Lisa Irwin Missing: Hotspots

Many of you have likely seen the story of missing baby Lisa Irwin from Missouri. She is 10-months old.  The story being told to the press is that her father, Jeremy, discovered her missing from her bed at 4:00 a.m. this past Tuesday in the early morning after he came home from his work shift. He woke up his wife and they called police. At some point, they discovered an open window that was tampered with.

The couple claims that whoever abducted their daughter also stole three cell phones from the house from the kitchen counter.  I find this perplexing.  If the father goes to work, doesn’t he carry his cell phone with him?  Or does he leave it home?  I would be curious why he wouldn’t  have it with him at work.  Is there a logical reason for it?

In watching this video, the mother, Deborah, is displaying true sadness, which can support the truth or deception–so it has no other meaning than to tell us she is truly sad.  The father, however, shows no sadness, no oblique eyebrows–no emotions whatsoever.  He is stoic. It’s notable.

In the very beginning of the interview Jeremy says, “…obviously all very unusual and I started checking on the kids.  Checked on the boys first, and then we checked on her and that’s when we realized she was gone.”

If you notice Jeremy goes from “I” to “we”.  His word usage is suggesting that when he was with his wife that is when “they” discovered Lisa was gone, but I thought he discovered it first.  Which is it?

I am also flagged by Deborah when she says about the missing cell phones, “They were on the counter in the kitchen and there’s ah…whenever I was….we woke up…and I woke up and he came home and I was..he said she is not in her crib and I said what do you mean she’s not in her crib?  And I just knew, you know….something was really wrong and we run around the house and we were screaming for her and she nowhere and then I said call 911, call 911 and he said where are the phones? And they weren’t on the counter where I left them.  They were gone.”

Why is Deborah having trouble talking and keeping her story straight about waking up?  Why does she have all these false starts and self-censoring?

Both of them seem to be having trouble sticking to their story that he came home and found Lisa missing and he, Jeremy, woke Deborah up.  Why is that if they are telling us the truth?
