Lisa Irwin Video: Family Of Missing Kansas City Baby Releases Home Videos

First Posted: 10/14/11 03:28 PM ET Updated: 12/14/11 05:12 AM ET

Relatives of Lisa Irwin, a 10-month old baby who was allegedly stolen from her crib, posted home videos of the infant on YouTube to help the search.

The missing girl's parents, Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley, say their daughter vanished from their Kansas City home on Oct. 4. Irwin told police when he came home late at night from a work shift, lights were on in the house and a window had been tampered with.

There are four videos, each about a minute long, with titles like "Yelling At Mommy," "Lisa Eating Cereal," and "Lisa's New Toy."

At the time of the recordings, the infant was about three months old and appears to be happy while her mother coos to her off-camera.

A cousin, speaking on behalf of the family, expressed thanks to the volunteers who have turned out in large numbers to assist in the search for Baby Lisa, The Kansas City Star reports.

The family also hired a New York City private detective, Bill Stanton, who said he planned to reveal on Friday that another prominent figure had joined the search team, The Star says.

Stanton also announced a $100,000 reward that will be offered for the return of the missing infant or leads that aid in the conviction of individuals involved in the child's disappearance, the Associated Press reports.

I have said from the beginning that Mom is involved. She is still married to the father of one of her boys. This is the scene: The abductor comes through the baby's bedroom window (police re-enacting this found it impossibly difficult), the baby is then picked up, the abductor then goes into the living room and turns on all the lights to find the three cell phones (neatly lined up and visible apparently), the abductor then takes the cell phones and proceeds to exit the home with the baby out the front door and leaves all the lights blazing. I don't have to be an FBI profiler to be profoundly suspicious of this entire scenario.

This whole thing is sounding strnager by the day.Now they have suposedly found some eveidence in an abandoned home along with some mens clothing and used baby wipes.It had to be someone who knew these people and knew exactctly where the baby would be.Also it makes no sense that they would go in thru the window,take the kid and then walk right to where the cell phones were an take them also.Thas way to fishy for me to by at all.Sopposedly the mother failed the polygraph test which remians to be up in the air persay.Nothing about this so called abduction is adding up though

That baby is so cute she is like a little angel, who would harm something so precious and innocent. It would had to have been a devil. I would not have let her out of my sight. Parents should keep their infants and kids close to them. There are too many crazy people walking about these days who appear to be normal.

Jeremy Irwin called police about 4 a.m. Oct. 4 to report that daughter Lisa was missing from her crib. KCTV5 obtained on Friday the radio transmissions between dispatchers and police officers.

One of the responding officers is told about an Aug. 16 call involving Irwin.

"There was a complaint issued to a Jeremy Irwin regards to a larceny," the dispatcher tells the officer. "You can log it onto your call and also could you call me for additional information in regards to that call."

KCTV5 was unable to obtain more information about this complaint on Friday. Irwin has not spoken to local reporters about the search for his missing daughter since last week.

Hi reliant1
That's as much information I could find myself. What's really strange is the extended family are really laying low. I see either and uncle or maybe brother are the only one's
posting signs.
They say this reward money came for a wealthy family member who is also paying Wild Bill the PI from NY.
Something really stinks... I heard from someone that the Mississippi River isn't too far from them and it would be too difficult to get there from the home.

Well, we know for sure that Cindy Anthony didn't put up this reward money or she would be all over the media. The Anthony's haven't had to work since they first put in the 911 call when Caylee went missing. They made their money off the death of little Caylee and probably won't have to work another day in their life.. How sick are these people IMO..
The Anthony's scored by Dr. Phil for the missing children and grandparents organization. If anyone needs to be donating for the reward, it should be them.
Now... Cindy... If this money was to used for this purpose.. Where's the money for the search teams. I bet Tim Miller would be happy to join this search if he had funds. You know.. the guy you turned away because the Anthony's wouldn't be truthful with him.

Wild Bill as he's being called, stated an anonymous donor put up the money. This case is following the same pattern as the Casey case. It's strange the way the are approaching the coverage of Lisa, it's pay for pictures by the big media. If my child was missing, I wouldn't for one second think about any payment for press.. the only thing I would want is my Baby.

I posted a few days ago about the river close by their home. The person told me the Mississippi river isn't that far from the home. If this is the case, I'd have people searching the river banks.
Lisa is close to where she was taken and they know it...
The media should refuse to pay for any coverage and if it's that important to the parents.. the pictures and videos would be released without having a PI.. Will Bill taking charge. IMO

It's following the pattern of both cases... Cummings and Anthony

Interesting that $100,000 is being offered. I'd say that someone has some strings to pull to get a so-called anonymous source to put up the cash.

I have no idea what happened to this baby, so it would be stupid for me to point fingers at anybody.

That being said, it seems that these videos were released more to cast the mother in a positive light than to aid in finding the child.
07:35 AM on 10/15/2011
I so agree!
11:49 AM on 10/15/2011
The videos also help people see more what the baby looks like which may help someone spot her.

All this speculation is ridiculous. Let the detectives do their jobs and pray she comes home safe. For other parents, I would advise an alarm system, close circuit tv's in and on the property, Baby monitors, gates on the windows and triple locked doors. p.s. keep the dog in the house, not locked up in the back yard like their dog was.

I hope the $100,000 gives the cops some info. And she is found safe...
02:47 AM on 10/15/2011
A baby who may have been given too much cold medicine and/or wine would not have been crying when a stranger or family picked her up, God bless the little baby, I hope and pray for her safe finding.

I think young babies are used to your smell and that is why they do not wake in alarm when you pick them up.

And the dog in the backyard wouldn't have made a sound as the intruder went through the yard to get to the baby's window?
