Here we go again.
This is Baby Lisa.
A 10 month baby from Kansas City.
She’s been missing since October 4th.
Her parents stopped cooperating with the authorities and lawyered up on October 8th.
Wait, what?
Their 10 month old baby girl has gone missing, clearly not on her own, and they have stopped cooperating with the very people who are their best chance of finding and bringing her home? If it was my baby I’d be there every single day telling the police, the FBI, everyone whatever it is they wanted to know so as to eliminate me from their list of suspects. If I clearly had nothing to hide, nothing to do with her disappearance, let’s get me cleared so the investigators can get busy finding the baby, and who took her.
The FBI is involved. The mother failed a lie detector test. This baby is still missing. It’s another Casey Anthony story. And yet, as often as I have defended the Casey Anthony verdict, right now, it looks like the parents had something to do with the disappearance of this baby.
The parents are no longer talking to authorities, but have granted media interviews. There have been several inconsistencies in what they told investigators and what they are now telling the media.
In this country you are innocent until proven guilty, I get that. But when babies go missing we tend to look at the parents because on some level they are responsible, right or wrong.
Last night, the mother admitted in a news interview that she was drunk the night the baby went missing. She told investigators she hadn’t seen Lisa since 10:40 that night. She told the media it was closer to 6:40 and she may or may not have blacked out that night.
Today, the FBI sealed their house. The parents, up to this point, have been able to come and go as they pleased, getting whatever they needed from their home, while staying somewhere else. Today the FBI banned them from their house.
And yet, they are innocent until proven guilty.
A little girl, who hasn’t even celebrated her first birthday, is not in her home, does not sleep in her own bed, is not with her parents.
And the questions go unanswered.
Not cooperating screams guilty. Seriously. If I had a child go missing I would be there every day too, telling them everything I knew, begging them to find the child.
So sad, I hope she’s found safe.

@Miss Angie, That’s how I feel, refusing to cooperate screams I have something to hide.
And yet, our justice system says, innocent until proven guilty.

I don’t understand the family not cooperating either. First, I would know if my child was missing long before all night passes. My youngest is 14 months and I still peek in on her at night, but if by some crazy chance my baby went missing you can bet your bottom dollar I would be talking to anyone and everyone. Cooperating with anyone who came my way! I don’t like to rush to judgement but this story just doesn’t add up. I think the dad is covering for the mom

@Mama P, My girls are 12 and 14, and I still wake up if one of them is up in the middle of the night. How could someone break into a house so quietly that the parents wouldn’t hear it? And clearly someone had to come into the house if the parents didn’t do it, because that baby didn’t walk out of the house on her own.
And yet, until we know where she is, or what happened to her, we can’t point fingers with any certainty.

Re: missing child. If you were drunk, admit it. Your child is MISSING! Be honest about everything!
If you lawyer up? Ah,….bad move. Guilty much?
Forever love? Soul mate? Was divorced-he cheated. Was widowed. (failed heart transplant) Am now married. All three marriages very difficult. I never felt the soul mate connection. That is not to say I didn’t love. But that feeling of being completed? I think it is extremely rare.

@middlechild, Admit to everything, even if it looks bad, if you have nothing to hide, don’t hide anything. The faster the authorities can eliminate you, the faster they can start looking for the real kidnapper.
Forever love? Soul Mate? Thanks Mother Goose and Disney and Hollywood every romance author out there. You have given me a distorted view on love. I blame you.

Isn’t this a horribly sad story! I mean I hate to say it but I called bullshit on momma on day one! Her story seems to get fishier and fishier ever time you hear something about this baby girl. I hope that I’m wrong I really do, but it sure doesn’t seem like it. If that were my baby I’d be at the PD office every waking moment following detectives around questioning them.

@Laci, Every day it’s just something else. I want to hope the parents didn’t do it, but ya know…. when you lawyer up.. it looks like you’ve got something to hide.
