Baby Lisa Irwin Missing: Witness Identifies Neighbor in Lineup
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.

It has already been one month since baby Lisa Irwin was reported missing by her parents in 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 was dwindling 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 Fox News: “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.
The case is being considered as missing person’s case and not a murder case by the police.
