Private investigator joins search for Lisa Irwin
The family of Lisa Irwin has hired a New York-area private investigator to help in the search for the child.
P.I. Bill Stanton said, Tuesday, he will work with authorities and the media to help find the child.
The Irwins said they did not hire Stanton, but declined to say who contacted the investigator for assistance with the case.
Hours earlier, investigators spent a good portion of the day searching an abandoned well near the Irwin home, but police say nothing was recovered during the search.
The operation was conducted behind a home at 38th Street and Brighton Avenue. An abandoned well was discovered underneath a deck in the backyard, and a search was started just before 11 a.m.
A police statement said that investigators received a tip about the abandoned house with a well near the Irwin home, so they decided to search it.
Crews initially disassembled a portion of the deck to gain access to the well. A tripod was setup to give crews better access and to lower workers down.
The pumper truck was brought in at about 12:30 p.m. to pump water out of the well. The truck started sucking water out at about 1:30 p.m.
At 2:30 p.m., police announced that nothing had been found in the well.
Lisa Irwin was discovered missing from her crib inside her home on North Lister Avenue one week ago.
