Search for Lisa case on America's Most Wanted Dec. 2

[eileenhawkeye]

I think that if you're watching AMW, you probably already know about this case. It's a true crime show, and this is one of the biggest crime stories at the moment. I think it would be more beneficial if a regular media outlet that has given the case little to no attention featured the case. Has the New York Times written an article about it? Here are some shows that haven't given the case that much (if any) attention:

The Today Show
The Early Show
CBS Evening News
CBS News Sunday Morning
NBC Nightly News
Dateline NBC
Andrea Mitchell Reports
Countdown with Keith Olbermann
Hardball with Chris Matthews
Morning Joe
The Rachel Maddow Show
Glenn Beck
Hannity
The Lineup
On the Record w/ Greta Van Susteren
The O'Reilly Factor
Studio B with Shepard Smith
American Morning
Anderson Cooper 360
Erin Burnett OutFront
John King, USA
Rick's List
The Situation Room

DB and JI have an exclusive contract with ABC, IIRC. Fox News Megan Kelly and Shep Smith have done several stories about Lisa.

Link to the exclusive contract?

you won't get a link, because it doesn't exist so far. i'm not even sure where that rumor came from, because the parents and the lawyers have both been on multiple networks. :waitasec:

AMW isn't really about missing persons, per se, so much as about criminals on the run...that is their usual target. So I guess just posting the info, however briefly, is really all they are going to do, unless there is a suspect and the suspect is on the run...JMO

 

[josie1986]

Baby Lisa and Baby Sky's segment lasted like 1 minute...combined.

Wow I thought it woulda lasted a lot longer.
I know that amw isn't really about missing people but 1minute? Jeez.

I'd really like to know john walshs take on this case,he's lived through this situation so has first hand knowledge.was it not like 10+years he searched for Adams killer?

I have so much respect for this guy,seems like an all round nice guy.

They start talking about this case at about 3:46.

An excerpt:

If you have nothing to do with the disappearance of your child, you're at that police station everyday saying, "What can I do to get this baby back?"

I watched the rumor begin, LOL. It came from a series of "gut feelings" and assumptions.

Ashley Irwin said that the family was no longer going to talk to local reporters (who had, according to locals, been incredibly obnoxious and misleading in their coverage.) Over the weekend, DB and JI did three national interviews.

In at least two of them, (GMA and MK on Fox) the interviewer advertised the interviews as "exclusive". They were exclusive, in the sense that in each interview, the parents were speaking only with that reporter, not to a bunch of reporters. But they were NOT exclusive as in the parents were only talking to that particular network (which is what you would expect if they were being paid.)

Some people, remembering that someone sold rights to interviews in the Casey Anthony case decided that "exclusive" meant "paid, and exclusive ACCESS to the parents". And then, they repeated it so often, that it became a "fact" to some people.

There has NEVER been anything to even slightly suggest that this is true, and looking at it logically, all evidence points to it being completely UNtrue. But for some, it is still a "fact".

Other than the interviews DB/JI gave at the beginning of the case, have they and/or their lawyers given interviews to any network besides ABC? I haven't seen any, but of course that doesn't mean there haven't been any.

which network did Jeremy and Debbie allow into therir home to watch the boys get ready to trick or treat and then also allowed that network to follow those poor boys as they trick or treated?
I thought that was rather odd at the time, now I find it a bvit sickening in light of their wish for life to be back to normal.

 

[Marshmallow]

as for last night's AMW, I imagine without family cooperation the show was hesitant to do too much.

They have. I think that Tacopina has a good historical working relationship with GMA, so he probably prefers that network, but I know that Picerno has been on others - Fox for sure.

The parents have not given any interviews since it became obvious that they were being publicly excoriated.

Keep in mind that lawyers do NOT want their clients on TV in any case, but in this one, they probably have the parents stapled to the wall to keep them from talking. So long as Lisa is still in the news, there is no need for the parents to do interviews, and the lawyers will be able to keep Lisa's name out there for a while.

I suspect that we may see some very limited interviews with the family as soon as the coverage begins to slow down to keep Lisa out there as long as possible.

And it's the only network on which I've seen JT give interviews ( other than at the very beginning). Like I said in my post above, there may have been other interviews with other networks, but I haven't seen them.

Unfortunately, the coverage has slowed down quite a bit. We don't even have daily MSM threads anymore because there is little to no coverage. The impact of having lawyers speak vs. the parents is that people are going to wonder why the parents aren't speaking. It is going to be assumed that they have something to hide. JMO

it is odd but my assumption that they have something to hide is their actions and words towards the LE. This isn't a car break in. This is (allegedly) a home invasion with a stolen child. How is that not important enough to want to help locate their daughter? They let tv cameras in to trail those poor boys but can't waste any effort to do anything with LE? N wonder people are confused and a bit angry with them,Jeremy and Debbie seems to have their priorities skewed. This is their little girl that is missing.

disappointing, I was hoping for new,substantiated information. Thanks for those that posted a recap of the show.

It has slowed down a lot, except for a few statements by the attorneys to answer questions or speak about a development, not the same as an interview.

I think we will see an interview with the parents, not to keep Lisa's name out there, but everything to do with JT's method of payment. Keeping them laying low now only increases public interest, therefore their price goes up. I will gladly admit I was wrong if that doesn't happen, but I think it will.

Since there is hardly any news now, the parents would want to be out now doing whatever they could keep bringing attention to their baby to keep her name out there. Their own words and actions say otherwise.

JMHO

I know. But we have to remember that the lawyers are running the show. they KNOW that public sentiment does not mean squat. The whole world can think the worst of the parents, and it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things.

My guess is that their strategy is to milk as much coverage as possible for the baby, while keeping the parents covered as much as possible. That's why they haven't come out with much. They will dole it out slowly to keep things out there.

If the parents were lying low, but the case was still getting massive coverage, I would agree with you, but that's not the case. The coverage has been less and less, so by this time next year, Lisa's case might be a missing child case that was hot for a brief period of time. There might still be interest in an interview with the parents a year from now, but it wouldn't surprise me if an interview with them is worth more now, when the case is hot, than a year from now, when the case isn't big anymore.

Unless the case is kept in the media, public interest and public awareness is just going to decrease as the months and years go on.

That was my thought as well. John Walsh has no patience for that. I remembered his criticism of Scott Peterson. I think he has a good nose for odd behavior in missing persons cases.
