LE wants to interview the parents separately

[Geralyn]

SBM so I it wouldn't look like I was arguing your point. But from what I have become to know around here, this is the way he is -reliant on his other half to take care of things in general.

Thank you for that information. From the very first appearance I saw of JI, his demeanor has bothered me. \

 

[Turnadot]

Separate the witnesses.
Bullet Independent witness statements can be used as corroboration/ confirmation. Witnesses should not hear others’ statements because they may be influenced by that information.

This is why you question them apart. They can force them to do this, whether is be by arrest or subpoena. They need to take this to the GJ again if that is the case. That is why I am saying this is not a violation on their rights, it is done legally...

Oh I see. I thought we were talking about LE just knocking on their door and saying, 'All right DB and JI, you're coming with us and talking separately.'

Sorry that I completely misread the earlier post.
:blushing:

I guess though that LE can't arrest them or get a subpoena to separate them for questioning because there's no probable cause.

IMO

In law school our professor called certains peep " ole blue hairs" LOL they buy anything a cop says and you can bet you will see many of them at your trial sitting on the jury. This is what most peeps have to deal with at trial and even sitting in the audience. I wonder how many blue hairs are left now that our news is broadcast 24/7 and we have the net for even more info?

Billl Stanton said she took anti-anxiety meds and sleeping pills. He did not say that she took a sleeping pill that night. In any event, the combination of alcohol with anti-anxiety meds, let alone sleeping pills, is a very dangerous mix.

It's been mentioned before but Bill Stanton confirmed this on Joy Behar last night.

An interesting read to see all the "facts" of the case that this PI is getting wrong. And he's been hired to find out what happened to Lisa? He's retired LE apparently. I don't suppose he was very good at it?

MOO

snip
BEHAR: She admitted that she had 10 glasses of wine.

STANTON: She said that and she made -- how do I say this? I`m watching my words. You can`t have it both ways. She was hammered --

BEHAR: Yes.

STANTON: So, let`s say she was blasted. Ten glasses of wine she passed out.

BEHAR: Ok. And sleeping pills and antidepressants.

STANTON: Ok. Now, you`re out. Right? You`re out like a light.

I dont see him confirming anything. I read this as he is going along with Behar's scenario. And I thought it was 5 glasses of wine :waitasec:

I have serious paranoia issues when it comes to LE.

If my daughter were missing you would find me in one of two places: the police station, and searching. I would be camped in that interview office. I would willingly risk life in prison or the death penalty on the slimmest CHANCE that it might aid in her safe recovery. The police would be telling the media "Chris is not cooperating... we've asked him a dozen times to go home and he wont leave!"

But then, in Deborah's case, she has already told us that she places her own instant gratification and transient pleasure ahead of the welfare of her children. She TOLD us this, when she said that she sees nothing wrong with getting blacking-out comatose drunk with friends and abandoning a sick infant to fend for itself.

The word 'adult' implies responsibility. 'Adult Time' would be responsible adult behavior that you do not wish children to observe. Sexual activity falls into this category for example. Adult conversation fits the bill here as well. "Adult time" cannot, by definition, include participating in irresponsible behavior. Deborah, by her own statement, did not behave in a responsible adult manner. She did not care what happened to her children, any of them. She didn't give a damn.

Deborah cared about Deborah. Her pleasure came first. And as we can see, it still does. She cares no more about Lisa now then she did when she was guzzling wine on the porch.

If the boys are going to be interviewed on Friday, I desperately hope that the attorney will be with them, and it would be nice if parents are also. I have had the same experience as the poster "doubt", and due to my experience, I have had many people share similar experiences. I have seen documentaries of police interrogations of children. I do suspect police "ego" has developed quickly in this case. MO. I have read these blogs, and watched the threads, and I don't perceive that LE is now trying to find the baby, but that they do want to appear as "correct" and "win" and "solve the case fast." It is my opinion that anything they do now is under the directions of the prosecuting attorney, and not to find Lisa. If, someone were to call them and say they saw Lisa and know where she is, like the restaurant in Manhatten, Ks, I think they would check it out. Other than that, I think the LE is working to prosecute one of the parents.

:seeya: Welcome to Websleuths!!! We are so glad you are here and adding your perspective.

IIRC, DB said it was probably more than five, less than 10.

Bradley told Fox News's Megyn Kelly that she was drinking wine with a neighbor.

Megyn Kelly: "How much did you consume that day?" Deborah Bradley: "I had several glasses of wine."
Kelly: "When you say several, more than three?"
Bradley: "Yeah, but that has nothing to do with her."
Kelly: "More than five?"
Bradley: "Probably."
Kelly: "More than ten?"
Bradley: "No."

good ...what about the missing child? Assuming the parents have told everything they know to help cops find out what happened what benefit to Lisa is another interrogation? will it make whatever happened to her go away? no I cant see any benefit to anyone other than the cops and their efforts to name the parents as suspects. whatever happened to that poor child has happened and nothing will change that. The longer this goes on the less likely they will find her. they should have taken that neighbor's tip and combed the area that night. i dunno maybe they did but those type searches had a window of time. Now 3 weeks later it's pointless.

I don't think it is pointless until Lisa is found. Who knows what LE may have discovered these past weeks that may have raised new questions; perhaps emails on their computer brought out certain contacts that the parents had not mentioned or thought to tell LE about and LE has questions about who these people are; perhaps indications of recent services in the home were found and LE needs to find out who did the work; there could be all kinds of things that LE has learned in this period of time that only the parents could address. LE needs to know about not only their friends, but possible friends of friends, any workers around the house or neighborhood, anything that may not have occurred to them weeks ago when the stress of the early days was most intense. It doesn't have to be about pinning it on the parents, as many have concluded. JMO

 

[Geralyn]

Exactly. How can they expect LE to look elsewhere when they can't even clear the parents? Come on already, there's a missing baby here. And she is who this case is about.

They have been looking elsewhere though, despite not being able to clear the parents. As well they should. There should be no stone unturned, no lead or tip disregarded (generally). I don't think its what you meant (?), but your first sentence there conveys that LE can't be expected to look elsewhere since they can't clear the parents? There are extended family members, neighbors, handymen, random blobs, woods, waterways, etc etc that have been looked into. I don't think LE is conducting a singularly focused investigation, however narrow the scope is becoming. The dog hit in the bedroom would justfy that scope narrowing though, imho.

This is also why I have not really thought that the story has changed by the parents all that much also. If you really read between the lines ( I have found in anything the media has produced you have to do this) they are feeding her info and she is going along with it. Now if her statements to LE have changed that much, then I have a problem. I don't have a problem with changing statements to the media, as they make statements change all by themselves also. No, I don't like her attitude in the interviews, but I would want to see the whole interview to make up my mind. LE knows the game and this is why I believe they want RAW video.

And with damn good reason, IMO!!

No, no problem..I dont believe that LE can walk to their door to have them talk anyway. Not without an arrest warrant anyway. LE wants them to come to the police station and talk apart from each other. There it can be taped and filmed. I will go out on a limb here and say they have to get back to the GJ soon for an arrest warrant soon.

 

[Bon]

IIRC, neither of them refused to sit with LE separately. DB and JI have.

But the question is WHY??? If I were innocent I wouldn't mind being separated from my husband during questioning but if I am hiding something I would not want to be separated so we could agree with each others statements......

Not changing my mind her, the parents are the problem in this investigation while baby Lisa is out there no where to be found...

This may sound extremely far fetched but if my baby/ child was missing I would be insane with worry for my child and panicky to get her/him back.
If I had to be nailed to the cross to prove my innocence and it would help find my child I would do it...........I couldn't go on without my child.......my point is to find my child I would do ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[grandmaj]

LE is not one person. LE is many many people including the FBI in this case. LE is a group of men/women who investigate crime. Be it the disappearance of a child or the murder of that child. To say LE(engroup) is involved in misdirection it would mean that the minds of many many individuals form various agencies are all misdirected in the approach they are taking.

I don't see that here. I believe that Law Enforcement believed the claims in the initial phase and then evidence and curious other incidences started to point in another direction. Changed stories being a major point! Gaps in timeline being another..... Surprises another? If you are innocent of a crime when questioned you don't then surprise LE down the road by changing your story, timeline or activity calendar for the questioned time period.

LE searched, searched and searched some more. If Lisa was kidnapped then she could be anywhere. The parents need to spill what they know. Who were their enemies, who would want to harm them this way. Instead of "someone who cheated on her husband"?

If the parents did this and they refuse to cooperate then in time "IF" Lisa is found it will become clear why they didn't cooperate.

I refuse to blame a whole group of police agencies as being misdirected, less than professional or dishonest in their approach to a case. They know the drill they understand truth from fiction. Continuing to randomly search without having any idea what direction to go in is just not going to happen.

Why does she go along with information that she knows is wrong?

Yes, same for me. I'd prefer being separated actually, so that we didn't taint each others memory of that night.

IMO

 

[Abby Normal]

Color by me.

Presumably, based on LEs rare media blurbs, there is new evidence to be discussed. In addition, as mentioned in other posts, until the parents are cleared, it is difficult to move forward. The longer the parents hem and haw, the harder it will be to find Lisa. I, and many of us on here, have never said that they should give up their rights. Bring the lawyer. By all means, but do what needs to be done.

I agree. As much as I want to maintain my spot on the fence whilst awaiting scientific evidence, I think this is a huge black eye. Have a lawyer, be protected, but get it done. JMO.

Yes, this is what I meant. I know they're looking elsewhere, but in a missing baby/child case, the parents have got to be cleared in order to put all attention elsewhere.

 

[cluciano63]

Honestly, I don't know how the parents could let another day pass without speaking in depth with LE. I hope they don't, but there aren't any signs so far that point to a meeting taking place today...are they "winning" by not agreeing to do what LE asks? Does that feel good to them? JMO

 

[Donjeta]

STANTON: Well, the first thing I did is I went to the family and I gave them my provisos. I gave them my conditions. I said, I`m not here for you, I`m here for the truth. If the truth leads me to you as being the guilty party, I`m going to come for you. I`m going to report you. And they didn`t blink. They said, absolutely; vet us and then let`s go -- let`s get on to the work. And that impressed me.

BBM. It might have impressed LE too if they took this big boy-big girl attitude with them too, instead of "waah, they're checking us out, not fair".
