Baby Lisa Irwin Missing: Police Confirm Search Continues Despite Earlier Rumors
A police spokeswoman confirmed Friday that the search for missing baby Lisa Irwin is still active. Earlier reports suggested that police had ended the search for baby Lisa, who disappeared from her crib in her Kansas City home on Oct 4.
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 crib empty with no sign of baby Lisa.
Her mother admitted falling asleep drunk on the night her daughter went missing. Jeremy Irwin worked a night shift as an electrician to help support his family, and did not return home until around 4 a.m. when he realized Lisa was not in her crib.
Investigators have searched the neighborhood, woods, ponds and a well but have 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.
