The disappearance of 11 month-old Baby Lisa takes the cover of People this week. I?m assuming that Mariska Hargitay?s adorable babies might be front and center if there weren?t so much interest in this case. Mariska and her two new babies are on a side bar while the cover asks ?What Happened to Baby Lisa? A Mother Under Fire.?
Earlier this week it came out that Lisa?s mom, Debbie Bradley, had fudged the time line in which she originally claimed to have checked on Lisa. Bradley told police at first that she last saw the baby at 10:30 PM. She then revised her story to admit that she had put Lisa to bed at 6:40, got drunk with her best friend, a female neighbor, and then didn?t see Lisa again before she went missing. I understand why Bradley may have been reluctant to admit she was drunk, but why didn?t she own up to this two weeks ago when Lisa first disappeared? Adding to the suspicion surrounding this case, Bradley and her husband have refused to let police re-interview her 8 and 5 year-old boys, who were there the night that Lisa went missing. Curiously, Bradley says that the boys heard noises that night but ?I don?t know if that was before we went to sleep or after. I have not sat down and talked to them about it specifically to not to have to put them through anything else.? Are you kidding? If my baby went missing and my other kids heard something I would sit them down and ask them about it for a very long time.
The teaser story on People.com doesn?t reveal much we haven?t already heard. Bradley is quoted as saying ?We have absolutely nothing to hide. Let them search all they want, but do not take the focus off finding my daughter.? Police executed a search warrant of the home and surrounding property yesterday. It?s worth noting that Bradley and her fiance (although she is still married to her estranged husband), Jeremy Irwin, have voluntarily let police search the home prior to this more official search.
Meanwhile Bradley and Irwin now have a top defense attorney representing them. They hired Joe Tacopina, who represented convicted murderer Joran van der Sloot in his Aruba trial. It wasn?t a great decision considering that it makes them look like they have something to hide. Maybe Tacopina offered his services free of charge, though, and they didn?t know who they were dealing with. They don?t seem like the savviest of people. As for why Bradley changed her story to admit that she was drinking that night, Tacopina says ?She was willing to tell the truth about it, even if it didn?t make her look great. I think that goes to her credit. It?s her being truthful.? It took her long enough to be ?truthful,? and in the mean time investigators may have missed key details about what happened to her baby. I?m hoping that Bradley and Irwin are totally innocent and that Baby Lisa is alive and well somewhere, but it?s not looking good.

I am sadden and angered by this at the same time. These people are sick.

They had a lot on this locally yesterday; They even blocked off the airspace while they dug up the backyard- Not sure if they found anything, but after watching the long interview by that FOX chick, I REALLY think this mother is all kinds of involved. After two weeks, (TWO WEEKS!) she?s decided to ?tell the truth? about what really went on. Please. Protecting her own reputation about her drinking vs. giving the police ALL the information?
They have never said WHO, if anyone saw that baby all day- I think she either sold it, or something happened far earlier than they?re claiming and the whole wine/lights/cellphone thing is a cover up. And lets all not forget that old Joe Tacopino was insistant that his client Joran Vandersloot was innocent too!

My thinking is if she/they had nothing to do with it, they would have told the police EVERYTHING right off the bat, no matter how embarrassing or stupid, and you absolutely would ask the other kids and let the police ask too. I would imagine if your child were really abducted, there?s nothing you wouldn?t do to get them back, regardless of how it makes you look or if it upsets your other kids some.

I don?t know what to think about this case.
On one hand, I think about Susan Smith, who lied to the cops, her family and community about what she did to her sons; then, there?s the case of Riley Fox, whose father was harassed so badly by the cops that he confessed to her rape and murder, when it turned out that some sex predator broke into the house and took the sleeping 3 year old and raped and murdered her.

I?m not liking these parents right now. I would move Heaven and earth, sing like a canary, and do A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G. to find my missing child.

She is not believeable and has hampered the investigation.

Did this happen after Casey Johnson got acquitted? Maybe this is a copycat.

I would encourage all of you to wander on over to http://blog.eyesforlies.com for in depth discussion between posters & the author, who is a deception detector. Really fascinating.
There a tons of clues to deception from these parents, particularly the mom.
Really horrible situation.
Lin234- I do think this is possible.

She took forever to get in front of the camera?s to ask for her baby?s return?I think around 48 hrs?I hate to rush to judgement?but that doesn?t sound like an innocent Mother to me..

Perhaps that first talk with the police was extremely upsetting to the older two children. I wouldn?t put it past the police to try and coerce a statement from the children that would implement the parents, but not necessarily be the truth.
It wouldn?t be the first time the cops bullied a false statement out of a person, even a child, to steer the case in the direction they want, even if it isn?t the right one.I don?t blame the parents for getting a lawyer. To me, it doesn?t instantly mean they have anything to hide or are guilty, but something society (sadly) needs to do right away, (now a?days), to protect themselves from police corruption.
I would only allow my children to be interviewed with a lawyer present, for their behalf, to safe guard them during the questioning.
I?m not going to assume innocence or guilt on these people. Hopefully the baby is found safe.

The mother is disgusting and is as guilty as sin.

Do you mean Casey Anthony? I don?t really see the analogy. She waited months to report her child missing.
