I know Ashley Irwin is the spokesperson for the family, but it is quite possible she's overstating how mom feels or is acting. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised at how strongly she worded her statement - I would have expected something different from an attorney. I know the criminal defense lawyers I work with would be displeased if one of their clients stated something like that to the media in such blunt terms.
Sometimes LE does focus on an individual incorrectly in an investigation. Innocent people have gone to jail. But you don't win your case by dragging the LE through the mud even before the grand jury has begun. When you start making things into a media circus, you start tainting your jury pool.
From what I've seen at work, if they did anticipate an arrest of Deborah, it would be a good time for a "soft" interview. Humanize her. Show how broken up she is about her missing child. Focus on finding the child - make her look like a caring mom. Ashley Irwin's statement does the opposite, and if mom IS innocent, having Ashley Irwin speak for the her/the family is doing them no favors, IMO.
I think you get your pick.....crow, hat or turducken. You can choose either red or white with those, as long as you go to the store alone and in a disguise...pay in cash....get rid of the receipt.
I think its very telling that no one is looking for a living baby....and we really haven't seen the parents out pleading for her either.
Something happened....I think mom was involved some way...dad knows.
Mom is sick with grief...dad is in shock.
If someone took my baby, there is no way in heck I would let my two other children out of my sight...not for an hour...not for a day.
Geeze vlpate, I don't know why your post was removed then .... :waitasec:
Maybe it can be re-posted - I dunno how long those comments stay around on the news fb sites - if it is still there it looks like it can be linked.
It was Deborah's mother who died (she had been in AA for I believe up to 8-9 years before her death).
Well, I'm not so sure mom is innocent, so this is a good thing.
She "cries" with very little tears. I've seen them a few times, but her face gets all red, she makes all the requisite sounds, but no tears. Yeah, yeah. I know....we all react differently. But if you're going to go to the trouble of putting all the other "signs" out there, like heaving body, red face, hyperventilating....then you should have a few tears available.
My husband took one look at her on TV and said, "Susan Smith, all over again."

I so agree with you. What was the point of her coming out and saying that to a media outlet? It sure doesn't make DB look any better. Why not talk about her character and what a good mom she is, etc? Or perhaps not talk at all?
OK..assuming mom is being paranoid about the arrest, I haven't seen any ongoing pleas being made to find Lisa. Have they shown up on television lately? All I'm seeing are reports of LE doing searches around the house, the neighbours home, alleged surveillance tapes at a store.
Where are the parents? Shouldn't they be continuing to beg for Lisa's safe return? I'm not talking about a sit down hotel interview with a major network. It just seems the focus to find Lisa has halted. Why?
If this were my child God forbid, I would be knocking down peoples doors searching their homes myself, I would be in the woods, I would be swimming in a river and crawling through a sewer if I had to. I would be serving those police and detectives damn coffee and cake and bottled water to the people out searching. I would do everything in MY power to make sure they were doing everything in THEIR power to find my child. These parents from what I can only see from TV have done nothing.. Guilty or not, this makes them guilty of neglect as far as I am concerned.
I am trying to decide what is the best method of eating crow:
- crow soup
- broiled crow
- fried crow
- crow casserole
Crow casserole sounds like the best option. Elepher is preparing to eat crow.
IMO this will all go down fairly quickly. I am disgusted that it sure looks like another baby may have been harmed by the hands of someone who are supposed to be protecting her.
Note: Only preparing to eat crow as LE still has not named any POI or suspects that I know of.

If it makes you feel better, I ate the biggest batch of crow every: Somer Thompson. Sadly, I was one of the ones who crucified DT here... So so sorry...:no:

I think the lawyer/relative is fishing. She's throwing it out there to see what LE says about it.
