MO LISA IRWIN: Missing from Kansas City, MO - 3 Oct 2011 - Age 10 months

Lisa was last seen at her home in the 3600 block of North Lister Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri on October 3, 2011. Her mother, Deborah Bradley, put her to bed in her crib with her pacifier, blanket and some toys.

Deborah last saw her daughter at either 6:40 or 10:30 p.m. (Accounts differ.) That evening, she was also caring for the Lisa's two older half-brothers, who were asleep in another room. She later admitted she'd been drinking wine that night and had gotten drunk. She was also taking prescription medication for anxiety.

Lisa's father, Jeremy Irwin, an electrician, came home from work at approximately 4:00 the next morning and they discovered Lisa was gone. Several lights in the house were on, Lisa's bedroom window was open, the front door was unlocked and three cellular phones were reportedly missing.

Lisa's parents called 911 to report her disappearance shortly at 4:00 a.m. An extensive search of the immediate area turned up no sign of the baby.

Authorities stated Lisa's mother and father were less than cooperative with the investigation, something Deborah and Jeremy denied. They were engaged to be married at the time of Lisa's disappearance, although Deborah was still legally married to another man, and had a six-year-old son by him.

Deborah and her husband had been separated for about four years by 2010, and he was serving in the Army. Her husband stated he didn't believe Deborah would have harmed Lisa or been involved in her disappearance.

Three different witnesses saw a man walking down the road about three miles from Lisa's home at approximately 4:00 a.m. that night, carrying a baby dressed only in a diaper. It's unclear whether the sightings are connected to Lisa's case.

Authorities haven't named any suspects in the child's disappearance. Her parents have stated they believe she was abducted from her home late on October 3 or early on October 4, possibly by a person who wanted to raise a baby. Lisa's case remains unsolved.

Baby Lisa case back in the nationwide spotlight, new documentary, new age progression photo

Baby Lisa Irwin went missing from her crib 10 years ago: ID examines the case

Baby Lisa Irwin vanished from her crib in her Kansas City home in 2011 and has never been seen since. The case seems to have no leads.

These links really didn't put any new information out there but I was hoping to find some new shred of evidence somewhere about where this little girl could be now. I watched a dateline episode recently about a woman that kidnapped when she was a child and she was raised by the woman that took her she didn't learn until after the woman's death that she had been kidnapped. She was reunited with her family and siblings she never knew she had I think it was something like 30 years she had been missing. So that does still give hope to cases like this one she might be out there somewhere living with people she thinks is her family.

i wish i had the feeling that she was still with us. I just don't.

Baby Lisa's parents still hopeful for her return 10 years later

Lisa Irwin disappeared 10 years ago. Her disappearance rocked Kansas City and captured the country’s attention. Days turned to weeks and months with no answers. Baby Lisa, as she became known, had vanished.

Baby Lisa's parents still hopeful for her return 10 years later​

Lisa Irwin disappeared 10 years ago. Her disappearance rocked Kansas City and captured the country’s attention. Days turned to weeks and months with no answers. Baby Lisa, as she became known, had vanished.

A decade later, her parents spoke with KSBH 41 News about their hope to have their daughter back someday and being under the microscope in her disappearance.


When asked after 10 years what they think happened to Lisa, Bradley said she thinks Lisa's disappearance was premeditated.

“I think that someone was paid to come into our home," Bradley said. "Our house was watched, and they waited for the perfect opportunity. Jeremy never really worked nights. I absolutely believe she was human trafficked.”


Bradley said comments about her used to bother her a lot, but as time has gone on, she has “developed a thick skin.”

“At this point, we just don’t care about the negative stuff," she said. "We know the truth, and there are people looking for her that know the truth and are trying to get her home, and we trust the police and we trust the FBI that eventually they’re going to get the tips and the information or put everything together that’s going to lead to bringing her home.”

A decade later, the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department said they have no suspects and they would not discuss details of the case because this is still an active missing person’s case and investigation.

“When she comes home, she knows that we never stopped including her. We never stopped waiting for her, and she’s always been a member of our family, no matter what,” Bradley said.

They hope the latest age progression photo helps.

“Anything could happen, and [if] she sees herself [and thinks], ‘Wait a minute, that girl looks like me,'” Bradley said. “... This picture of her looks just like my mom did when she was little. And I can see both of us, you know, in different facial features, and it’s, it’s a bittersweet thing because it’s a picture but it’s not the real her, and that’s what we wish we had.”


KCPD told KSHB 41 News while they would not discuss details of the case because this is an active investigation, they do welcome any new information or tips to the TIPS hotline. Tips can stay anonymous, just call 474-TIPS.

America's Lost Children: 37 Active AMBER Alerts Still Haunt Families

Since the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have tracked AMBER Alerts, 99% of children have been recovered. The 1% are still missing.

www.newsweek.com

America's Lost Children: 37 Active AMBER Alerts Still Haunt Families​

The first AMBER Alert was issued in 1996. The notification, which stands for America's Missing Broadcast Emergency Response, has recovered at least 1,074 abducted children around the country.

Throughout the years, however, not all missing children are found and there are still 37 active alerts.

"Obviously we would want ever case of a missing child to be resolved and for the child to be recovered alive," Alan Nanavaty, executive director of special programs the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children missing children division, told Newsweek.

The alerts serve as just one tool to help find missing children. Last year alone, Nanavaty said her organization had 20,000 children missing reported to the organization. Around 90% of those children were found.

"Since we've been tracking AMBER Alerts, since early 2005 timeframe, 99% of the children have been recovered," Nanavaty said. "It's not a good or bad thing. It's just what it is, and law enforcement continues to work on the cases."

"I think in terms of the AMBER Alert being used or activated at this point on these cases, the value diminishes over time. However, there are still things that can be done," Nanavaty said. "The most important part is locating that child as quickly as possible and bringing them home safely."

2011 Amber Alerts​

Lisa Irwin was reported missing from her home in Kansas City, Missouri. Her mother said she was in bed, but a man allegedly broke into their house. Two witnesses saw a man walking down the street with a baby. A cadaver dog turned up a scent of a dead body near the mother's bed.

I've never believed this one was an abduction. Jmo.

Newest age-progression to age 12 (she would now be 13).

I generally don't buy into that people walk into homes and snatch babies. I'm not saying it's impossible but this was 2011, and in a metropolis like Kansas City. Cell phones existed. Heck someone stole three. Convenient in my opinion. Security cameras did although probably not as prevalent as today. Most people had learned to lock doors by then. I grew up somewhere it was common not to and stayed that way through much of my adulthood but have now been doing so for years. A few maybe still don't but somewhere like KC?

But of course wine and anxiety med.

Babies don't walk or unlock doors or windows.

No leads. Because probably no one took her. Sorry but it is the most likely scenario. Can I say with certainty 100 percent? Nope. Can anyone say with certainty all these years later someone did? Nope.

Someone wants a baby AND three cell phones.

And when they go missing, so many, babies or toddlers, etc. it is always the middle of the night, etc.

The ONLY possibility if someone took her is that it was someone known to them, know she was drunk, was there, and so on and why? For what? The odds are slim to none.

People don't want babies. Pedos even don't want babies, almost unheard of. The rare baby snatching we ever hear of that's proven is some woman who has falsely claimed to her bf to be pregnant and then they take the baby out of the stomach and kill the mom and that did not happen here. Or they take a newborn. Also not the case here.

Again can't say it to 100 percent but it's pretty obvious in this one but I guess they just can't prove it.

Again I am talking likelihood but major likelihood with the facts known.

Such a beautiful child too. RIP baby Lisa.

Just doing a skim through the two pages of posts here to refresh. A cadaver dog turned up a scent of a dead body near the mother's bed??? For some reason, I don't recall hearing that.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I have to ask did we ever ask in this one or do we know when this baby was last independently seen by other than the parents? Nowadays we ask that in almost every case, not sure we did in this one back when.

In skimming the posts, the info sure changes. In one case, three people saw a man walking with a baby, another time it is two, and then it is ONE.

The guy who's dogs "hit" on that has been banned for this work.

The original owner or his wife, I forget which one, died in that bedroom many years ago, too.

Okay. I wondered about it when I saw it. Well if someone did die there, the dog wasn't wrong then.

 

[Guess Who]

Okay. I wondered about it when I saw it. Well if someone did die there, the dog wasn't wrong then.

That depends on if, as it is rumored, that he was told that before he went in that a previous owner died in that bedroom. It also would depend on if that was where they actually died in that spot. If it was in bed, then the dog, and it's handler, was wrong.

This "hit" is how they got the search warrant. Let's also add that the KC Crimes Against Children Unitwas nearly entirely dismissed because of not doing their jobs properly not long after this. It is rumored that many of those officers were on this specific case. I won't say for sure because they have not been publicly named, but let's just say I know of two of them.

Hmm. That sounds mostly like a failure to investigate when a child/ren were in danger or to do their job at all.

It was also for getting search warrants by questionable means. I'm wondering if that specific thing happened here and/or if this case is one of those. Sure makes me wonder.

I can see why. I get so tired of legitimate cases being destroyed or affected by shoddy or questionable as you put it LE handling.

I would think that info gathered from the cell phone data would have led to solving the case.

I would think that info gathered from the cell phone data would have led to solving the case.

It did lead to "jersey" and his girlfriend. That's exactly how they got inserted into the case was cell phone data.

 

[Guess Who]

We also have to remember that this happened way before a lot of phones had actual gps data and relied upon cell tower data to triangulate a phones location. That's why they can only pinpoint the phones getting turned off at a 1/3 mile radius.

 

[Guess Who]

Pretty sure the family member that posted that the police lied about nothing being stolen and that the phones were might have tanked the case. LE was probably hoping to track those phones later but now, no matter who had them, just trashed them because they were tipped off about them. I believe this family member posted this hours after the LE announcement of nothing taken.
