Baby Lisa Irwin Missing: Was Disappearance Drug-Related?
Baby Lisa Irwin, whose first birthday was on Nov. 11, remains missing following her alleged abduction from her home on Oct. 4. Police are yet to find any substantial leads in the case, but most-recent rumors are suggesting that baby Lisa may have been the victim of methane addicts seeking a quick fix.
The new rumors seem to stem from when police questioned Megan Wright, a friend of baby Lisa’s mother who lives about a mile away. On the night of baby Lisa's disappearance, someone apparently tried to use mother, Deborah Bradley's mobile phone to call a woman; it was later discovered that the unidentified woman was, in fact, Wright.
The call, police say, lasted about 50 seconds.

Wright said to KCTV5: “I don't know what was said, or who called, or who answered my phone.”
Wright is alleged to have connections to drug abuse. Her ex-boyfriend is also neighborhood repairman John Tanko, who has a criminal history and has been frequently questioned by police. He too has reportedly had a history of drug abuse.
Local Kansas City private investigator, Ron Rugen has reportedly questioned Wright on the possibility of her residence being a flop house.
Wright told Rugen: "It wasn't a flop house as it was said to be on Fox. It's very tough to see the house presented that way, because it's not the case. The people are wonderful and caring and considerate and as nice as could be. Just because they helped out friends doesn't make them drug users or anything else that was said in that report."
Wright wrote on Facebook: "I do believe that he had my phone all night. But other than that, I'm not sure. Just because he had my phone doesn't make him guilty of anything.”
Tanko is said to be co-operating with the investigation and is currently behind the bars for an unrelated theft.
