Orlando Detective William Becton was the first to discover the diapers when he opened a trash bag inside Lisa Nowak's car and found two used diapers. In his charging affidavit he wrote, "… I then asked Mrs. Nowak why she had the baby diapers. Mrs. Nowak said that she did not want to stop and use the restroom, so, she used the diapers to collect her urine."Detective Becton secured plenty of evidence from the car, but did not photograph or collect the two used diapers from the back seat of Nowak's car, or the "twenty to thirty unused diapers" that he found in the trunk. This omission allowed some wiggle room for Nowak's lawyer.
It took four months, but on June 29, 2007, Nowak's criminal attorney, Donald Lykkebak, told members of the press that the diaper story was inaccurate.
''The biggest lie in this preposterous tale that has been told is that my client drove from Houston, Texas, to Orlando, Florida, nonstop, wearing a diaper. That is an absolute fabrication. There were toddler-size diapers in her car when she was arrested, but they were several years old," Lykkebak said.
