Orlando, Fla. (AP) -- An attorney for a former astronaut wanted to set the record straight Friday: Lisa Nowak didn't wear diapers during the 950-mile road trip to confront a romantic rival.
"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," Donald Lykkebak said after filing motions to suppress evidence in Nowak's criminal case. "That is an absolute fabrication."
The tidbit that Nowak wore diapers during her trip was written in the police report filed after Nowak's arrest in February. The diaper detail became fodder for late-night TV comics and talk radio and even inspired an episode of the NBC show "Law & Order."
There were toddler-size diapers in her car when she was arrested, but they were several years old, Lykkebak said. Nowak and her family had used them when Houston was evacuated in 2005 during Hurricane Rita, he said.
Lykkebak didn't say why he waited until now to dispute the police report.
An Orlando police spokeswoman, Sgt. Barb Jones, said she couldn't comment about the case specifically. She said a court would determine the accuracy of the facts.

Just like Cracker Jack, there is no "s" at the end of Depend; but when did that get in the way of a story at its "heighth?"

Who cares about the diaper. It’s her intent that’s at the question and the weapons she carried.

Oh, okay—she WASN’T wearing a diaper, so therefore that eliminates her from being a psycho? Sorry, that was just one piece of a bigger loony picture.

I thought they found one of them at one of the places she stopped (like a McDonalds or something).

Maybe the Russian space program.
Russians don't use diapers, at least for the launch and return flights.
Don't know about 12 hour EVAs.

Whether the maniac astronaut wore a diaper or not is irrelevant.
She's still deranged.
