I searched for a sightings thread and only found one and it had been closed.
Wasn't sure where to put this, so if you know of a thread please alert on my post and ask a mod to merge? TIA!

Family of similar child is caught in baby Lisa nightmare
Since Northland girl vanished, police and strangers have demanded Overland Park parents prove identity of their child.
O-M-G, people are actually getting close enough to this child to do that? No, no, no! Call it in!
This Mom presented her child's insurance card, vaccination records...etc. To LE and proved that it was her child. She wasn't upset she was glad that people were looking for Lisa.
But...
She had another woman follow her from department to department in a Walmart.
She didn't get the cops called on her that time because her baby looks like Lisa but...
. But within a few days, she was again explaining herself to officers, who stopped her as she left a grocery store.
Okay, I am so glad that people in Kansas (and other states) are looking for Lisa. It makes me feel very good to know that. That she hasn't been forgotten.
But c'mon, who in the right mind thinks it's okay to walk up and touch an unknown baby just to satisfy your curiosity that this is not Lisa?
I don't blame this Mom for being scared. Back when we had sightings of another child in 2008 (that child was later found deceased and her mother aquitted of murdering her) we actually had some posts here where it was said if the person saw a child that looked like that missing (now deceased child) they would snatch the child and run. And then go to the police.
I kid you not.
So please please just call. Don't touch, don't follow, don't engage the person with the baby that is thought to be Lisa in convo---just call it in (posted for people who read here but aren't members).
Wow. I pray that Lisa is found, but I also pray this family gets a break.

Family of similar child is caught in baby Lisa nightmare
Since Northland girl vanished, police and strangers have demanded Overland Park parents prove identity of their child.
Then three older women surrounded her.
How old is your baby? they asked. One of them pulled down Lucys blanket and lifted the babys dress to inspect her legs.
O-M-G, people are actually getting close enough to this child to do that? No, no, no! Call it in!
This Mom presented her child's insurance card, vaccination records...etc. To LE and proved that it was her child. She wasn't upset she was glad that people were looking for Lisa.
But...
But then it happened again. And again. Five times in all, Amy and her husband, David, have had to prove to law enforcement officers that they are indeed Lucys parents.
She had another woman follow her from department to department in a Walmart.
She didn't get the cops called on her that time because her baby looks like Lisa but...
. But within a few days, she was again explaining herself to officers, who stopped her as she left a grocery store.
They took her baby from her while other shoppers stared at her. The officers searched her grocery bag and looked at her receipt.
They encourage people with tips to call the Tips Hotline at 816-474-8477 (TIPS) so the information will be routed directly to them.
Amy said she wants people who think they have spotted Lisa to call police, but not try to touch the baby or insult the parents.
