A mother of a 10-month-old admits to reporters that she had been drinking the night of her child’s disappearance. Deborah Bradley, mother of infant Lisa Irwin, has been on a search to find her daughter. When the story first published, Bradley told Authority of Kansas City, Missouri that her child was last seen at 10:30 p.m. Later, she changes the time to 6:40 p.m., however, she’s unsure as to what exactly happened because she also admits to reporters to “drinking enough to be drunk”.
Investigators have now reviewed surveillance tapes from the day of the child abduction and it shows Bradley buying a box of wine. Bradley expresses her concerns to reporters stating, “The main fear is that if they arrest me, people are going to stop looking, and I’ll never see her again, and I’ll never know what happened.”
In regards to Bradley’s concerns, on Monday, a well-known Attorney Joe Tacopina has announced that he was now representing the family. He said, “In my mind, there is no question they had nothing to do with the disappearance of their little girl, I’m optimistic and confident at the end of the day the truth will come out and speculation will be put to rest.”
In addition to Tacopina representing the family, the Missouri National Guard has also joined the search. It has been released that an anonymous person has offered a $100,000 reward for information in the case. As of today, no suspects have been named.
