New surveillance footage of mystery man may support Lisa Irwin parents’ claim that their daughter was abducted. That news came Sunday morning after a national television program said they had obtained the video.
In video obtained  by “Good Morning America,” a man dressed in white is seen leaving a wooded area, at 2:30 a.m. — the night of Lisa’s disappearance.

The family claims Lisa was abducted and they point to key witnesses who saw a suspicious man that night, carrying a baby.

Mike Thompson told ABC News that he was on his way home from work around 4 a.m. on Oct. 4 when he saw a man in a t-shirt carrying a baby at an intersection about three miles from the Irwin home.

It was shortly after 4 a.m. that Lisa’s parents said they discovered she was missing.

“[At] 4 a.m., 45 degrees, baby don’t have a coat or nothing and this guy is walking down the street and I thought it was kind of weird,” Thompson said.

He thought the sight was so unusual that he recalled considering offering the man and baby a ride home, but couldn’t because he was on his motorcycle.

He later reported what he saw to police and told ABC News he is convinced the baby was Lisa.

Thompson described the man as around 5-feet-7, between 140 and 150 pounds and in his late 30s or early 40s.

A few hours earlier, a couple living three houses down from the Irwin family said they saw a similar sight. A woman and her husband said they saw a man in a t-shirt carrying a baby. They thought the situation was so unusual that they reported it to police on the morning of Oct. 4.

“It was shocking because I couldn’t imagine anyone outside walking with their baby in the cold like that with no clothes on,” the woman told ABC News.

Bradley has said that Lisa was wearing purple shorts and a purple t-shirt when she last saw her, but the neighboring couple said they baby they saw did not appear to be wearing any clothing.

“We seen the little arm, the leg, it didn’t look like the baby had on any clothes, just a diaper,” she said.

Dumpster Fire Investigation

Police are also investigating a fire that took place at this Dumpster at that same time, in that same area.

That dumpster fire could explain not only why burnt clothes were shown to Lisa’s parents during interrogation, but also why authorities searched an area landfill as part of the investigation.

The Dumpster is emptied at the landfill.

Cadaver Dog ‘Positive Hit’

Overnight, family lawyer Cyndy Short, gave GMA an exclusive tour of the home where she went missing.

It was the first time she saw the home, and what she found, surprised her.

On Friday, cadavar dogs had a “positive hit” at the foot of their bed. But last night, the rug was still there, in tact.

“I thought the dog alerted on one side or the other of the bed but as you notice as you walk around, all the carpeting is in tact…that is it was not cut out to preserve. Whatever it was that the dog allegedly hit on… I personally find that surprising,” Short said.

The house has been searched multiple times by police. They came with a search warrant this week – but Short points out that very little has been disturbed.
