Latest seems to be they are searching behind a neighbors house...someone posted "the neighbor" who was questioned before.

We haven't heard from the parents in a couple of days. They were not with Jeremy's sister at the speedway event this weekend. Last we heard, they are reportedly cooperating with police again. Possible that some of the little gaps Debbi admitted were causing her problems with LE are now coming together if the parents have been spending time with LE. A good thing. Maybe that's why new re-enactments and new activity is occuring?

I do not believe that this LE is doing anything obvious at the house for the first time. They definitely don't appear like Keystone Cops to me. We watched them, in full protective gear, processing the window seals, checking the outside very early on... They've been interviewing and re-interviewing in the area. They searched the immediate areas and the landfill mutiple times. They've followed on tips. They're pushing the mother for as much detail as possible. They have searched the home, with the parents' consent, a few times. As a new details emerge, I think it's natural that LE would go back and check/test specifics. All this is a good sign to me. Imo.

Does anyone else find it strange that none of Jeremy & Debbie's friends have come out to support them in the search for Lisa? Maybe they have and we just haven't heard about it. I believe Jeremy & Debbie are innocent of any involvement in Lisa's disappearance but I just find it strange that we haven't heard from or seen any of their friends.

Very much so.
I would expect to hear from the other parents of the two boys(the ex's),neighbors,family and friends.

Now ,this search is different than one in which the child may have wandered off. But still..............

IMHO....until Terri Horman has an incentive to talk, or until they find Kyron's body, there won't be a resolution. I think LE knows who is involved but they can't make an arrest yet.

This is what I am thinking. It rained this morning is all though, but is muddy in places (drainage ditch) and the grass is wet. This morning is the first rain here in weeks, though and it was very little so far.

This may be totally off, however, I believe the cell phones pinging never left the area. Even if they should be found in the neighbor's yard, without Lisa, it doesn't necessarily mean the neighbor is involved unless the area is fenced with no access from outside.

Not fenced off. This is one of the only yards not fenced. It has 1 or 2 sides fenced but it is the neighbors' fence. IF they are looking at pings, this yard is merely feet from the I's.

Bradley and her husband Sean Bradley separated four years ago, but never got divorced, they say. The family of Mr Bradley, who is currently away serving in the Army, said that their daughter-in-law was a good person who they do not think would be capable of harming a child.

So what's they gonna do with a 10 months old? You can't pass her off as a newborn. I think parents of any such teenager would be curious where the **** a 10 months old came from.

I think the baby was going to be treated like they often treat cats and dogs...an excuse to murder or harm.

Motivation:
1. Sexual perversion
2. Harm the family for a perceived slight

This may be totally off, however, I believe the cell phones pinging never left the area. Even if they should be found in the neighbor's yard, without Lisa, it doesn't necessarily mean the neighbor is involved unless the area is fenced with no access from outside.

MOO

That's one thing, and then the other is that we do not know if that is the home of the teenager. I have a hunch it belongs to her friend, the neighbor whose kids were watching a movie? We saw teenagers being interviewed there, but still in the dark as to if the "teenager" in question is a male or female. Or if that is where the teenager lives.

Could it be that one of the cellphones was lost and that then they took all three to make it look as if the abductor took them, that's if family is involved...:waitasec:
That way when someone said, "Where's my cellphone?" Someone could say, "The kidnapper took them."

All speculation, JMOO

The child can still be alive even if pedophile took her. I recall a case where pedophile took a child and kept her in his attic. With duct tape on her. They found her alive about a week after kidnapping.

I see absolutely no good outcome at all if a male teen took that baby.

He would be scared enough now to tell if someone got him to do it for them.

Why would a male teen steal a baby girl? Certainly for no good reason.

How could a teen keep this baby healthy and safe this long? HE couldn't.

One thing that comes to mind is if one or boh parents got the teen help to get rid of the baby after an accidental death. But, I think they teen would have broke by now.

Perhaps he was in love with mother? Far fetched but is possible.

I dunno. I just don't feel it is the teen for some reason.

How far away from the house is the creek or river that I have seen mentioned in the other thread?

The drainage ditch that runs behind I's house drains into the creek. The ditch runs for approx 1 block behind the houses when it joins the creek. The creek runs along the east side of the wooded area. It is only maybe 4-6 blocks to the river from where the ditch and creek meet.

The creek is basically just run-off with a few natural springs feeding it. It is mostly only ankle high with a few pockets that might be waist high. You are not really going to hide anything in the creek. It is also running clear right now because of no rain.

On the noon news it was mentioned that LE had searched an area in Edwardsville. I knew exactly where they were because we have cut through that back area to go to Mac's (a hole-in-the-wall restaurant but they have the best food and the nicest servers). Anyway, it's mostly warehouses, etc, and there's even a sand plant. This all backs up to the river, which I don't think they showed on the news report.

Once you round the bend from Woodend, it's all residential. It goes from being really deserted to really populated pretty quickly. I've never noticed very many cars, if any, in that parking lot before.

Here's a link to where I was today.

http://www.kansasriver.org/river-access/river-map/edwardsville

There's a little area that's right near where you make the turn to head north on 9th. I never really knew what was there, so I thought I'd poke around.

There's a boat ramp which goes right into the river. There's a parking lot - pretty good-sized with yards from the houses on the north side coming right up to one side of the parking lot. There's several picnic tables and a porta-potty.

There was also a road which led to the river, but I didn't have the nerve to drive that direction. I didn't know if there was a place to turn around or not, and I have no clue what's down there but I am basically a big chicken so I skipped that part.

The river is really down. It's been raging all summer. I even noticed that you could walk pretty much all the way across the river on the east side of 435. Water One has an intake area and they divert water in this area. If anything goes in the river upstream, there's a good chance, if the water level is low, of getting hung up on this concrete/stone thing in the river.

You can move the photo around and see this on the map. There's a little red triangle next to this man-made dam.

Since I've never been on Holiday Drive in front of the dump, I thought I'd poke around. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. The dump is just s tad southeast and across the river from Edwardsville and where LE was searching. I don't think they found anything, but it was mentioned on another thread that Jeremy (is that his name?) may have worked in Edwardsville at one time.


And the dredge is gone. I looked for it but it's not there anymore.

While I would be honest and tell all to police, I wouldn't say anything publicly to news media about my grandsons mom but that's because that is their mom. Trust me, there's plenty I could say!

Not directed at you...just a general statement.

Well...when my children were babies....I referred to them as "the baby" a lot. Probably as much or more than I used their names. I can assure you that they were never abused. I love them with ever fiber of my being, and the term "the baby" was never impersonal to me, or intended to distance myself from my child.

There are exceptions to everything, and without knowing Debbie, I would not condemn her for that.

When I see that window, I'm wondering if a woman about 110 pounds got through there. That window looks very accessible to me. I could easily put my back to the house and scoot my butt partially on that brick ledge. And then just swing one leg in and then the other and not make a sound. People have actually used me a lot when they've locked themselves out and need someone to get through an open space to go inside and unlock the front door.

One speculation could be that a woman that size could have done the abduction. They are only using men for the recreation and that might not be accurate as far as noise level and ease or difficulty getting through the window.

I agree, it wouldn't be difficult imo. When my doorknob fell off I would enter and exit through my front window, or my dog door. jme

Okay, sometimes you just need a little levity. I actually laughed out loud picturing a full grown woman coming into her home, over and over, (like with groceries and stuff) through the doggy door, because the front doorknob had fallen off. ;D

Not directed at you...just a general statement.

Well...when my children were babies....I referred to them as "the baby" a lot. Probably as much or more than I used their names. I can assure you that they were never abused. I love them with ever fiber of my being, and the term "the baby" was never impersonal to me, or intended to distance myself from my child.

There are exceptions to everything, and without knowing Debbie, I would not condemn her for that.

I was just referring to parents when they are giving statement about a missing child. Sorry, I had a statement analysis explanation, but it came from a blog. When parents of missing children don't use the child's name when speaking of them, or use the name less than 10% of the time, it's said to be an indication of abuse.

I am thinking that if the parents abused Lisa that it may have been a shaken baby type incident, because there isn't reason to believe she had been abused long term.

Sorry for the confusion, I just hastily chopped my original post because I couldn't use the source that I had. I'll try to link to another site.

In the previous thread, someone had speculated that the glass might be glass bottles used for evidence collection. I don't work in a crime lab, just a research lab, but I can tell you that if we have a choice between glass and some other material, we always choose the other. ;) we live by the rule that "if it can be broken, it will be." :innocent:

Re:the baby monitor being turned off or not...when I was doing eletrophysiology with multiple-channel amps and speakers, if we had a mismatch between the channels (eg., amp set to channel 1 and spkr set to ch2), we would get static, as others have mentioned happens with baby monitors. I have only worked with 2 systems, but they both worked this way, and I ASSumed that it was a rule in electronics or audio. If so, maybe the abductor wouldn't need to be familiar with baby monitors per se, just with electronics or audio systems in general.

Does anyone remember a case not that long ago when a missing baby was found under the bed of mom's friend ,in a box. Baby was alive. I'm trying to remember the circumstances,but mom was in on it ,IIRC.

Are you thinking of Shannon Matthews in the UK? This happened the spring of 2008.

The mystery surrounded the 24-day abduction of British nine-year-old Shannon Matthews which deepened after claims that her mother was having an affair with the man suspected of kidnapping her.

The girl's disappearence sparked a major search. She was found hidden in a box at the base of a bed at a house less than two kilometres from her family home.

After she was rescued her mother wanted her back. Nine year old Shannon who was placed in a foster home was happy in her new home and adored the kitten police gave her as comfort after her ordeal.

I completely agree.

A lot of people don't refer to their babies by name, but call them "the baby". Especially when it's not the first. They have their older children, and "the baby".

agreed. My husband refers to our son as "the boy" or "son" and our daughter as "daughter".

Very rarely does he use their given names when conversing with others or with me. Our children are well loved and their daddy dotes on them, particularly "daughter" who is also sometimes "princess" and "queenie"

Statement analysis says, that when parents don't use the child's name it's an indication of abuse.

Wondered if the mom and dad would ever call Lisa by her name. I'm not saying I think Lisa was abused but not saying the child's name distances the parents.

How did she get the baby? And wasn't it an older baby,not a newborn?
Kudos to you!

She went into the family's home in the middle of the night and took the baby. I think Shannon was around 7 or 8 months old (my memory does not work well when I am sick, so I cannot remember precisely).

Baby Shannon was found under the aunt's bed in a small wooden trunk that had a few holes drilled in it for air. Her diaper had not been changed in approximately 12 hours. There was a box of baking soda inside the box in an attempt to hide or disguise any unsavory smells coming from within.

When I watched the reenactment video today, I chuckled at the guy who went in as if he were diving into a pool. It reminded me of a time when my mom got locked out of the house and had one of my brothers go through the milk-chute to open the door :D The steps from the kitchen to the landing (side door, basement) were outside the milk-chute, and my brother always remembered how he almost fell down the steps as he emerged head first from the small aperture.

I was taking issue with the statement analysis....not with you for posting it.


In Debbie's position....I would still call my child "the baby" because that's my way of speaking. To me it is an endearment, and I am Southern, so it's very common down here. "The baby" and "my baby" are used by everyone.

I think these types of analysis are just too narrow at times.

How unfair to insinuate or flat out say that the teen some are saying is "troubled" lives there! What if that info is wrong??[/

Amster- I have been on this forum for a short time and felt uncomfortable with things posted, but soon I realized that the majority of posters here are trying to help. Most don't know anyone involved in the case and when information is presented they weigh it all carefully, without the burden of preconceived opinions of the people involved. Plus we are all human so we realize that someone's 'troubled' could be someone else's 'great' when describing a kid. And those two very different views, IMO, make the analysis of evidence more thorough.

Again you guys are misreading things. Nobody said the 'teen' is troubled at all. Only that there are 'issues' in the neighborhood with this house. A teen lives there that was questioned by LE and they are looking at this backyard.

Folks need to read more carefully as no one has said anything about this specific teen.

Here are the facts:
A teen was visiting the Irwin home on Monday.
That teen was questioned
A DNA sample was taken from that teen
The teen lives in the home that is currently being searched.

A verified local has told us that there are known "issues" at that home.

That is all we know and it has been reported on. My previous post was suggesting that it would be very convenient to dump evidence near the property that is known to have "issues, within the neighborhood."

Astonishingly, not a lot of real significance has happened. LE back at Irwin place searching in and around - neighbor's yard also said to have been searched, plus a drainage ditch. The lowlight was when wfgodot made a new thread and put it in the "located" forum incorrectly.

At least you tried! The good thought was there. I stopped posting on the one thread because I knew it was way up there in posts and would shut down soon.

That's kind of the idea regarding statement analysis. A parent talking about a child that is missing, and not using the child's name distances them from the child. If they had done something to hurt the child, they might want to distance themselves.

I dont believe that, I am all about my baby and he is 6. I am always, when my baby gets home, when your brother is finished..etc.. His name is his formal name but not what I use very often.

Damn, I wish Mom would use Baby Lisa's name! I believe I have heard her refer to Baby Lisa by name only once or twice.

IMO, too much emphasis is placed on Proper Name usage (or the lack thereof).

Typically, when someone is talking about a family member to those who don't personally know that family member, they will refer to the family member as "my daughter" or "my son" or "my sister" or "my brother", or "she" or "he", or "her" or "him", etc. etc., rather than refer to that person by their name.

Conversely, when someone is discussing a family member with someone who is acquainted with that person, they will typically refer to them by their given name.

And then there are those who will refer to their family members by their given names from the minute you meet them.

One way or the other, I don't see it as a red flag or an indicator of anything nefarious.

All that came from that was that Debbie became pregnant as a teen, is still legally married to her first husband,the father of her son, but they have been separated for 4 years.

I am the same way. I rarely refer to my kids by their given names (in fact my oldest never hears his name unless he is in serious trouble) they are always "my baby" and "my brat" or "B-Bop" and "Jay".

My oldest (aka my brat) is named after a deceased grandfather at the pleadings of that grandfather's parents but after I caved and named him they couldn't use it without crying so he became "Jay". He got his middle name from my father but it is also my brothers' name so we couldn't call him that either.

My problem is with other things like , no locked door on hubbys first night at work, his demeanor, all 3 cells missing, no mention of a timeline when baby Lisa was last seen from someone other than parents, window left open, baby dresssed in clothes not Pjs...sick baby behind closed door, too high of matress in crib fro sleeping infant, no phone in bedroom, 6 yr old and kitty in bed when baby sick and needed tending to, father finding lights on curious (mother could have been up with sick baby , leaving lights on to assist him or reassure her), father's first overnight shift and on and on and on....

I'm on the fence about Baby Lisa's parents,but consider ,if she really is missing ,mom is under a lot of stress and despair. Who knows what she typically used when referring to Lisa? She would fall back on what is familiar.

Been following for a few days, first post...been thinking about what the mother claims to have said upon going to Lisa's room.

If I remember correctly, she said "She's gone!" That strikes me as odd...I have visualized several scenario's where someone or something is missing and it seems that the normal reaction is to say the person or thing is "not there". Then you would look adjacent to, or near where the person was expected to be before stating they are "gone".

"Gone" seems to apply when the missing person or thing is determined to be removed from the immediate area. I am of the opinion that the exclamation of "She's gone!" as the first statement, was an unconscious verbal slip-up.

Example of when "Gone" fits a scenario: "She's not in her crib; she's not in this room; she's not in the kitchen, the yard, etc. She's gone!"

Of course, I may be nerding out and over-analyzing words. But that is what I tend to do...

My problem is with other things like , no locked door on hubbys first night at work, his demeanor, all 3 cells missing, no mention of a timeline when baby Lisa was last seen from someone other than parents, window left open, baby dresssed in clothes not Pjs...sick baby behind closed door, too high of matress in crib fro sleeping infant, no phone in bedroom, 6 yr old and kitty in bed when baby sick and needed tending to, father finding lights on curious (mother could have been up with sick baby , leaving lights on to assist him or reassure her), father's first overnight shift and on and on and on....

Someone here reported that their car had been broken into recently. If that's a fact you would think they would be really conscious of security.

This may sound a bit off the wall but it's so common today for animal owners to put chips in their pets so if they are lost or stolen they can be located...in the very near future we may see this with all babies when they are born or with parents of toddlers who choose to do so....

I think if I had small children and it was available I would seriously consider it......it's a dangerous world out there today!!! :(

I bet you'd call your child by name if he was missing. Everyday talk at home is one thing :) but when a child is missing, I'm of the opinion the child's name should be said.


I would be asking for the return of my son, my little boy,I would probably mention his name to get it out there ,but the pleas would come from my heart and with that the loving terms I call him at home would escape my lips. Often.

I hope I really never know for sure.

Not many "my baby," "my pumpkin pie," "my ______," etc. either. "She" and "Her"---very noticeable distancing given the dire situation. For me, one too many red flags. Not buying mom's version of the evening. Nope.

One more thing about people who are interviewed, questioned and/or whose homes are searched: When the police rule them out they will be happy and relieved that they will not be viewed as a suspect or POI. So, many would welcome the interviews, the searches, and the questions. Heck, for all we know they are providing information that is even helpful to finding what actually happened to Baby Lisa.

Not off the wall, but those chips in animals have to be scanned if I am not mistaken. They are not GPS chips that can track the animal, they must be scanned by a vet or dog catcher to find out the owner.

Been following for a few days, first post...been thinking about what the mother claims to have said upon going to Lisa's room.

If I remember correctly, she said "She's gone!" That strikes me as odd...I have visualized several scenario's where someone or something is missing and it seems that the normal reaction is to say the person or thing is "not there". Then you would look adjacent to, or near where the person was expected to be before stating they are "gone".

"Gone" seems to apply when the missing person or thing is determined to be removed from the immediate area. I am of the opinion that the exclamation of "She's gone!" as the first statement, was an unconscious verbal slip-up.

Example of when "Gone" fits a scenario: "She's not in her crib; she's not in this room; she's not in the kitchen, the yard, etc. She's gone!"

Of course, I may be nerding out and over-analyzing words. But that is what I tend to do...

I would probably speak about my child as I always did. I'd beg the perp to bring home "My Baby" because to me that says it all....and that's how I referred to them when I was speaking about them to others. I still seldom use my children's names in public.

This is actually one of the very few cases where that would be of great value. People often think chips are "locators", but they aren't. You can't pinpoint the location of a dog based on his chip.

BUT, if some doubting adoptive parent had her scanned for her chip, they could learn that she was kidnapped. OR, a pediatrician when first accepting a new patient that was adopted, could be required to scan the child for a chip to see if it's legit.

It's really SO SO SO rare that babies are kidnapped and put out on the market but in this case it would be a great tool.

Two things which I think are very weak when it comes to figuring people out: "analysis" via body language, or via "statement analysis" - both examples of pop psychology, and both of which don't get the job done.

I'm on the fence about Baby Lisa's parents,but consider ,if she really is missing ,mom is under a lot of stress and despair. Who knows what she typically used when referring to Lisa? She would fall back on what is familiar.

When my son died I did some weird stuff. It's surreal and no way to describe what grief does to you. I can't even imagine what it would be like to have your baby missing .

I do understand that MissJames.

I respectfully disagreee... I closed my eyes and thought how I would be answering quesdtions to a reporter in this situation.....if you assume the reporter has knowledge of the details of the situation, I can easily see answers being framed as "we want our daughter back"..."i put her to sleep"... "we just want her back"....since everyone obviously knows to whom you are referring.

...just sayin... that doesn't trip a red flag for me.

Ok, I think we are :deadhorse::deadhorse: so I'm going to get my flogging in, too.
I don't see anything unusual with mom calling her "the baby". I think that it may be that it drives the point home that this is a helpless, defenseless person who can't take care of herself and needs help. Calling her Lisa would also be good in personalizing her but it really doesn't matter.
I call my almost 5 year old granddaughter the baby when I am talking about her. I am so old that even 20 year olds are babies to me.

I was running around crazy and my neighbor yelled out he is here... Now the backyard gate stays padlocked. I kept saying he's gone while I was the house and yard. Very scary

JMO only, What if the so called teen was involved only with the missing phones and nothing more. Maybe I am crazy but lisa missing and the phones missing could be separate and not linked to each other. Again this is just me thinking out of the box

I wondered this exact same thing but then why would they want a DNA sample from the teen? That seems a little much for stolen phones but I really don't know.

Hmm. I know they frequently lead to the death in teeny tiny puppies, in areas where it's the law that puppies be chipped at birth. Like, maltese or exceptionally small yorkie puppies. Puppies that are the size of mice, and the chip is the size of . . . like a good n plenty candy.

Human babies are bigger than the largest breed dogs, though, and I was unaware of any health issue with large breeds.

Are you talking specifically of the microteeny dogs?

Those who followed the JonBenet Ramsey case probably recall Patsy having referred to JonBenet as "that child". No endearment or intimacy in her wording. jmo

Well, Thank Goodness we haven't heard DB or JI refer to baby Lisa in those terms - because I agree, to refer to your baby as "that child" is distancing language, IMO. The word "that" is always a distancing word, and refers to something that is not near, linguistically speaking.
