Missing baby in KC

[Stitch]

Mom "fails" polygraph test and parents have stopped cooperating, according to police, but the parents say they are cooperating. Weird case.

I'm have a horrible feeling that this will not end well.

Has Nancy Grace's Bat(**** Crazy) Signal gone out yet on this one?

Isn't she still busy doing the merengue and the cha-cha?

10-month old mysteriously missing from crib? Chance parents are involved probably 95 percent.

This.

That percentage sounds a little low.

This has received non-stop coverage in KC this week and there's no way to watch the news/read a paper/be on social media without seeing info updates. I'll say this, if the parents are involved, they've put on quite a performance, because they both, and especially the mother, have come off as completely distraught in the interviews I saw.

But yeah, from the moment word first got out about this, something seemed strange. Someone breaks into the house in the middle of the night to steal a baby and three cell phones, which I'm assuming weren't in the baby's room? Still, I have an 11 month old daughter and even the mere thought that this could happen is horrifying.

To me, the weirdest thing was that the dad came home at 4:30 a.m. and the lights were on. If I am committing a crime at night, the darkness is far too large of an ally to ever compromise for one second longer than necessary

Cowbell's back? I didn't get the memo.

Bend over backward to give them the benefit of the doubt.

 

[poindexter]

Can we get a picture of the mom to determine whether she's hot to determine whether we care?

 

[Captain_Kirk]

Casey Anthony finds it completely believable.

Cowbell's back? I didn't get the memo.

I was scrolling down, and saw the name and thought the same thing.

welcome back Simon.

FBI: Johnson County landfill search tied to Lisa Irwin case (missing baby)

Posted on Friday, October 07, 2011 2:23:20 PM
SHAWNEE, Kan. - The FBI confirms the search of a Johnson County landfill was connected to the case of a 10-month-old missing Kansas City girl. More than a dozen law enforcement officers searched the Deffenbaugh Industries Johnson County landfill in white protective suits. By a little before 2 p.m. CDT, they had cleared the scene without appearing to have taken anything from the landfill. An FBI spokeswoman confirmed what NBC Action News first reported, that the search is in connection to the case of Lisa Irwin, who was reported missing Tuesday morning.

1. Nobody kidnaps 10-month-old babies. You can't pass off a 10-month-old baby as your own, and sexual predators don't target kids that young. Plus, 10-month-old babies are needy and completely high-maintenance.

2. No kidnapper also goes from room to room in a crowded house and steals all 3 cell phones, including the cell phone of a man who wasn't even home at the time. Convenient, though, that they can now claim that the tracking from the cell phone towers wasn't them.

This case is so fishy it's not even funny. I have my theories but instead I'll just hope that the baby is found safe and sound somewhere.

FBI Moves Baby Lisa Search To Irwin Backyard

3:50 p.m. CDT, October 7, 2011
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—
An early morning dumpster fire on Tuesday led investigators to search a Johnson County landfill in the Lisa Irwin case. By late afternoon Friday, the search had moved to the Irwin backyard.

In addition to the landfill search, the investigators with theFBI Evidence Response Team began searching the neighborhood around the Irwin home with metal detectors and by hand. There is no word on what investigators are looking for, specifically.

Police said someone reported a dumpster fire at an apartment complex at 4897 NE 37th Street at 2:27 a.m. on Tuesday, October 4. The dumpster is less than a half a mile away from the Irwin home. Friday's search was the second time investigators visited the landfill.

Ten-month-old Lisa Irwin was reported missing by her parents around 4 a.m. Tuesday.

Investigators examined the trash from the fire two times. On Friday they examined it again. Also on Friday, police returned to the Johnson County Deffenbaugh Industries' landfill for the second time.

I saw the couple on Today Show this a.m. - got a very weird vibe. Feel bad saying that because we don't know anything yet. But I suspect I'd have a bright spotlight on them 'twer I the authorities.

 

[billikens]

The search is intensifying around the parents. The night they reported their baby missing there was a dumpster fire at 2:30 a.m. about a half mile from the family's house. The mother failed a lie detector test. The cops came out and said the parents had stopped cooperating. The parents then said that, in fact, they were cooperating, which was a surprise to police, who say the parents have a lawyer and have refused to answer questions since Thursday.

 

[Point of Order]

Does anyone have a conclusion I can jump to?
