Baby Lisa Irwin Missing: Investigators Comb Nearby Lake for Child

The Case of Missing Infant Baby Lisa Ends Its Fourth Weeks With No Significant Leads

The search for missing Kansas City infant Lisa Irwin continues today as investigators comb through a lake close to where the child went missing on the night of Oct. 4.

Police spokesman Darin Snapp told the Associates Press that the search only lasted an hour and no significant evidence was found.

Chaumiere Lake, located near the parents’ home, was the next step in the search process after authorities had spent the last four weeks scouring wooded areas, abandoned homes, and dumpsters surrounding the residence.

Investigators combed the infant’s home for 17 hours Wednesday, leaving with multiple bags of evidence.

Investigators are requesting that the parents of infant Lisa Irwin, who went missing from her Kansas City, partake in separate interviews concerning their daughter’s disappearance. The two parents told authorities that their 10-month-old baby girl was snatched from her crib on Oct. 4.

“We need them to sit down apart from each other, with detectives, and answer the tough questions detectives have for them concerning what they may or may not know about anything, who came and went [the night Lisa disappeared]," Kansas City Police Captain Steve Young told ABCNews.com.

"There's a whole list of things that they may know," he added.

Although officials contend that the couple has complied with authorities’ requests, public suspicion began to circulate when Deborah Bradley, mother of Lisa, switched the time she last saw her infant the night she disappeared. Originally saying she put her child down at 10:30 p.m., she then changed her story to say 6:40 p.m. local time.

More concern arose when Bradley told NBC news that she had been drinking heavily on the evening of her child’s disappearance, saying that she had “enough to be drunk.”

Bradley also said she fears being arrested for her baby’s disappearance, because “if they arrest me, people are going to stop looking for her.”

The couple has recently hired a lawyer concerning the case of their missing infant.

Bradley's fiancé and baby Lisa's father Jeremy Irwin was out on a late call doing electrical work for a local Starbucks. When he returned from work roughly around 4 a.m., he reported several lights on, the front door unlocked, three missing cell phones and a tampered screen window.

Bradley’s two sons told authorities they had heard noises in the night.

Today, Bradley and Irwin cancelled all appointments until next week.

“The last few weeks have been exhausting to everyone working on behalf of the Irwin family," family lawyer Cyndy Short said in a statement.

 “Therefore, the consensus is we all need a rest ... All appointments in Kansas City today and tomorrow are being postponed until next week," she added.

Bradley’s two sons, ages 6 and 8, were scheduled to be re-interviewed by police and provide a DNA sample to authorities Friday. There is no word if this will still take place.

On Monday, footage from a gas station surveillance camera surfaced, showing a man in white exiting a wooded area close to the Bradley home, roughly two hours before Baby Lisa was reported missing on Oct. 4.

Although witnesses have been interviewed in reference to the video, the case now winds up its fourth week with no significant leads.
