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.
