I have been following the case with you all, trying to read all the threads and get my thoughts organized. I will echo the sentiments of others, so far it seems a bit of rumor is being treated as 'fact' at this point. I am on the fence and most of that is from lack of pieces to the puzzle. So far, looking at the videos of the mom, man she is a great actress or really greiving about something. Not sure if it is the baby is gone and she knows how or if she is greiving because she honestly does not know.
So far JI says he came home somewhere before 4 and called 911 thereafter. All the lights on and the door unlocked with a dog in the backyard. I keep wondering if mom really did go to bed with the 6 yo and she fell asleep, he got up and wondered around the house. I had a 6 yo who would do this. Turning on the lights an easy thing, but turning them off, not so much. I wondered if he went back to his bed and that is why she is saying he was in bed with her and JI is saying he checked on 'both' boys. Just being woken up out of bed I might not notice if whoever started there was really there or not. The dog barking? That one can't figure out other than, intruder came in through front. If anyone, including the parents would have opened the door to the back the dog would have barked or at least rattled the 'chain' so to speak in excitement to see the owner. I can rationalize the dog not barking.
Mom being married to the other guy...well, if he is military and deployed there is a chance she couldn't divorce him. I am not sure if it works that way anymore but if so, lets say the first year is the separation year , maybe they were trying to work it out, who knows. He gets deployed she hooks up with JI and now she is trying to get divorced and get married again. Wasn't there a report they were hoping to get married in April? The LDT, if guilt can be one of the factors that cause you to fail, I would fail to. Knowing that because I didn't check the doors or woke up when there was someone there or didn't save my baby I would be supremely feeling guilty at the 'do you have any idea what happened to Lisa' question. I left the door open and somebody took my baby.
I don't know though, its just pretty farfetched that there is nothing, nada, not a single lead to somewhere or something outside DB. That is the part I keep coming back to when rationalizing everything we know as fact so far. I would think an intruder would have left something of his behind, dirt, footprints by the window, fingerprints possibly, hair on the counter by the cell phones, something in Lisa's room. That is the part I can't reconcile. There isn't anything to suggest someone truly was in the house other than the people who live there or have been cleared already. Something is not right there.
I know also that when my dd passed away my ex dh was the rock of gibralter for his little girl. I otoh was a mess. He got through it by being a robot and doing what needed to be done and kept busy. I just got through it by almost pretending it wasn't happening at all. The medication helped calm my nerves but at the same time, I could cry at the drop of a hat, laugh at a drop of a hat etc etc etc. Its so hard to know what is true and sincere in this case. Like many of you I go back to other cases where the children were abducted out of their homes. I know it can happen, but even the case in FL where the baby has been missing for several years now without a trace, I still have doubt.
I rambled here, all of it my own humble opinion. I just am on the fence, having a hard time with it. Hopefully when concrete evidence starts coming to light we can have an easier time fitting the pieces. As of this moment though, anything is possible but highly improbable that this is a random kidnapping. :twocents:
