Missing Baby Lisa Irwin Timeline: The Mysteries of the Past 2 Months
It has been approximately two months since Missouri baby Lisa Irwin has been missing. Now the family of the Northland infant on Tuesday, asked for an end to the vigils outside their home.
The infant's disappearance has not only rocked her community, but the nation also.
The people gathered outside the home have been praying for the infant's safe return. However, John Picerno, an attorney for Lisa's parents, Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, told The Kansas City Star that the family will continue private vigils.
But Edith Fine-Duskin, the leader of the group called Lisa's Angels, told the Kansas City paper that it hurts that the family no longer wants the vigil held outside their home.
It is like she (Deborah Bradley) is pushing us all away, Fine-Duskin told the paper, noting that she still believes Lisa Irwin is alive.
Police have reported no new developments in the case and have no suspects. They also have no clue what happened to the infant, despite receiving hundreds of leads.
Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin have told police that their infant daughter has been missing since Oct. 4 and that she was possibly abducted from her crib during the early morning hours.
The infant's parents told authorities that they found out she was missing when the father returned home from working the night shift.
Texas-based psychic Stephanie Almaguer has said she received visions that have led her to believe the infant drowned in the family's bathtub and was placed on the parents' bedroom floor as they were trying to revive her, according to Examiner.com.
That report also noted that Almaguer believes that baby Lisa Irwin was placed in a shallow grave near the family home after attempts to revive her failed.
She's in a hole, and it was a hole that carried water, Almaguer said, as reported by Examiner.com.
Police have led a search of Baby Lisa Irwin's parents' home and a cadaver dog detected a deceased-human smell in the bedroom.
According to a police affidavit filed in a Kansas City court, the dog was searching for evidence when it indicated a positive 'hit' for the scent of a deceased human in an area of the floor of [her parents'] bedroom near the bed.
