Lisa Irwin

Kansas City police Capt. Steve Young made a statement at a news conference Thursday evening that in effect said the parents of a missing Kansas City baby are no longer cooperating with police.
“It doesn’t help the case,” said Young, noting that police still have no suspects in the case of the missing baby, Lisa Irwin.
Young said the parents, Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, had previously been cooperative, which was helpful to the case. But he said the parents decided this evening not to talk to investigators.
Investigators have no suspects and few solid leads despite an intensive search for 10-month-old Lisa Irwin. Her parents say she was snatched from her crib sometime Monday night or early Tuesday.
Police also said they were shutting down their command post near the Irwin home. “We believe we have done all we can regarding geographic searches and will continue tracking leads as we get them or develop additional information.”
Since Lisa’s disappearance more than 48 hours ago, investigators have conducted 300 consensual searches of residences near the Irwin home.
More than 300 law enforcement officers have been involved in the search. Authorities have conducted three shoulder-to-shoulder searches in woods near the home and have deployed police dogs several times.
Thursday morning, the child’s parents, Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley, described how they frantically searched their home for any sign of their daughter but found only an open window, an unlocked front door and house lights blazing.
Jeremy Irwin told local media that whoever took his daughter also took all three of their cellphones so they couldn’t call anybody, including 911.
The couple have also appeared on two national morning news shows.
Police had cancelled an Amber Alert for the child within 24 hours of her disappearance.
