KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Deborah Bradley now admits that she often gets drunk -- but only after her children are in bed. And she tells Fox news that she got drunk on boxed wine and may have blacked out on the night that she says her 10-month-old daughter disappeared from her Kansas City home two weeks ago.
Bradley told NBC's "Today" show that she thinks she'll be arrested in the disappearance of Lisa Irwin. But she insists she did nothing to harm the girl.
When she was asked how she would respond to those who criticized
her heavy drinking while caring for her children, Bradley became defiant. She said, "I don't see the problem in me having my grown
up time." She said, "I take good care of my kids" -- and added,
"There's nothing wrong with doing what I want to do after dark."
Not long after the interviews aired, police and FBI agents launched a new round of searches for the missing baby. They brought tracking dogs into the family's home and drained a nearby creek.
The FBI says the missing girl's parents consented to the search. Dogs were also used to search a next-door neighbors' house.

Pshh. If I had a dollar for every time I lost a child whilst drunk...
This piece of WT will be in cuffs before the end of the week.
I saw a photo of the mother and father together. The father was obviously upset and concerned. The mother was obviously laughing. Little Lisa is the one I pray for, but I think she is gone. I pray she is not for her father, but would rather she be in God's arms than the jovial mother. Getting drunk with a child (infant) is not a parental option.
