Donjeta, YOU:rocker:

Thank you so much! Now off to watch the interviews again.

It doesn't matter if LE did interview them once or not for DB to refuse to let them be interviewed again is "TELLING"

My baby is missing, LE would have full access unless you have something to hide.

I actually have to disagree. I'm just not in favor of LE interviewing kids, and these kids have apparently already been interviewed once. And they're already traumatized by having their little sibling go missing.

I would be very hesitant about LE interviewing my children directly. I think I would hire them an attorney and a counselor, and let them pass on the info to LE.

I just don't think it indicates guilt if you don't allow your kids to be interviewed. There are ways to fully cooperate without that.

Of course, I haven't heard that Deb is going to pass info from the kids through an attorney or counselor, so I'll have to wait and see on that.

Sigh Sister and Debthree and all new members!!:seeya:

Thank you! :blushing:

I would love to know what she and her neighbor friend talked about as they sat on the porch and drank wine together. Did they talk about neighborhood gossip, their children, their marriage/SO relationships...or did they maybe discuss the Casey Anthony case or any other missing children cases. I wonder if either of them followed the Casey Anthony trial? I know it's been mentioned several times the possibility of a hoax and now...well now I'm :waitasec:.

It just seems like they jumped on the money train rather quickly, doesn't it.

 

[Sigh Sister]

I just heard DB say "they showed me burnt clothes" "They told me about doppler pings on my cel phone" "I hope the burnt clothes weren't real" (referring to the fact that LE may have been using an investigative technique as opposed to something related to her daughter)

"I couldn't have done anything to her my daughter"

DA "How do you know?"

DB "I just know. Because there is a God"

My bad. Thanks for correcting me!

JI said she jumped up like something was wrong - and that's when he knew something was wrong. That's where I came in.... so odd that this wasn't mentioned before.

Dan Abrams believes them... not unusual, he always takes the side of his exclusive interviews.

 

[essies]

didn't I hear or read that this was a 45 min. interview? There must be more coming-NBC is gonna milk this in snippets all week!!:banghead:

 

[tlcya]

After being asked what whether he thinks they had anything to do with it DA "After talking to them, looking them in the eye, it's hard to believe"

 

[andalso]

I find it painful to think about the fact that as we sleuthers have struggled to piece together the truth about baby Lisa, that DB has been trying to sleuth the truth as well, and she lived it. I'm worried that if she doesn't even know what happened that night (and it sounds like that is what she is admitting to), then how will we ever know the truth?

and she told the the people magazine this:


Bradley settled down at home for dinner and drinking with a neighbor. She put Lisa down in her room around 6:40 p.m., she says. Only once more soon afterward did she check on Lisa, finding her standing in her crib before tucking her back in.

And, then she said she had no problem drinking because Lisa was sleeping. But she never actually witnessed Lisa sleeping, according to this.

I'm watching it now on GMA....it showed at 7:30 CST

eta: it just ended for those scrambling for their tv's

I saw the interview, although I am not able to connect you to it- not good with that stuff! Dan asked clear and direct questions. They talked about alcohol but nothing definitive was said about how much. She insisted that alcohol had nothing to do with the disappearance of her baby, although she did not make a statement about the extent of her alcohol use that evening. She was very emotional. Talked about things LE said to her, accusing her. Said she understands they are doing their job. Dan said after the interview that he is not picking up any "vibe' from the parents that they are guilty. She also told Dan that when she used to watch stories like these on the news she always 'thought the parents did it' and that this experience has given her a very different perspective. Dan seemed almost sympathetic.

So now she puts Lisa to bed at 6:40 and she doesn't say whe she last checks on Lisa:

She put Lisa down in her room around 6:40 p.m., she says. Only once more soon afterward did she check on Lisa, finding her standing in her crib before tucking her back in.

In the first paragraph of the article:

On the night her 10-month-old daughter disappeared, Lisa Irwin's mother drank enough wine at home while relaxing with a neighbor that she has no recollection of whether or not she checked on her daughter or turned off the house lights before she went to bed.

wow again.

Is there a link for the interview this morning? TIA

Yes that is the correct place. It was an old casino, well the casino part is now gone since it was a boat. But the parking garage and main building remain. The area you have marked is actually the parking garage. The fire was on the west side of the main building which is what the garage connects to. The fire burned the majority of what was in there. All that my officers could see for sure were the sterno cans. I think it was relatively empty since it was only Monday and no one is there on the weekends or after hours except the cleaners and us when we go down there for patrols.

The area that you marked in yellow is normally above water most of the time, usually covered by weeds and random greenery. I think it's pretty shallow but can be easily accessed by just walking. We did have the cops there once before looking for a gun that someone threw into the river upstream about half a mile. They believed that it might wash up there.

Thank you. According to Debbie in her TODAY interview, she now says Lisa was last seen at 6:40 p.m. She also says the boys heard noises, but that she is not sure if they heard them before they went to bed or after. She'd rather not clarify it with them at this time or let them talk to LE.

Your surveillance footage - have all the videos been reviewed for suspicious activity from 6:45 p.m. Monday night to about 4 a.m. Tuesday morning? It is very possible that footage could reveal something that could break this case.

Not once did she plea to the kidnappers!! She seemed really kind of angry underneath the tears. I dont believe her. moo

How childish to do this publicly:

I just heard DB say "they showed me burnt clothes" "They told me about doppler pings on my cel phone" "I hope the burnt clothes weren't real" (referring to the fact that LE may have been using an investigative technique as opposed to something related to her daughter)

"I couldn't have done anything to her my daughter"

DA "How do you know?"

DB "I just know. Because there is a God"

Thanks for that. I can't watch the Today video because my computer hates that site and won't load. It just sits and buffers and I can't be bothered to download their special app or whatever it is. Will have to wait until someone puts it on you tube (hint hint) :seeya:

But what is with that answer? I just know, because there is a god.

That makes no sense to me - none whatsoever.

I didn't see it in context, so maybe I'm reading it wrong. But like I said (and another poster as well) -- sounds like she's still drunk.

MOO

IMO, that's nonsensical. Sadly, loving, sober parents have left their child locked in a hot car for hours, which led to their deaths. DB was drunk; it's not impossible, IMO, that she hurt her baby as a result of drunken sloppiness.

BBM: I'll bet she did. She knows something like an accident or fit of rage would have to be recorded before a guilty conviction would happen. Wonder if this is why they haven't hired an attorney - it always looks bad for the parents.

And yet again, no poster of Lisa, no HELP FIND LISA pin with her picture on it. Did they even say Lisa's name on either show?

Starting to loathe this pair.

DB "I just know. Because there is a God"

There is a difference between saying "I didn't do anything to my daughter" and saying "I couldn't have done because God wouldn't have let me."

So if she in fact did something it's all God's fault?

Sorry, hiding behind God isn't working for me. Lots of drunken parents did something to their children whether or not one subscribes to the same religious view DB does.
