Baby Lisa Irwin Missing: Volunteers Search Nearby Woods for Clues

As police confirmed the search for missing baby Lisa Irwin remains active, volunteers in the local area have searched the neighborhood vicinity in hopes of finding more clues, reports KMBC.com.

A crowd of volunteers, which included Lisa’s grandparents, searched the woods near 53rd Street and Randolph Road on Saturday, following reports of witnesses seeing a man carrying a baby in that area on the night she went missing.

Although it has been one month since baby Lisa vanished from her crib in her Kansas City home on Oct. 4, police have not found any hard evidence on what may have happened to the baby and the number of tips in the case have reportedly begun to slow down.

On Friday, Kansas City police spokeswoman Stacey Grave told FoxNews.com: “We did not call off the search by any means.”

She said that investigators had not conducted any “large field searches” in the past few days but they are still “receiving tips and following up on them.”

No suspects have been identified in the case so far. Parents Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin reported their daughter missing on the evening of Oct. 4 after Irwin returned home from work and found her missing.

Her mother admitted falling asleep drunk on the night her daughter went missing. Jeremy Irwin worked a night shift and did not return home until around 4 a.m. and noticed Lisa was not in her crib. He then called the authorities.

Investigators have searched the neighborhood, woods, ponds and a well but found nothing substantial. Three witnesses have reported seeing a man carrying a baby three miles from the Irwin home on the night that baby Lisa disappeared.

Police are still approaching her disappearance as a missing person's case and not a murder case.

One of the three witnesses who described seeing a man with a baby near an intersection three miles from baby Lisa Irwin’s home has identified a man in a photo lineup who is a neighbor of the Irwin family, according to a report by Fox News.

The neighbor is thought to be the husband of Samantha Brando, who was reportedly drinking with baby Lisa’s mother Deborah on the night of the disappearance. However, the neighbor has an alibi for the night and has also passed a polygraph test.
