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.

Well, maybe not.
Tell me it ain’t so.
Lawyer: Ex-Astronaut Didn’t Wear Diaper, but she’s still nuts.
I guess it all “Depends” on your definition of diaper.
Wow! Separated by five seconds. Great minds I guess!
One day, shortly after the birth of their new baby, the mother had to go out to run some errands.
The proud papa stayed home to watch his wonderful new son. Soon after the mother left, the baby started to cry.
The father did everything he could think of doing, but the baby wouldn’t stop crying.
Finally, the dad got so worried that he decided to take the infant to the doctor.
After the doctor listened to the father relate all that he had done to get the baby to stop crying, the doctor began to examine the baby’s ears, chest and then down to the diaper area.
When he undid the diaper, he found that the diaper was indeed full.
“Here’s the problem”, the Dr. said, “He needs to be changed!”
The father was very perplexed, “But the diaper package says it is good for up to 10 lbs.!”
Yeah, that definitely makes her appear less crazy.

Oh...that makes this story better....(sarcasm)
So she wet the seat.... That’s even worse.
Well of course not! She wore depends!
Right after... I mail your check...
Hey, Donald Lykkebak, do you think we really care?
Most of us don’t. Really.
She didn’t need diapers, she has wings.
“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.”
Thanks for clearing that up. The weapons, the bizarre love triangle, the driving like a woman possessed - standard operating procedure! He will NOT have his client made to look like a loon with this preposterous diaper story!
I guess they wanted to wait until the issue had dried out.
