He seems rather withdrawn, but every time she says something she looks over at him as if seeking his approval, or fearful of what his reaction might be to what she says, trying to read the subtle cues on his face that people who know each other well are able to see in each other.

I have noticed the way she looks at him during the interviews. Now that the news came out that she was drunk the night Lisa went missing, that could explain some of that tension between the two of them. If DB is in the downward spiral of alcoholism, she could be fearful that he is going to leave her because of her drinking. If she was drunk the night Lisa disappeared, she is probably feeling guilty because she was drunk, not because she had anything to do with the actual disappearance.
I just don't get the feeling that mom was involved, and I am not sure about dad. We could be viewing the interaction between a deeply co-dependent couple. Maybe mom will now enter rehab?
