LE wants to interview the parents separately

[darnudes]

Young said he is "not disputing" family attorney Joe Tacopina's claims that the family has cooperated and answered other questions, such as specific questions regarding tips and leads. But that is not sufficient, he said.

The above is part of the statement made by Young that goes against what he has claimed to the media before now. In one statement we have Young claiming that the parents have stopped co-operating with LE and are no longer answering questions. Then in the above statement we have Young stating the opposite. Was the statement reversed because of the parents now having a lawyer that is telling the media the truth about the parents still answering questions? At this point, who knows. But it does make LE seem untrustworthy and willing to feed the parents to the wolves (media) to get whatever outcome they suspect this information (misinformation in this case) will bring about.

MOO

Hmm, supplying "tips and leads" - come on what a joke!

And this is why I bolded that section in a prior comment.

Talking to LE about tips and leads is one thing, although awful memories of Cindy accusing anyone but Casey are surfacing, but what about a coherent timeline?

It's obvious the parents are only willing to talk about things that put the focus away from themselves and that is not good enough when you are asking the whole country to look for your baby, who supposedly went missing when you were passed out drunk!

 

[norest4thewicked]

I supported DB completely until the timeline kept changing and just the fact that she put this baby "away" at 6:40, not to check on her for hours. So, it's not like I always thought she was guilty from the beginning. It was heartbreaking to accept that her changing stories mean to me that she knows what happened to that precious baby.

What about Lisa's right? Right now, the rights of her parents are not a concern of mine...sorry, they just aren't. They would be, if they had not changed stories, declined to talk to police when asked, etc....but right now Lisa can't help LE and she needs to be helped. The police are learning bits and pieces perhaps, after searching the home, reviewing the computers and phone logs and probably have brand new questions. Who to answer them, if not the parents? And because the parents are in a huff, they avoid doing so? I know I am rambling but this is just beyond ludicrous to me, not to mention totally creating and maintaining the circus-like atmosphere that this case has taken on.

LE is NOT in the business of stringing people up just to close a case. There may be the occassional "bad" cop, but just as often, if not more often, there are parents killing their own children; we read about that everyday.

And, sadly, getting away with it! "Disappearing" children (and wives) seems to be reaching epidemic proportions jmo

 

[frankie069]

Once again it comes down to this. What are DB and JI so worried about being questioned for. What do they have to hide because you are only afraid if you have something to hide. If you really want your child found you do what you have to do. You fall off the ends of the earth for your children, you dont hide away and come out at your convenience and no matter who you are YOU dont tell LE what to do to make you happy or come down and talk to them, you dont give them conditions, you do what LE tells you to so. If these parents were innocent, they would have seen that LE was on their side. How can anyone be on their side now. THEY have made themselves look guilty and have only themselves to blame for that.

 

[Cortne]

I am very familiar with LE and I can tell you that they wouldn't be saying that if there wasn't a reason.

I am as well and YES they would. Several have told me yes they absolutely would.

[marge_rita]

Well maybe they are convinced their attorneys can find Lisa and the police are not needed for anything.

Honestly, rights are all well and good and it is a relief we have them, but I just don't understand how people even think of their own rights if their child is gone, maybe in danger, maybe deceased, maybe being kept by a pervert...only LE seems concerned about Lisa's rights as a person. JMO

that scenario might work better if the mother in this case hadn't already given several versions of her story.

I know that in the times that I have been in situations in which the crap has hit the fan in whatever way that the first story that I can remember is not always the way that the story really is. Things happen to fast and details get lost then as I have time to sit back and think about things I start remembering more details.


I can also understand that this woman had too much to drink on that night and she is probably more mortified by that than anyone can even imagine. She probably thought that telling that to start with would immediately cause them to look at her as a suspect on top of being ashamed that when her daughter needed her she was too drunk to help out. Can you imagine the guilt in that alone?


I don't know what happened to that baby and no one else here does either but so many people here seem to lose their humanity in these cases so much so as to the point of being down right cruel.

I wouldn't wish for anyone to lose a child but until it happens to you, you don't know what you would do or how you would react no matter how much that very thing gets preached on this board.


*taking a time out*

 

[marge_rita]

LE doesn't want a lawyer present, is that it? Well, that is unconstitutional. No reason for anyone to waive their constitutional rights in this investigation.

Is it unconstintutional?

One has a right to an attorney.
Doesn't mean one HAS to be there. Yes?-No?

imo

 

[darnudes]

btw

I'm of the opinion it will be a cold day in hell before Tacopina allows either one of them to be interviewed again. So really we'll see soon enough, won't we.

Going by body language, if you believe it, Tacopina knows Lisa is dead and he's not about to let his clients go off the reservation.

 

[heartfortruth]

If you want my honest answer, then you have to take my word for it.. I would put up for it as long as I had to, as long as they wanted to keep me there. They could get in my face as much as they want. They could torture me if they wanted to. I dont care. Just find my baby. But you know what, I wouldnt stop talking with LE, I wouldnt change my time line unless it was something I might have forgotten about, which would not have been something as drastic as a bedtime or a blackout and I would cooperate as much as I had to, I would be setting up command centers of volunteers, I would be manning my phone at home in case someone called to tell me they had my child, I would be afraid to go to the bathroom in fear i would miss something and I would be on every single local and non local channel with a RECENT picture of my child begging for her return every single chance the media would give me to be on TV. I would be in the paper, the radio anything at all. I would be walking the streets, my family would be doing the same. So to answer your question, I would do anything at all they wanted me to do and put up with anything they threw my way, but you know what, they wouldnt keep me long because I wouldnt be lying and they would know that.

Your post actually brought tears to my eyes; that is EXACTLY how I feel , and THEN SOME!!!
Also, I would REALLY like to KNOW how that interview DB had with LE where she was ACCUSED , etc. actually went; as far as I know , we really have ONLY her take on how that all went down. (as someone as mentioned before)

 

[mysteriew]

They already did, for 17+ hours.

Could there really be questions of that nature - who was there in the house that day, etc., that they haven't already answered? In separate rooms, for hours and hours?

I just had to jump in with this. 17.5 hours. That sounds like a lot. But most people work 36-40 hours in a week. They do it to keep their jobs. Some people work 50-60 hours in a week. Again, to keep their jobs. Is Lisa less important than a job?

Most probably the LE investigating this case have worked 40 + hours a week on this case. And she isn't even their child. So in the 3 weeks since she has been missing, they have probably logged in about 120 + hours on this case. And how many investigators are there? LE has logged a lot of man hours on this case. Many more than 17.5.

How many WS members feel they have probably put in more than 17.5 hours on this case in the last 3 weeks? I know I have. I would bet that many more have.


So in the grand scheme of things, 17.5 hours doesn't sound like very much at all, for parents who claim their child was abducted.

Last in interviews with the parents on Oct. 8. Since that time several searches were completed, Jersey was arrested, an abandoned home was reported and cleared. There was another report of a man walking around with a baby, and a blob was seen on camera. Several live sightings have been investigated. A search warrant was served on their home. I would think that in all that activity it is likely that several new questions may have come up. Possibly info that LE wants to impart to the parents. But for some odd reason, parents don't want to. They want LE to give them info, but they don't seem to want to exchange info.

 

[AnaTeresa]

That is such a jaded view of LE and the way they do things. Too many people here (I think) watch too much CSI. LE does not do things this way. They want to find whoever took Lisa. It's about Lisa. It's not about DB. Too many people are forgetting that!

I see interrogation tapes as part of discovery for my work. LE certainly can and do jump straight to accusations, based upon the case. They hammer away, trying to see if someone's going to break. This doesn't mean that they are in your face, yelling at you, or threatening violence. But they will go back to the same thing, over and over and over, trying to trip you up. It will go on for hours and it will seem like they aren't listening to you.

This isn't the case for every investigation, nor is it the case for every LE officer or detective. But I certainly think it's a valid point - I see the video evidence of it all the time.

Yes, it would be unconstitutional for LE to require anyone to be interviewed without an attorney present, if that person had said they want an attorney.

Not saying LE have done that here, just giving a general answer.

 

[nursebeeme]

iirc the article said nothing about lawyers... they said they needed to ask the tough questions ... (and also said they wanted to ask them who had been in and out of the house that night)

I have a feeling the family attorney's may be restricting lines of questioning... just my feeling and two cents

 

[marge_rita]

If they were not asking questions, but merely saying we know you killed your baby, how long then would you sit there. Please measure this in days, as they did.

If D and J were honestly worried about finding their baby Lisa-whose been missing 4 weeks, wouldn't they act more concerned? Wouldn't they be more connected to local LE and the FBI?

imo

 

[madge]

Didn't the lawyer just say that he would agree to them being interviewed? So now the ball is in the Irwin Bradley court. They'll have a lawyer present, the lawyer will of course protest at every question but still LE will have a fresh set of eyes on them.

It's been a LONG time since Oct 8 when they gave their last interview to police.

 

[marge_rita]

BBM: I agree ...

LE has NOT gone "running to the media" ... BUT DB and JI, their PI and their 2 defense attorneys certainly have !

LE has been very professional in their handling of thise case ... they have kept a "lid on it" so they would NOT compromise the investigation ... and that is understandable ...

The parents have taken "their case" and "their defense" to the media !

MOO ...

Truly LE has not. They rarely speak to the media.

 

[Peliman]

Yes, I beleive LE wants a lawyer free interview separately with Jeremy and Debbie, I think lawyers use the same tactics and interfere as in "I wouldn't answer that question." Just like an IRS audit, Hello we're IRS and want to audit you. Any good accountant lawyer is going to ask the IRS which areas they question.

I think LE has gained more knowledge as the investigation moves along, I'm sure they want to question them both about it. I think any good defense lawyer would advise against it, but this is America.

I think LE should ask for what they want, free of lawyer interference. I'm sure he instructed Deb and Jeremy what their rights are. I think Jeremy and Debbie should grab themselves by the butt and go in there and do it. They and we already know it won't be pleasent or a day at disney. Go Jeremy and Debbie, do it for Lisa, get-r-done.

I don't have a problem with LE using the press, they often do. It's somewhat of a love/hate relationship with the press. I think LE has done an outstanding job investigating. If Jeremy or Deb gets charged, I hope LE has the evidence to back up their charges. This isn't about Jeremy and Deb, it's about finding baby Lisa.

Yes I also beleive that it's possible something revealed in an interrogation could lead to finding baby Lisa. Let all of them clear the air and communicate.

Well, it depends. 17.5 hours would certainly be a lot if it started at, say 5am. Particularly if you'd just finished working the night shift. Or if you'd only had a couple hours of sleep. 17.5 hours is also a lot if there aren't significant breaks. When we're talking hours of work a week, there's significant time away from the job as well. How much time away are you really getting from the questioning? And if you're stressed and worried about your child being missing, you're certainly not resting well. You're not at your best. Your tired, your mind is fuzzy, you're stressed beyond belief, and you're repeating the same things over and over. In those circumstances, 17.5 hours is going to feel a hell of a lot longer than working a 40 hour, easy work week, complete with plenty of time to go home and rest and sleep.

IMO that isn't what is being said at all. SY is saying he isn't going to get into a standoff with JT over the parents. He is saying the parents did appear to cooperate. At least at first. But they stopped cooperating. And now that LE has additional questions, they aren't available and aren't cooperating.
