According to KCTV, the high-power representative of Lisa’s parents Joseph Tacopina said in a statement Tuesday that the focus of the case needed to “shift back on the investigation and hopeful recovery of Lisa, both alive and well.”
In an interview with the Kansas Star last week Picerno told the paper that he is generally opposed to having clients speak directly with police.
Picerno said that he tells his clients, ‘The prisons are full of people who talked to the police.“
The 10-month-old baby Lisa has captured national headlines since she was discovered missing from her Kansas City home in the early hours of Oct. 4.
Lisa’s mother, Deborah Bradley, claims to have put the youngster in her crib at 6:40 p.m. local time the night she went missing.
Lisa's father, Jeremy Irwin, was working a rare evening shift the night that his baby went missing and came home at 3:45 a.m. to find an open widow and lights on in the house.
Irwin immediately searched the family bedrooms to find baby Lisa gone from her crib.
Bradley claims that she went to bed around 10:30 p.m. with her two sons and has admitted to being heavily intoxicated following drinking anywhere from five to ten glasses of wine the evening the 10-month old went missing.
Bradley has said that she did not leave the front door unlocked or the lights on in the house. The family denies any involvement in the case.
Police have said despite following more than 1,000 leads, they have no idea where the baby is.
A $100,000 reward is being offered by an anonymous donor for the safe return of the child or for information that will led to her safely returning home.
