dr. MR will become the spin doctor for the family. Here's what Stanton left out of his presser today:

Snipped; BBM

Stanton did not provide details on who to contact with information, or how the reward would be handled.

But he did add that a psychologist who specializes in threat assessment is joining him in the search for the missing child.

[curiositycat]

I'm not convinced that anyone LE, especially the FBI, has not asked to come in is really needed. Like others have said, the FBI brought in it's own team.

That's an insult to LE(MOO)

The minute these people started coming in, unasked by LE, my hinky meter soared.

 

[BeanE]

Maybe she's going to profile the dozen "people who've had miscarriages, people who cheat on their husbands" etc

We don't know that any harm has already befallen Lisa. I think the expertise is being sought to ensure no harm going forward, i.e., negotiate a return with someone who is perhaps mentally unstable or delusional.

[Lera213]

I have a theory:

What if FBI is using Dr. MF as the middle person to get inside and learn information the family will not tell police. Suppose this is the tactic, gain their trust, get on the inside then police follow up on leads or learn something more.

BS said something to the effect today that he has had conversations with the family but he didn't record it, he has not shared these conversations with LE. Now if my theory is wrong, I would be willing to bet that LE will apply pressure to BS for obstructing an investigation. They actually could call BS to the station to interview him about those conversations.

If this doesn't happen over the next week or so with I'm sure more circus like things happening, my theory might be spot on.

What was the purpose to announce he didn't tape record their conversations or talk to LE? Yes to gain the family trust more. I bet he is wired to the HILT.

 

[MissJames]

The only thing I want to know is,are these people available to all the cases that aren't highly publicized? Do they work pro bono at times without publicity?

In the Anthony case most of the "experts" joined as they had a book coming out,so I'm always suspicious.

That would be wonderful. Praying for a miracle.

sorry, I should clarify. I do not mean to say I think Lisa has been harmed (and I pray that she has not been).

I was addressing the fact that if this was an abduction, it would probably be an abduction by someone familiar with the family, who wanted to harm them/cause them pain. If that is the case, this lady could be very helpful in figuring out who that person is and how to deal with him/her.

To me, the act of kidnapping a specific child indicates this act is probably personal and feels "targetted" to me. And for the perp to be as brazen as to go into the house, take a child, possibly turn on lights and take cel phones while there, that person would need to become familiar with family and their habits to do that IMO. That would seem to suggest an element of "stalking" to me.

is that legal? I have no idea thats why Im asking. I know police wear wires but your scenario is different.
I was wondering if BS could get charged with someone. He stated on a LIVE pc he talked with the parents but wasnt recording it or hadnt talk to LE. Am I looking to far into this?

What is BS doing to obstruct the investigation that they could charge him for? I am not impressed with him so far but having conversations with the family that you don't share with LE is not a crime IMO.
