Jeremy Irwin

/in /by

Jeremy Irwin, the father of missing 10-month old baby Lisa, has caught the attention of many people because he is emotional void. He is nearly expressionless, which is highly unusual in a situation like this. He doesn’t answer questions until after Deborah answers them. He is what most people would call timid and reserved–a clear introvert.

His lack of emotions, while startling and concerning, don’t give us much information, however. There is a high likelihood Jeremy is not an emotionally expressive person in every day normal life, either. Without knowing more about him, we can’t say how much he his demeanor has changed.  It is the change that would be noteworthy.

I believe Jeremy knows more than he is telling us, without question, but I can’t make any other determinations from his behavior at this point.

Jeremy has expressed several emotions.  In the photo above, he is clearly showing distress, and very subtle sadness.  He also communicates a sense of resignation, too.  I think whatever happened, Jeremy doesn’t know what to do, and he is taking the lead from Deborah. That is about all I can say about Jeremy at this point and time.

Update:  When I watch Jeremy in this interview, I get a strong sense he is totally infatuated with Deborah and all he wants is to be with her, and he will do everything in his power to stay with her no matter what.  He seems rather spellbound by her, and his desire for her affection may be his motivating factor here.  Jeremy may not have had a lot of luck with women and Deborah may have captivated him like no one else ever has before, and he is desperate to hang on to that.

Friend: Deborah Bradley an “Attention Hound”

/in /by

Two of Deborah Bradley’s former friends spoke out on the news and talked about her.  One of her friends, Shirley Pfaff, says Bradley was an “attention hound” and did drink.  This attention seeking behavior is concerning when we think of all the other traits we have seen in Deborah lately…

Thanks, Karon, for the link.

Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin

/in /by

The parents of little baby Lisa Irwin spoke at length with Fox News yesterday and while I’ve only found a small portion of the interview this morning, I find it very revealing.  As many of you know, they are now being represented by Joe Tacapino, the same man who represented Joran van der Sloot.

When I watch the interview above, I am most frustrated by Fox News.  Why would they display images of baby Lisa when the parents answer the most important questions of all!   I could just scream.  Watching them here could have possibly revealed key information. So at the most important time, I only have audio to go on, but it still reveals important information.

The first question is did you kill little Lisa?  Deborah answers the question with a no.  It’s not an emphatic no, which is notable.

When Deborah is asked if her baby is alive, I here a desperation in her voice — a desire to grab onto that answer, which stuns me.  An honest mom who truly believes her baby was abducted would not have this confidence. It’s the confidence that stands out here, and distinguishes her answer from a woman whose doesn’t know for sure what happened to her baby.  It supports, again, that Deborah likely does know.

Deborah is then asked if she hurt her baby.  Listen to the volume of her speech as she and Jeremy both answer this question.  It falls off notably, which is a big red flag. Why is she not emphatic about this answer?  Why is she showing a lack of commitment to this answer in her voice?

The reporter then says, “Would you ever hurt your baby?”  Lisa then answers confidentially.  This is a question about future activities, and it would make sense that her speech would change here–because she is projecting about what she would do.

When Deborah is asked if she sold her baby and she says no, I do believe her.  We see the most emphatic answer at this point compared to all the other questions she answers.  I would expect to see this on all answers — most notably about killing or hurting her baby, but we don’t see it then, which again makes it all the most notable.

It is precisely where she is asked did you hurt your baby that I get the biggest clue indicating possible deception.

I find it odd how Deborah laughs when she talks about why the police are saying she and Jeremy are not talking.  Speculating, she says, “…because we won’t let them interview our children, maybe…”  Why would that be funny?   Is she getting some joy because she feels a measure of control here?  Why would she want to control anything if it meant withholding information that could be helpful in finding Lisa?  

Deborah also says, “My kids would know nothing.”  This is a huge red flag.  If your baby was abducted sometime after you went to bed, could your children have heard something important?  You bet they could have!  They could have heard noises, maybe even seen something, but Deborah is truly confident they know nothing.  Well how could that be unless she knows what happened to baby Lisa?!!  This flat out does not fit with her story.

I also was troubled with how she now is saying that she was drunk that night, and could have passed out.  What stands out at this point is that Deborah has no remorse, if she is honest and her child was truly abducted, that her actions could have resulted in something happened to her daughter because she was incoherent.  Her lack of guilt over her irresponsible behavior is flat out chilling.  She either didn’t drink that night and it is an excuse, or she did drink and has no emotions for anyone (which supports psychopathic tendencies) — neither of which look good for her child. 

Furthermore, Jeremy should be devastated that the mother of his baby was so irresponsible, if he believes she drank that night and he is uninvolved.  His emotions in that regard are missing here too, which is a red flag. If he was innocent and uninvolved, I would expect him to mad and upset with Deborah, but he is not, which is highly indicative he knows exactly what happened.  He is standing by Deborah through thick and thin.  Granted Jeremy is not an emotional guy, but we would at least see him apart from Deborah if he was angry, which we do not.  Instead we see him holding her hand!

Sadly, this will not be a good outcome for baby Lisa.  I just hope they find her soon and hold the people who did this to her accountable.

Amber Kirwan: Missing

/in /by

Amber Kirwan went out with her friends in Novia Scotia to a pool hall and was last seen in the early morning hours on Sunday.  She parted from her friends saying she was going to a convenient store where her boyfriend was going to pick her up.

Amber’s boyfriend, Mason Campbell, said when he arrived at the convenience store, Amber was no where to be seen.  You can watch him talk in this video.

Mason says, “The second I got there, and she wasn’t, it was completely out of character right there and then.”

So, I wonder, did he start searching for her?  Did he call her friends and family?

Here is a second video.

I have to say its odd that Mason talks about his “common relationship” with Amber. He says, “She gets upset if there is something else I have to do…” and focuses on the negative of their relationship right away when she is missing. Most people when a loved one disappears grasp on fondly to the specialness of their relationship.  Why isn’t Mason?

Did he say to Amber when she called that he had something else he had to do that night, and she got upset?  Did they have a fight? Did he show up way late or not at all?  I can’t help but wonder…

Mason continues, “I should have been there. I should have waited longer around there. I should have tried harder to skim up and down that road.”

I have to say this baffles me.  Why does he say he should have been there?  I thought he was there.  Or is he talking about the pool hall–that he should have been there instead of the convenient store?   He also says he should have waited longer.    Yet in the interview above, Mason tells us he knew it was flat out of character for Amber not to be there.  If he didn’t start calling around and raising alarms that night, that would be a huge red flag for me.  Did he go looking for her that night or not?

Mason says, “I wasn’t preparing myself for a situation like this, you know?”

This is a definite red flag.  Who prepares for a situation like this?  No one can prepare for something like this…but if something happens, such as a fight and things go wrong — one might say this.

Mason isn’t making a lot of sense at this point.

He then speculates about what happened to her.  Speculation is quite unusual, too, but his speculations are not out of reason.  They are just odd.

I see some strange behavior which flag me and one solid red flag, but these are not enough for me to reach any conclusions at this point.  I am curious to see more.

If anyone sees other interviews, please let me know.
