New CNN article: Police: Parents of missing Missouri girl decline separate interviews

Just terrible! Do the right thing for your child, both of you! :furious: :furious: :furious:

BTW - According to LE, they have never asked the parents to do any interview without their attorney present. I'm going with believing LE! These parents do not and have not wanted Baby Lisa found. :banghead:

this is misleading and is NOT new.
From the SAME article

The couple's attorney disputed the police account and said Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley, parents of 11-month-old Lisa Irwin, are not opposed to separate interviews. But they will not do what police requested, an unrestricted interview with no attorneys present, the attorney said.

I don't even know what to say about this case anymore. Your baby, who supposedly is the "glue" that holds your whole family together and is "everything" to you, goes missing and within days you take your ball and up and go home because some mean old detectives hurt your feelings. Who does that, except someone with the mentality of a 12 year old? Or someone who is hiding something.

I think at this point LE should just write these two off and go about their business investigating the case. I don't see the point of LE wasting any more time with these two uncooperative, lawyered up witnesses/suspects. Just investigate the case like they do any other case when the POIs remain silent and lawyer up.

LE needs to move on from these two and solve this case despite them.

I totally agree. While they keep themselves occupied with all this whining about meanie investigators, in the meantime their daughter is languishing in the hands of a criminal individual, suffering every day because she's been violently separated from her loving parents. Supposedly.

JMO but if they insist on both being there while they're interviewed it says to me that they're afraid of getting the stories mixed up and/or LE convincing the other one to do a deal with them, and if I'm right it means that even if they were interviewed they probably wouldn't be telling the truth anyway.
So, *shrug*.

But they've already been interv iewed separately, and they still say, through their attorney, that they are willing to do separate interviews, but with lawyer present.

If you are innocent, and LE are making it clear that they suspect you, I don't think you'd find it whiny or unreasonable to have an attorney with you the next time you answer questions from them.

I don't think LE is opposed to them having an attorney. It happens all the time. Legal right, etc. They even advise you that you've got the right to have one if they ever arrest you. They have already had an attorney with them in an interview.
If that's the only hold-up there should be no problem whatsoever to schedule another interview. Today is not too soon.

I'll wait to hear that they've done so. If it doesn't happen it's just spin.
MOO.

If LE isn't opposed to them having an attorney and DB and JI aren't opposed to separate interviews then why hasn't anything been done. They are at a stalemate. I think at this point LE should take the interviews as they can get them and move on. Too much time being wasted for egos.

But exactly what does unrestricted mean? Unrestricted could mean without attorneys. But it could also mean that LE cannot be held to restrictions like whether or not the parents can be interviewed separately. Or llimits on the questions that can be asked of the parents.

For instance one of the restrictions that an attorney might make for a represented client, would be that LE cannot ask any question that is designed or implies any chance of guilt by the parents. (not an attorney so I can't do it in legalese) In this case, that would make any interview with the parents pretty much useless at this time.

I was taking this as unrestricted to mean, do not put rules on LE.. They can ask what they want and if they have to keep you there for 6 hours they can. But further investigation as shown that LE did want to question them without their atty. They wanted DB and JI to agree to this. Cant say I blame them and I guess it was worth a try but not gonna happen.
Here is the link to the story..

If they can't pay a cell phone bill, they have some serious money issues. Electricians make darn good money and it looks like JI could have inherited that home...payments may be very small, if any. It was said the home was his parents, at one time. If true, I wonder why they have any financial problems. They have two attorneys, one an international one and a local one. An anonymous donor is helping them with a reward and <snipped to quote>

BEM: Can you source any of that???

we won't find out about personal assistance. So there is money somewhere, somehow in that household/family.

Whether they are on personal assistance is NONE of our business, just as it was none of our business when everyone wondered, thread after thread, about CA and GA being on assistance. Where they get money, unless they're stealing it, is no one's business....IMO.

Good question, and I agree.

Just talk already, whatever you can get. I would think any little scrap of info is better than none at all.

But I suppose LE might have thought that their previous interviews have been less than useful if they refused to answer all the pertinent questions and that it isn't likely to change. If so they might not care to waste their time to have another useless interview only so that the attorneys can spin it as proof how cooperative they are.

Thank you! I keep seeing this repeated but there is absolutely nothing to even suggest that. He has a mortgage and has had since 2002.

I think it's just spin. They had legal representation with them last time and LE didn't seem to mind.

I think the mean old detectives were getting too close to the truth and the parents ran away. Simple as that.

On no you didn't just diss scrapple. :nono:

Sorry, off topic, but what the heck is scrapple?

How do we know LE didn't mind? Maybe this is why they are asking for "unrestricted" interview now. MO

You left out the part where it says that LE stated they won't do separate interviews, and that the parents and their attorney say they ARE willing to do the separate interviews, but with lawyer present. :twocents:

Apparently from what I have been reading, LE isnt opposed to them having their lawyer present but they asked and suggested they wanted to question them without their lawyer. Of course the answer is no, so they have no choice but to do it with the atty present. Hey you can ask.. I posted a link above to one of the stories but it is on every single news thing out there, literally if you google just the words "unrestricted police interview" it comes up with story after story about DB and JI. MSM sources as well.

 

[GEORGIAGIRL69]

If your baby disappeared in the middle of the night and you had nothing to do with her disappearance, would you not talk with LE in any manner necessary - with or without your attorneys? I don't see how refusing to meet separately is helping to find their child at all. It makes me feel like the parents are more concerned about their rights and how they perceive they are being treated than finding their daughter. MOO.
