Baby Lisa Irwin Missing: One Month On and Still No Clues
It has already been one month since baby Lisa Irwin was reported missing by her parents; allegedly snatched from her Kansas City home. Despite few clues and no suspects, the police confirmed on Friday that they are still actively searching for the baby - though earlier reports suggested that the search had dwindled to a halt.
The case of Baby Lisa Irwin has been in the national media spotlight since she mysteriously 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.”
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. One witness, who had reported that he saw a man at an intersection holding a baby with a diaper, told Examiner.com that the man appeared to have “salt and pepper” color hair.
Mike Thompson said he saw the man wearing a T-shirt and white pants at 4.10 a.m. walking near the intersection on the night of the disappearance.
The case is being considered as missing person’s case and not a murder case by the police.
