How is this not a topic of discussion on a KC message board?

My Catahoula is actually pretty quiet, she doesn’t have much to say unless there’s something to talk about so if I hear any noise out of her there’s something going on. Usually it’s just a treed opossum or a cat rummaging through the trash but I do know when they’re there.

my dogs would go beserk; especially my lab. She went crazy one night when - in the middle of the night - my backpack that I take to work, fell off the chair in the living room. she starting going nuts; I went out to investigate, and she did a entire search of the place; growling and whoofing under her breath etc.

dogs rule

Same here. My Dog is my alarm system. My dog goes off as soon as a car enters the driveway.

I don't know. This seems really odd to me too.

The parents have different last names. According to the mom there is a 5 hour period where someone could have done it. Usually someone doesn't break into a house to rob, and instead decides to abduct and take care of a sleeping baby. They had to know what they where getting before that, and that dad would be at work.

No one else in the whole house hears anything? Most babies cry when awoken in the middle of the night, esp if taken outside thru a window. Did they supposedly walk away with baby, or drive off? No one heard a car?

Then the perp decides to look through the house for cell phones? Whose was the 2nd and 3rd cell phones for? I would assume Dad had his with him. I would also assume most people don't charge their phones together in one place especially in a babies room. Most I would think would be on nightstand next to bed.

Also this:

"Please drop her off anywhere," Jeremy Irwin said calmly during a brief news conference..."

As most have already stated, calm is the last thing you would be with a missing baby somewhere you don't know, with someone you don't know.

Too many variables in the story. I hope everything turns out ok for that babies sake, but this story sounds fishy.

This is definitely sounding more bizarre as time goes on.

This quote doesn't exactly sound confident coming from the investigator....

Young said investigators interviewed the girl's parents until about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, but did not take them into custody.

"They were cooperative, but at this point we have next to nothing to go on," he said.

And the "Drop her off anywhere." line does seem out of place. But who knows what would go through someone's head had they actually had their child kidnapped...

I'm just glad they rulled out Dingo's

[ForeverChiefs58]

Wonder if his work record checks out? If their was a fight between parents before abduction?

I disagree.

If I were the parent, I could give a shit about the Perp, I would just want my Child back. The parent is pleading, saying that they're not asking that you turn yourself in, just give us our Child.

Their line of thought is the same as what mine would be. All i want is my kid and that's all that matters right now. Drop her off and run for Mexico for all I care, just give me back my child.

I saw the interview this morning.

I wouldn't have described his demeanor as calm, I would describe it as "trying to hold your shit together on national tv and not cracking causing your wife to freak out"


They followed up the "drop her off anywhere" with a list of places like churches, fire station, police station, hospital...."

it's pretty easy to get scatterbrained under extreme stress. Hell, try balancing the checkbook with 3 kids crying or playing or arguing....let alone not make any mis-steps in word choices during an interview when you've probably not slept for 3 days.

I don't know that these people are innocent, but assuming they are, I feel terrible for them.

Regarding a post above:
A baby may not cry if awoken in the night. They might, but my kids could be asleep and if I picked them up gently and held them right they would stay sleeping, even if I walked around the house with them.

And I'm pretty sure the baby was conceived by both of them, so it isn't like one person is jealous that someone else's baby is living with them..

This, if you don't jerk them around, if they are fast asleep they aren't waking, and if they do stir, it usually isn't into full wakefulness.

Even if the baby did cry, you probably wouldn't wake up immediately. The few minutes it would take for you to wake up is enough time for the abductor to escape out the window.

Daddy said the front door was unlocked, so I'm guessing the person just walked out the front door, not out the window. In window, out door.

I have a kid not too much older than this one. It's the same as it was with the others.....

Kids fall asleep in the car all of the time, and you can easily take a baby out of a car seat, grab a couple of bags of diapers or groceries, pack the kid into the house, take off your coat and shoes while holding them, change their diaper, put on a sleeper and put them in bed, usually without waking them. Sometimes they open their eyes and consider waking up and then dose back off with a shhhhhhh.
