Police say parents are not answering vital questions

[jjenny]

I think if they had physical evidence such as baby's blood they could make an arrest without the body. So I don't believe they do have physical evidence at this point.

I'm really struggling to understand how mom can say they are talking to LE and LE says they aren't. Someone is flat out lying.
Or could LE be using it as a technique to put public pressure on the parents?

Early in the case mom told the media that she took a LD test and failed,but LE told dad that he didn't need to take one.If that's even close to the truth I could see how it would be an effective technique .If dad wasn't involved ,but mom was,dad will now be more suspicious.Maybe telling what he knows will save him.

If both are involved ,eventually mom will get ticked off that she has been singled out while dad's the good guy creating tension to build between them.

My thoughts exactly MissJames! ^^^^^

I just do not think LE would announce to the world that the parents are not answering vital questions if it were not true, what do they have to gain lying about it ?
I'm under the impression that is would be mom playing hard a**, I just don't see that coming from dad.

Take the kids with you, take your lawyer and get to the station please .......... Lisa is out there somewhere !

 

[MissJames]

Wouldn't you also be asking the only other people supposedly in the house that night, the boys? And letting LE ask the boys what they saw/heard?

Elizabeth Smart's sister saw the man that took Elizabeth.She eventually remembered where she had seen him before and he was identified.

Elizabeth Smart's sister saw the man that took Elizabeth.She eventually remembered where she had seen him before and he was identified.

She actually never got a look at his face and recognized him by voice (eventually). Which is even more amazing, since she was only 9. If it was not for her, Elizabeth Smart could still be roaming the country as a "sister wife." Shudder.

 

[MissJames]

I'm just wondering out loud here.... if the burnt clothes were DB's (the ones she's seen wearing in the surveillance video), do you think that would that be enough to arrest her for something?

I feel like it would be, so I'm leaning towards the clothes not being DB's, but at the same time I guess someone else could own the same ones so LE might need more than that?

In my world ,it would be enough to arrest her,but I don't know if the DA would agree with me. With each case it seems like they need more concrete evidence ,like a video of the act :maddening:

I'm really struggling to understand how mom can say they are talking to LE and LE says they aren't. .

As I understand it, LE says the parents aren't answering certain specific questions, or maybe aren't answering them truthfully or completely.

So both LE and the parents are right, seen each from their own perspective.

The parents have very obviously been talking to LE, to a degree, and LE feels they aren't telling them everything, obviously.

:furious::furious:

I thought DB was guilty but this seals the deal for me. And what I see is when DB goes down I think JI will be too!

Sickening!

This was/is a 10 month baby girl. Does anyone care about her anymore? Seems like the public is but not the parents.

Listening to her now,she appears to be a very strong ,sweet young woman. Amazing family and symbol of hope for families of missing children.

This sounds all too familiar. There are definite similarities between missing children cases that end up involving the parents.

Gotcha! that makes more sense. I should know better than to believe the words MSM chooses . :banghead:

Not cooperating with with police is certainly not in the best interest of finding Baby Lisa! I believe the police's first priority is finding Lisa; the others may have conflicting agendas. I tend to believe the police on this one. Obviously, moo.

I think both sides are saying they're talking to the police - the police initially made it sound like they weren't talking, but they are. The most recent statement by LE appears to be along the lines that they are talking, but the parents aren't answering the questions LE wants answered. They're only helping to clarify tips that have come in and fill in some of the blanks there.

Maybe they don't know the answers, I would guess.

 

[JeannaT]

Yes innocent people would have no reason not to cooperate. If you're innocent the police are not a threat because to charge and prosecute there needs to be evidence - and if you're innocent there would be no evidence simple as that.

Innocent people have plenty of reason to stop cooperating. The Innocence project could certainly give you along list of innocent people imprisoned for decades. In some cases, LE acted in good faith and in some they didn't. And then there's that Nifong guy we all have to fear and his type.

It's just simply not true that if you're innocent you have no reason to fear an investigation by LE.

Police say the last "unrestricted conversation" police had with Lisa Irwin's parents was Oct. 6. After that, Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin sought legal counsel from a local lawyer.

That was before their latest attorney, New York defender Joe Tacopina, was hired by an anonymous benefactor and introduced to the public on Monday.

"unrestricted conversation"


Ah, so maybe they were already talking with JT and the female attorney and told what not to answer before the announcement the other day!

But don't you put aside those fears and do everything possible to FIND YOUR CHILD?

MOO ...

I believe LE here ... the parents have NOT cooperated with LE because DB and JI know what really happened to Baby Lisa ...

And now that the parents have retained an attorney ... I do NOT see the parents cooperating with LE in the future either ...

MOO ...

Not arguing with you, and agree that they should cooperate, BUT... there could be another point of view here. Suppose when LE says the parents are not cooperating, what they actually mean is, the parents are not confessing to anything to do with Lisa's disappearance. I could be wrong, but it's something to think about. I know cops, I know how they can be and I know that sometimes they get very aggressive when they have their minds set. And if they were in my face, yelling at me, telling me it's only a matter of time before I go to jail.... I think I might balk at sitting down with them, too. Not being cooperative could mean they aren't telling the truth.. or what the cops want to hear.

I can see where everybody is coming from here, I really can, and it does look bad on the parents' part. But there is always another side to everything.
I have a feeling that Joe T. volunteered his services, I don't believe the parents sought him out, but it's possible. Maybe this benefactor made the initial contact, doesn't matter, but Joe T. is very good at what he does. I don't like him myself, but that doesn't change the facts.

He's right about one thing... putting the baby down at 6:40 and thinking you checked on her at 10:30 but not quite remembering because you were drinking... that's not an inconsistency. At least she's being honest, a lot of people would say they knew when they checked on her even if they didn't remember.

I'm sorry but... they cannot say they are doing everything in their power to find their daughter if they are not cooperating with LE. That is very telling. JMO.
