Unfortunately, I bet a lot of people are under the assumption that every time they talk about it, they relive the trauma, so they should be allowed to get over it by not having the subject brought up.
I'm one with that assumption. My assumption is based on research. However, an infant child is missing. If it is necessary to subject oneself or one's child to trauma in such a situation, than it is a necessary evil, IMO.
Megyn Kelly's interview was by far the best out of the three I've seen.
I wanted to hear DB say, "I drank alot. Damn! I wish so bad I hadn't! I was irresponsible!" Nope, instead she downplays her responsibility in the disappearance of her daughter. I'm further convinced that she killed Lisa, accidentally, by passing out on top of her (LKB even theorized this on Joy Behar).
I really think she was drunk, and a horrible, horrible accident occurred. I only buy the accident theory because she was drunk. I know, some of you think this is what the defense will want us to believe, but the fact that she's seen buying wine, and her husband wasn't home that night, tells me she had a night to herself and she let loose. Now, if she will only admit it.
I'm not sure how the accident theory is so popular. Like the ME in Caylee's case said, parents don't make an accident look like a kidnapping. I think that if it was not an abduction, one of the parents abused Lisa and she died as a result, or intentionally killed her.
sick kid and mom wants to "let loose" sounds like benedryl or nyquil time to me.
Maybe overdosing.
Overdoses of children from cold medications have plummeted since 2007 when stringent new laws regarding such medications were implemented. I imagine it would be hard to overdose a kid on the medication available at this time. I also imagine that a parent finding their child dead in the crib would not immediately conclude it was from an overdose. Finally, I imagine that a parent finding their child dead from an overdose or accident would do everything to revive the child, including calling 911, or running screaming down the street for help, because one's instinct is not to say, "Oh darn, she's dead. Let's hide the body so we don't get in trouble." One's instinct is to refuse to accept such a death and to believe in the possibility of saving the child. Even in the face of a cold and blue, little body, stiff with rigor mortis.
Not to me, not more than the one time. I do not for one moment trust anyone affiliated with LE to question my 5 year old. That said, I would take him to a child psychologist who could work with him and pass on every single scrap of information he remembered to LE.
The fact that DB won't allow the boys to talk with anyone at all, not even her, is what set off my alarms.
Again, that's just me. I respect others feel differently.
That's fair.
Note that this is an old article. The real killer of Riley Fox was eventually found and he confessed after his DNA was matched with that found in Riley's body.
Thanks. I fail to see any similarities to Lisa's case. In Riley's case, it was a smaller community, the interrogations were problematic, including the son's initial interview and the father's confession was coerced. I don't see any of that in Lisa's case.

Well, we don't know what went on in questioning involving Lisa's brothers. I think it is hard to say you don't see any similarities when we have no idea what happened when those boys were questioned.
But here's a solution to those wanting to avoid the horrible, forceful questioning that happened to Riley Fox's brother, or any other nefarious tricks on the part of LE. Go with the child to the interview and sit behind the glass, with access to live-time audio of the interview. If they don't allow that, then don't allow the interview.
