I thought I heard a couple of days ago that a neighbor (man I think) saw someone walking down the street about 1:30 in the morning with a baby. That in itself is pretty odd. Yet there does not seem to be any follow up reporting on that sighting/info.

This whole ordeal is really bothering me, as I have small kids at home. Just a very odd / scary situation. |

I haven't heard a specific neighborhood this occurred in, just KCMO. I live in KCMO and you see all kinds of things that should be unusual but aren't. Like the guy with one leg pushing an empty wheel chair down the middle of the Paseo. I've seen people walking with babies at all hours of the night.

As soon as we brought our oldest daughter home from the hospital, all that went out the window. Now if someone pulls in the driveway, parks on the street, walks through the front yard (much less rings the doorbell), she's up barking and generally going nuts. Hell, we've had her get between the kids and the front door in an "attack" position when the pizza man comes to the door. |

The Missouri parents of missing 10-month-old Lisa Irwin are growing more desperate while police combing the neighborhood and asking to search people's homes have no leads in what they describe as a rare but terrifying crime.
Speaking on "Good Morning America" this morning from outside their home in Kansas City, the girl's mother choked back tears and father Jeremy Irwin repeated their plea for anyone with information on their missing toddler to come forward. Lisa's mother, Deborah Brandley, described to "GMA" exactly what happened the last time she saw her daughter: "[She disappeared] between the time she went to bed and time I went to bed," she said through tears. "I gave her her bottle and put her to sleep, and that was the last when we last saw her." Irwin, who lives with Deborah and her two other children from pervious relationships, described how he returned from work around 4 a.m. "The windows were open and the lights were on, and she was no where to be found," he said. "We've been going over everything in our minds. We just don't have any idea." Police Capt. Steve Young said there are no major leads in the case, while Kansas City police and FBI agents continued their investigation and search for the baby. More than 300 law officers have been using helicopters, all-terrain vehicles and door-to-door interviews in the search. Speaking with ABC News, Lisa's grandmother, Melanie Irwin, pleaded for the girl's return. "Bring her back. We love her, everybody loves her," Irwin said. "She needs her family. She needs her family. They need her." Lisa was last seen at 10:30 p.m. Monday asleep in her crib at her parents' home. When her father arrived home at 4 a.m. from an overnight shift as an electrician, he discovered that Lisa was missing. The parents immediately called police. While police initially fixated on a window and screen in the bedroom that appeared to have been tampered with and might have been where a kidnapper entered and exited, they are not certain such was the case. "We are interviewing family and friends just to eliminate everyone's that close to the family as suspects," Officer Darin Snapp said. He described the family's neighborhood as a "middle-class, very quiet neighborhood." Ernie Allen of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said that infant abduction cases are relatively rare. There have been 278 documented cases in which newborns or infants have been abducted since 1983. Forty-six percent, or 128 cases, involved instances in which the children were taken from health care locations, hospitals, for instance. Forty percent, or 112 cases, involved children taken from homes. Of the total 278 cases, children were returned home safely in 266 instances. "The typical profile of the abductor of an infant is a woman, usually an emotionally disturbed woman who has lost a child or wants a child for some reason," Allen told ABC News. Brandley clutched a Barney stuffed doll Wednesday and pleaded for the life of her missing girl. "We just want our baby back," Lisa's mother said through sobs and tears while hugging the plush toy. "Please. Bring her home. Our two other boys are waiting for her." "On Monday night or Tuesday morning, our daughter Lisa was taken from our home and we just urge anyone with any information as to where she is or who she's with to please call the tip hotline or the police," said Lisa's father Jeremy Irwin in a trembling voice. "Anything, even the smallest bit of information, could help lead to her return. "Anybody that might have her, they can drop her off anyplace safe, fire station, hospital church, no questions asked," Irwin said. Anyone with information on Lisa's disappearance should call the Kansas City Police Department hotline at 816-474-TIPS. |

someone slipped into my dad's house in Belize, took a bunch of money and computers even out of dad's bedroom while he and his woman were sleeping. It's ballsy and unheralded but it is entirely possible for someone to sneak in an open window and not wake you up. |

If it were my kid and they ever caught the guy, I might be tempted to hire the best lawyer I could to ensure the perp never went to jail where he'd be protected behind those walls and barbed wire fence.

I saw a video earlier that showed the child's bedroom was in the front of the house facing the street. I had just assumed it was in the back of the house with less visability.
Wonder why the mom says she was taken while she was still awake? This story will bug me and drive me crazy until that little girl is safe with her family. |

I don't think that is what she meant.

Ok, thanks!
I guess I am just too used to small town life. That would be pretty unusual where I live. |

I am sure the police have interviewed the father of her other two children, I would think he would be a prime suspect as well.
