Missing in a Moment: Baby Lisa

Ten-month-old baby Lisa disappeared from her home on October 3, 2011 and hasn't been seen since then. Her parents, Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, say Lisa was abducted from her crib that fateful night. In this Dr. Phil exclusive, the distraught couple, joined by their attorney, Joe Tacopina, breaks their three-month silence. Did Deborah, who admits to being drunk the night Lisa went missing, have any involvement in the baby's disappearance? How does she explain reports that she failed a polygraph test? And why have Deborah and Jeremy been accused of being uncooperative? Plus, hear the couples' explanation for their apparent inconsistent recollections about which lights were on in the house and the mysterious phone call reportedly made from Deborah’s cell phone on the night Lisa went missing. Then hear from the private investigator who has been searching for Lisa: where does he think the baby is, and why does he believe she’s still alive? Don't miss this Dr. Phil exclusive.

There's nothing new - just rehashing the same old things.

Thanks for posting this!

So Jeremy's parents thought DB was a great mother and had no concerns about her drinking. I'm taking note of this to be filed later.

 

[Whisperer]

Anyone have a link with any pictures of Jeremy's parents with baby Lisa? Or them with Jeremy and Deb? Maybe they're saving it for Dr. Phil.

bbm = Seems like you have really studied DB in depth.

I wonder how many people posting on this very site have a few drinks a couple of times a week???

I wonder the same thing....:floorlaugh:.

Between that and cigarette smoking, it bugs the heck out of me..

 

[Sparklin]

Yes! MANY times!

This was just the first one I could find. I think NO suspects definitely includes the parents wouldn't it? He has said this even very recently. I am not totally not understanding why they are allowed to be treated as such on here. It is against TOS and clearly stated as such.

I agree ~ seems like 'victim friendly' goes out the window regarding Deb and Jeremy, definitely beyond lenient. I'm shocked at some of the comments I see here....especially the ones that are totally irrelevant except to be mean.

 

[Whisperer]

This is a victim friendly board. The victim is Lisa Irwin. Not any of us are about to forget her even though, it appears, her parents have.

 

[Sparklin]

Picerno and Tacopino will present the best side of the parents for the public. Since this is the best setting possible with a wide eyed public who are not gong-ho on crime but are sympathetic to victims of crime, this is an attorney's wet dream.

You mean like Deb and Jeremy? You mean like WS is??

 

[Whisperer]

I'm going to assume that is a rhetorical question..

bbm = Seems like you have really studied DB in depth.

I have not seen or heard ANYTHING from ANYONE that points to DB being an alcoholic. I have three brothers and an alcoholic father. No one on my dads side drank to excess and none of us kids do.

Jeremy's family has been very vocal about what a great mom Deb was -- no concern about drinking mentioned.

I wonder how many people posting on this very site have a few drinks a couple of times a week???

BEM: I won't comment on other posters, but I will venture to say, a mother who gets "drunk" 2 or 3 times a week when she has a baby and two small children in her care, and thinks she's justified, is a problem drinker.

 

[Whisperer]

A person doesn't have to born into alcoholism to be an alcoholic. It can strike anyone. And just because one's parents are, doesn't mean the children will be; however, they have a higher chance of becoming one.

Picerno says they are suspects and there are no quotes from LE saying they have been eliminated as suspects.

Is Jersey a suspect in this case?

 

[Sparklin]

it saddens me that this is the new norm for people who lose/misplace/disappear their children while the children are in their personal care: give several stories, don't cooperate, lawyer up, bad mouth law enforcement, then go on national tv for your starring role in the ratings race.

but at the end of the day a child is still gone and the storie(s), from the parent who had care of the child, still make no sense and average people like me are chastised for wondering why this is okay.

Media is the new norm for plenty of things ~ good and bad. In this case, those that think D/J had something to do with their daughters disappearance, think it's baaaad -- those, like me, that don't think they did and those people who hadn't heard about Lisa (and there are still many) will see her and hopefully find her...think it's a good thing.

The fact that a child is still missing is the main point here. I am hoping that she is alive, regardless of STATS.

bbm = I am an average person too, and although I believe something different than you do, I am also being chastised for my opinion and belief ~ don't be offended.

I want Lisa found no matter the circumstances and want whoever is responsible for her being missing these past months, to pay for that.

This is sobering - hopefully he still feels as strongly about mothers and drinking irresponsibly.

It's not personal Sparklin'.

My problem with her is that she started drinking at about 5 pm, while the kids were still up and around. I think it is 'normal' to have a nitecap or two once the kids are bathed, done their homework and are tucked away and ASLEEP. But even then, you need to stay sober enough to handle emergencies, which may happen in the middle of the night. Especially with 3 young kids in one's care. I have never been to the ER in broad daylight, usually things happened at night. lol

Is Jersey a suspect in this case?

Above post is another misrepresentation:

The Kansas City Police Department, however, was quick to refute the claim, telling Fox News that the parents have not been told they are suspects.

"We have no suspects in the case," Kansas City police spokeswoman Stacey Graves said in an email to FoxNews.com.

If my child was missing I would look thinner from all the waking hours I spent looking for my child, t.v. , malls, grocery stores would be littered with the missing posters in a 500 mile radius of my home. I would beg for a lie detector test, I would be at that poleeese station as well as the news station day and night until I had some answers. Yes my hair would be dyed, to cover all the grey hairs. I am asking, what HAVE they done to help find that child?????

 

[eileenhawkeye]

I think that Deborah and Jeremy want the case to fade away, and their lawyers were the ones who convinced them to go on Dr. Phil. It just doesn't make sense to me that they would go three months without saying a word to the media, and now they're back. If they wanted the case to be forgotten, they wouldn't revive it. If they want people to look for Lisa, they wouldn't have stopped talking to the media in the first place.

If their lawyers signed on to this case because of the amount of coverage it was getting, they might have been hoping they could get months or even years of air-time out of it, name recognition, more prestigious clients, etc. I could see why they wouldn't be happy when the case left the media. I remember a few weeks ago, they released that statement about how there were new leads in the case, and I don't think that "development" got much interest from national media, so perhaps they think the Dr. Phil interview will bring the media circus back.

I could definitely see the Irwins doing whatever their lawyers told them to do in regards to the media.

 

[Whisperer]

They have NOT been named Suspects, OFFICIALLY. I suspect both parents consider themselves suspects and I also suspect that LE has told their attorneys that they have knowledge of what happened.

The attorneys know that LE wants to talk to them and they know why. This is all a big mess due to the legalities involved. If LE names a "Suspect" (probably going to include POI in the official legal language) attorneys will use it to nail Law Enforcement. It is what they do.

It is to be taken for granted that LE suspects them of wrongdoing but they have NOT officially labeled them. Heck, nowadays LE can't call anyone a suspect (and they are scared of POI) till they are charged due to defense attorneys.

If he used that on DB, she may crack. Wow! This is exactly what I am talking about. Even if DB did not kill Lisa, she is responsible for her death or abduction. Somewhere, Somehow, people have got to learn NOT to leave their children EVER with a person who is drinking or a druggie. Jeremy stands with her. He is an irresponsible parent.
