Answering question about why DB changed her story about the time last seen:
JT: "No, people are making a little bit more of that than it is. She's not changed her story as to when she saw the baby last. She describes putting her to bed at a certain time during the night. Obviously she wasn't clocking that and when she was putting the child to bed she wasn't marking the time down, and when she was reinterviewed she had her recollection refreshed on a few of things and moved the time. But understand this, this woman is someone who is missing, and is under grief and trauma every day, who is missing her eleven month old baby, and she's been not only interviewed and given everything she's to give to the authorities but she's been accused by innuendo and rumor directly and indirectly of having a hand in the disappearance of this child"
What do you think refreshed her recollection and reminded her that she doesn't remember if she checked on Lisa at 10.30?
I could understand if she first didn't remember if she checked and then something refreshed her recollection and she was reminded that yea, I checked on her at 10.30.
But how does it happen that your recollection is refreshed and you don't remember any more?
Exactly. When LE started to point out the inconsistencies in her statements and put some pressure on her, she clammed up. So the "dream team" had to come up with a reason why. Hence the media blitz with the drunk talk. LE knew she had been drinking that evening but she did give some very specific answers about the timeline and the sequence of events which would indicate that she wasn't blind drunk or blacked out at any point. When the inconsistencies were pointed out, perhaps based on questioning of JI, the neighbour and other witnesses she stopped co-operating. Was she trying to hide the level of intoxication at first or is that just a smoke screen now? Hard to say.
But one thing is for sure. She has seriously hampered the effort to find her daughter with all of this. If she is innocent and the child was abducted, the usual protocols for LE press conferences asking people to be on the lookout for the child, reporting suspicious behaviours of friends, neighbours and acquaintances never really happened. Because they couldn't get past DB's inconsistancies.
But remember one thing, before they started talking with her they did give her the benefit of the doubt and put out that very rare Amber Alert. So they did not suspect her of any wrong doing until they interrogated her. And if it was just her level of intoxication that she was trying to hide, well that's a shame. Because her daughter deserved a much better start to the investigation into her disappearance.
