Hi Misha,
Randazzo can look at people close to the family and sum up if they could be a hidden threat. If the family is connected to a wealthy relative (and it seems to be the case), she could also be there to rule in or out a kidnap for money.

I missed all the new information yesterday while I was offline, and I've seen a few comments alluding to monetary incentive for kidnapping.

Would someone mind filling me in on why some suspect the wealthy benefactor is related and may have played a role in the whole situation?

TIA!

I don't believe "them" is responsible for Lisa's disappearance. A family is just as powerless as LE if the person responsible won't tell them where to find Lisa. I think there is an element of mental instability that requires professional intervention if finding Lisa is the goal and an arrest and prosecution is secondary at this point.

Great post. Mental instability is the very same thing I suspected.

She has a CIA background??? Do they think the baby was taken by a terrorist cell? I find her involvement really weird.

And I do wonder how the FBI and LE feel about her... CIA is a very different ball of wax, imo. Do we know if JI has a military background?

Don't know about JI, but DB's husband (they're still technically married) is reportedly on a tour of duty overseas. Maybe he was pizzed that Deborah was granted custody of their son, and she suggested that he might have arranged the abduction of Lisa in retaliation. jmo

This is not NEW news. Simply a rehash of the same thing.
From the same article

Will they even be taking the boys in for an interview? In her statement she said she was cancelling all appoints until next week.

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.

The parents keep two shotguns and a metal baseball bat in their bedroom. Their car had been broken into the preceding month. They had a signal with the neighbor across the street about the houselights. JI when he entered the house was very concerned that the lights were on. He also noticed an open window. This seems to be a pretty high level of vigilance.

Why is the car being broken into a sign of vigilance? Or do you mean it might have made them more vigilant?

If there was a threat, I wonder if JI took it more seriously than DB. The drinking without checking on the baby, blacking out and possibly leaving doors and windows unlocked do not sound quite as vigilant. They drank in the front of the house too where anybody could have observed that this could be a good night to make the threat a reality since the only adult in the home is out of it.

Apologies. Yes, I meant the car break in might have made them/him more vigilant. JI may have been the hyper-vigilant one. This is a man who bought a house when he was 18 years old--that's pretty serious and security concious to me. And he flies a pretty big American flag in the middle of their front yard.

Dr. Randazzo served as a Senior Expert with Business Intelligence Advisors, Inc., where she provided high-net worth families, corporations, and schools with investigative consultation on individual threat cases and training on threat assessment, bomb threat assessment, and the detection of deception. She also provided training on abduction prevention and escape tactics for children of high-net worth families, their caregivers, and protective details.

Newbie here. The bolded portion of MR's CV stood out to me. Deception Detection. Her BS meter must be up to 11 on this one. (MOO)

Reading through some threads here (not all), but I haven't seen that she has actually DONE anything, has she?

Nothing that I have seen published.

But if she really does work the case and happens to have some useful insight I would actually prefer if she shared her wisdom with the investigators and not the media.

Let's see. A member of the defense team brought this woman in. Hmmm. More spin.

 

[Sharai]

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.

JMO[/QUOTe

This is the first I have heard about there being a financial motivation for the abduction of Baby Lisa. Tell me more about this aspect. Shalom, Sharai

What I see is more drama for the media circus. They have found their new jewel... they have wrung out the Anthony saga and are milking this for all its worth. It is disgusting to me. This trend helps no one except TV ratings. I hope that this family at least knows the game and is using it to their advantage. IF they are guilty the spin can't hurt them.... IF they are innocent this can be damage to their lives irreparable. IMO the unknown benefactor is related to a network.

Maybe she jumped ship after the cadaver dog hit?

PURE speculation, no proof- not even a theory. Just a thought.

Perhaps she looked and wasn't able to offer anything that could help defense?

Or maybe she is talking to LE.

interesting-- thanks for posting your "thought" !!

Hi scmom!

THAT was exactly my thought. NO way is she going to shine a bad light on the parents if she was brought in by the defense...NO WAY!!!!!

She wouldn't publicly, but it's quite possible she spoke plainly to them privately, hence why she is no longer an active part of the case. We've had experts that we've hired for cases tell us straight up that the the state's evidence or interpretation is good and that there's nothing they can do.
