as i expected (see post 706)Joe Tacopina told The Associated Press that Short's
comments Monday are a distraction from the search for the baby.
Tacopina says he asked Short to be his local counsel, but the
family later decided they didn't want her to be involved.
The family also issued a statement Monday saying Short's news
conference convinced them they were correct in their decision.

Statement from baby Lisa's parents: After hearing there was a press conference and listening to Mrs. Short's statement we are further convinced that we made the correct decision. One of the reasons we relieved Mrs. Short was because she was holding her own press conferences, making statements to the media, and giving tours of the home that we were finding out about after the fact. Moreover, we learned the FBI felt Mrs. Short wasn't being productive in the relationship between the family and the agency.
We want the focus to remain where it should always have been which is on the search for Lisa. Mr Tacopina has secured very prestigious local lawyers to join the team representing the family.
We will not be answering any further question at this time regarding Mrs. Short.
