Missing Baby Lisa Irwin: One Month Later What Really Happened?
The mysterious case of missing baby Lisa Irwin has captured national attention and has the public consumed in the details of what happened in the past month since the Kansas City 10-month-old went missing – while continuously questioning if baby Lisa’s parents are entirely innocent in the devastating case.
When baby Lisa’s father, Jeremy Irwin, came home Oct. 4 in the early hours of the morning and discovered his baby girl missing from her crib questions about the whereabouts of the blue-eyed baby ensued.
Irwin had sensed something was wrong when he came home to an unlocked door, lights on, and a window open with the screen broken, and discovered that not only was his child gone, so were three family cell phones.

Baby Lisa’s mother admits that she had been intoxicated the night the little girl went missing but maintains that she did not leave the lights on or the front door unlocked. She originally claimed to have last seen the child at 10:30 p.m. but later admitted that she did not see Lisa after she put her to bed at 6:40 p.m. on Oct. 4.
The same morning Lisa went missing, a fire was discovered at 2:30 a.m. in a dumpster near the home of the missing baby. However, no body was found in the dumpster, nor in the local landfill.
On Oct. 6 the parents of missing baby Lisa made a public plea calling for whoever took their baby to bring her home, however, the local police came out to say that the family was no longer “cooperating” with them on the same day.
The next day, Lisa's parents went on the “Today” show to discuss the case and Baby Lisa’s mother admitted to failing a polygraph lie-detector test. However, she maintained that she did not know why and the parents denied that they were not cooperating with the police.
Other major occurrences over the past month that have had people questioning if the parents of missing baby Lisa have been fully honest with the police included the cancellation of police interviews with baby Lisa’s half brothers and the firing of lawyer Cyndy Short from the case.
Police have followed over 1,000 leads and have drained wells, staged break-ins, and searched nearby lakes, all of which have led to no leads in finding Lisa.
With the case hitting a one month milestone and no information as to where the baby might be, critics are questioning if the parents of baby Lisa are indeed innocent in her disappearance.
Some of the questions raised about baby Lisa's parents include how a modest Midwestern family can afford a high-profile New York lawyer, who the person is behind the $100,000 award offered for the baby’s safe return or conviction of those involved in her disappearance, and why baby Lisa’s parents have been focusing on national as opposed to local media outlets.
Nevertheless, while the entire mix of convoluted details surrounding the case continue to get murkier as the days go on, what remains most important in the case of baby Lisa is that one month on, an innocent child remains unaccounted for.
