Lisa Irwin (2010-present) is an 11-month old baby, reported missing from her home in Kansas City, MO on Oct 3, 2011.[1][2][3][4] The missing persons report attracted national publicity in late 2011 due to implications of Lisa's parents, and strange reports related to the case. In October 2011, Cyndy Short stopped representing the Irwin family, saying that she was unable to work with the family.[5][6] Lisa's brothers had been scheduled for interviews and to collect DNA samples regarding the case, but their parents cancelled the night before, according to Joe Tacopina, the family's attorney, and have subsequently denied investigators access to the boys.[6]

Events

Bradley Irvin, Lisa's mother, says he discovered Lisa missing from her bed around 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 3rd. According to Bradley, Lisa had been in her bed when he checked on her at 10:30 p.m. Monday night, but when he came home from his late night job on Tuesday, he discovered "many of the home's lights were on, a window was open and the front door was unlocked".[4] Later, the family told police that several cellphones were also missing.[4]

During an interview with The Associated Press, Bradley said the police had accused her of being involved in Lisa's disappearance, and informed her that she had failed a lie detector test, telling her "You did it. You did it. And we have nothing."[7][8] Bradley and Jeremy announced the following week that they were organizing a reward in hopes that it would result in new information.

Jeremy Irwin appeared on the Today Show for an interview regarding the events, saying "We just want to make sure that we tell everybody that we're still cooperating. We're still talking to the police. We're doing everything we can to try to find Lisa and bring her home."[9]
