BBE. Ok, I'm playing devil's advocate a bit now with my post. They *should*, according to you and those that think like you. Let us assume that the DiPietro's are innocent, as hard as that may be for the majority to assume. Now let us assume that LE thinks they are guilty of something, which appears to be the case. For the DiPietro's and CR to come out talking to the media or to open questions by LE, puts them in a position where everything they say can get twisted or misinterpreted and could eventually end up with them getting arrested and even found guilty and sent to jail. Now...most of you will say something like "well, if it was my child that was missing, I wouldn't care about myself or going to jail. I would just do everything I could and talk to everyone in hopes to find her". Well, not everyone thinks like that. If these people are innocent, why risk going to jail when nothing they can say or do can help get Ayla back? This same opinion applies to the Bradley case and probably others that I don't follow as well.
Maybe I've watched too many true life interrogations on TV to know just how brutal LE can be. If an innocent person has been subjected to that, I can see why they would not want to endure it again.
But it comes down to avoidance behavior. People avoid what they fear. It's actually very insightful to what people may be thinking. What is the bigger fear?
In cases like this one and in Lisa Irwin's, what do people fear more? Going to jail, or never knowing what happened to their child? A good example of that is the Dirk Schiller case. His mother went to prison in East Germany for years, because the fear of not knowing what happened to her child was greater than going to prison. It's a matter of priority.
In this case, it's apparent that Trista's fear of not knowing where or what happened to Ayla out weighs her fear of ending up in prison. If she is innocent of any wrong doing, then her fear of going to prison is most likely small, and really not knowing where Ayla is is most likely huge. . .actually probably all consuming.
From Justin's behavior it would seem that his fear of going to prison is greater than his fear of not knowing what happened to Ayla. It's easy to follow the logic. If he knows what happened to Ayla and he was responsible in some way, then it would be logical that he would fear getting caught and going to prison. It would also be logical that his fear of not knowing what happened to Ayla would be non-existent because he would already KNOW what happened to Ayla. :doh:
I think it is why so many people say things like, "If my child disappeared, I would. . ." Because people can imagine how horrible the anxiety and fear of not knowing where or what is happening to your child would be. That fear would be so traumatic and all consuming that everything else would pale in comparison, including being falsely accused, arrested, tried and sent to prison.
MOO
