Ashley Irwin called Bradley's arrest "inevitable" because, "It's what the police do. They don't have any leads, so they have to pin it on somebody."
So here we are a week since baby Lisa's disappearance, and the family is once again at odds with police. The Kansas City police disputed Ashley Irwin's claim.
"It's an absurd notion," Capt. Steve Young told Good Morning America. "We're not offended by it because it's so far from reality. We're under pressure to find a child. We're not under pressure to pin this on anybody or wrap it up and make an arrest."
In the interview, Ashley Irwin said she has no doubt that Bradley and Jeremy Irwin are innocent.
"Anybody who spends any time with them, you know it's not true. She's genuine — she loves that child," Ashley Irwin told GMA. "It's her baby … she would never do anything to hurt her."
Last Thursday, police said baby Lisa's parents quit cooperating with their investigation. Bradley told the national news that police had blamed her and claimed that she failed a lie-detector test. However, the parents began meeting with police again on Saturday.
A Clay County grand jury has subpoenaed footage from Fox 4, KSHB, KCTV5 and KMBC, seeking "footage of any interviews … given by neighbors, family or friends of the family."
Fox 4 reported that police found a receipt from the Festival Foods grocery store at Interstate 35 and Chouteau Trafficway. Detectives requested to see surveillance video, which Fox 4 reported showed Bradley and an unidentified man buying a box of wine, paper plates and napkins. It was recorded around 5 p.m. last Monday, about five hours before Bradley told police that she put baby Lisa to bed.
After seeing the video, authorities searched a fence line near the Irwin home but came up empty, Fox 4 reported.
Baby Lisa hasn't been seen since she was in her crib last Monday night around 10:30. Police believe she was abducted from her home at 3620 North Lister, possibly by someone who entered the home through an unlocked bedroom window, between 10:30 p.m. Monday and 4 a.m. Tuesday.
Lisa is described as having blue eyes and blond hair. She is 30 inches tall and weighs about 30 pounds. She was last seen wearing purple shorts and a purple shirt with kittens on it.
Lisa has two bottom teeth, a small bug bite under her left ear and a birthmark on her right outer thigh. She also has a cough with a cold.

its not the KC Star nor any other news agency that frustrating the viewers. newspapers an news agency report on what is given to them an they keep it alive hoping someone will come forwards an no one has .only thing that has come forwards is the firing of a attorney who was doing this case as a freebie . the parents of this baby isn't doing anything to find their baby Deborah Bradley was drunk she took anxiety pill she passed out she cant remember what she did with her baby.or does she an she hiding with the fact that she either dropped the baby or feed the baby the wine an the baby died of alcohol poisoning she Deborah Bradley panic. Deborah Bradley took the anxiety pill because she was freaking out an to calm herself an wait for Jeremy Irwin to come home. Jeremy Irwin panic as well he thought of his son an to protect Deborah he took charge an he placed the baby in his van where the police had no reason to search he was at work as for the cell phones they hid them they probably was placed in the van as well.the number she Deborah Bradley called that night was anyone guess.Deborah out of her desperation she started dialing a number an figured out it was a wrong number. at one time baby Lisa was near by for her to say to the police she didn't go in the backyard for the fear of what she may find.this is what so frustrating to us all we have been thru this with the Anthony case this baby was so close as well to find her in a trash bag with duct tape around her head an face in a spillway so close to home .
I get a gut feeling this baby was disposed of in the water. I don't know why but I just feel it in my gut. I just think of the Casey Anthony case of how she knew to put the baby where she did knowing it flooded and would cover the body and wash all evidence away. So far they searched a well and a creek. So they think that the baby is by the water or in the water as well. I know without a doubt that this baby is dead and that the mother had something to do with it. I hate it when people say she was a great mother and would never hurt her child. People have said this about many other mothers who have hurt or killed their children. I wanted to believe little Lisa Irvin was alive for a few days but when days turned to weeks my hope was dashed. I hope the father if innocent and I think he is is given a proper chance to bury his daughter.
I'm not siding with the mom, cause I think otherwise, but the unidentified man was identified as her brother. Kansas City has a nasty criminal adoption ring....I wonder if the authorities have thought of that? Probably have.
I hope my life is never in the hands of Clay County police. Jackman is you pencil sharpened? This could be your followup to Bob Berdella!
casey anthony is guilty as hell and this woman probley did the same thing and thinking shes gonna get away with it to what happen to justice for these children dont understand they need to rott in hell for what theyve done
There are so many good comments here - and so many good theorys. I think we are all quite jaded by the Casey Anthony's and the Susan Smith's of this world. I have tried to not place blame or judge anyone until I see some type of irrefutible evidence. With that said: my heart believes that the woman killed her baby and disposed of it somewhere. Maybe it was an accident, but I cannot realistically buy a story where there are 2 children and 1 adult sleeping "nearby" and did not hear or see anything. Has anyone talked to the other children that were present in the house? Seems like that could produce some interesting evidence also.
My guess is that the "strange" man Deborah was seen with in the store buying wine could be the missing link in this case. The fact that nothing about him has been reported, at least that "I'VE" seen, lends credence to this as police and investigators deliberately keep this info VERY close to the vest. Like some of the other comments, boy, if one of my 3 boys went missing like poor baby Lisa, I'd be like a wild, crazy, maniac in searching for him. Thankfully, they are now 27, 23 and 18! I love you Mike, William and Rian! God bless the Irwin ad Bradley families and; in Jesus' name, I pray baby Lisa comes home safely. Amen!!!
Maybe dad looks the was he does because he is so angry at the mom for her poor judgement. I would be furious if my husband left a window open or a door unlocked and baby was missing. Perhaps the mom looks guilty because she feels ashamed of her lack of protection for her baby. Did mom leave lights on in the house, or did the "perp" turn them on? Did mom leave the door unlocked or is that the way the "perp" left after taking baby Lisa. Maybe there was more than one "perp" that took the baby, made it easier for an escape? Or maybe the parents are involved? I just pray for Lisa's safe return!!! As for the Aunt, well, I think she means well. Hope the police are looking at all possibilities, to include the parents. Sure would like to hear the 911 call and the mother's first police interview.
The lie detector test was a botch-up move. It says nothing other than police were trying to rattle her into making a stressed/cross-statement that they could use to incriminate her under an extremely-pressured, wired-up interrogation.
Often during police interrogations of this extreme nature, interrogators use cunning language to put words in the mouth of the one under (spanish/italian-style) inquisition, that the one being interrogated, DID NOT SAY.
The one who is less educated, and often impoverished, always looses because, the interrogators are putting on theatre and show, that feature their many theories, trying to make their theory stick. It is the same drama, theatrically and technically and psychologically as a pious Arch Bishop, who is overly educated and skilled at debate-techniques, acting to feature and exalt themselves (alpha dog in a group of 9 or 10) as wiser than the ignorant and under educated. As stating the obvious is often true, and everyone else in the room agrees who is wiser than the ignorant and under educated, a trick of persuasion is achieved. Conceding that point, it does not mean anything about liability and guilt. It simply means the wiser dog is showing their alpha-prowess; even as the group has many skilled interrogators walking about and going from room to room, scene of the crime, windows, wells and forests wide.
The impoverished are always caste down upon. But to attach wires to their body and head ... theatre of the absurd. Exalting the Inquisition. All Hail the Pompous Cardinal's, Chief Inquisitor - Bernardo Gui.
I am sad for this young man and his missing child. Pray it be the will of our benevolent Father, He caste the witch out of this woman! Bring in the wires. Strap her arms to the chair!!

I feel as though there is something fishy with this case.... what parent, if they have a child with a cold/cough, would leave the child's bedroom window open as cold as it can get at night? There are too many weird variables with this case, and as someone also previously stated, when the mother was with this man buying boxed wine, where was the baby and other 2 kids? I have a one-year-old and RARELY am able to go to the store without her... were the kids with other family members or a friend? If so, when were the children picked up? Did this mystery man go back home with the mother? Was she drunk or drugged and the man took the child after the mom passed out? I don't know, and I hate to judge, but I feel like there is a bit of carelessness involved. If something by some chance did accidentally go terribly wrong while the mother was home, I would hope that she would accept what she did and just tell the police the truth, rather than waste their time sending them on a wild goose chase. I can't imagine what it would be like if I lost my daughter.... I would be in the crazy house for sure. Prayers and thoughts to Baby Lisa.
There is something odd about the picture where she is leaning on her husband's chest. Why isn't he comforting her? Why are his hands still in his jacket pockets? The body language is off. I hate to automatically blame her, but something isn't right and I feel as if the husband knows it. She is very young to be saddled with three children, two of which are not even hers. And truth be told, the boys look like a handful in the picture. My guess (and hope) is that she was planning an escape but something went wrong. Please Lord, let that baby be alive.
here's my theory based upon this new found information.....woman wants to be with new guy(guy she was seen with in grocery store)......wants the baby to be with her. My understanding is that the boys are not hers.....they are from a previous relationship from the baby's father. She takes baby, gives baby to the man who she was seen with in the grocery store. She plans on eventually leaving the father of Lisa to be with new guy and her baby and disappears off into sunset to live happily ever after. I so hope this was the plan since that would mean the baby is still alive! But, how amazing is that that the police found the receipt! Just goes to show, our police force is on top of things. This is truly a break in the case as far I can tell! I think the police are downplaying the evidence to make sure they have a solid case against her.....but most importantly, I'm sure before they would make an arrest they would want to find the baby first. I think they probably already have a motive in the works already. Kudos to our police force. Keep up the good work!
I'm not sure, but I think this house was several blocks away from Lisa's home.
They didn't find anything in the well, but I'm still wondering if this is the same abandoned home Sarah wrote of...
Hope the police are investigating the "homeless" man that was in the area, also the tip from the neighbor seeing a man carrying a baby in the middle of the night! Time is of the essence! The parents seems suspicious, but that isn't the only possiblity.
Sarah, I sure hope you have reported this to the tips hotline or local police! This information could be very vital to the search!! Please contact them asap if you haven't already!!
Firefighters are searching a well behind a vacant home a couple blocks from the Irwin home, is this the same area Sarah was talking about?
SARAH, PLEASE CALL THE POLICE WITH YOUR INFORMATION! THIS COULD BE THE BREAK IN THE CASE THEY NEED!!!
Sarah please report what you saw to the police! It may be nothing....but it may be something!
Wow, a lot of you are naive enough to believe the police won't arrest someone without "proof"? Look what happened with the Jon Benet Ramsey investigation - the police were so certain the parents did it that they completely screwed up the so-called investigation so much that crime will NEVER be solved!!! All of you speak like you have so much knowledge of what you'd do in this situation. You all better pray you're never put to the test!
Lots of questions on this one and I say lots of suspicions. Hope the police have more information and are just holding back, so that Lisa can be found soon. I pray she will be alive and well. Mom at grocery store buying wine and paper plates and napkins at 5 pm? Where were children? What time did dad go to work? Was is scheduled by his employer or did he ask to work this particular night? Did mom get drunk and do something negligent? What about the man she was at store with, did he hurt baby Lisa or did he kidnap her? Who is he? And what about a phone call/text at 2:30 am? And for those cop-haters out there, that think police like to pin things on people...they really do want the right person to pay for a crime...and they really do want to find a missing baby alive and well, I wish everyone would stop with the police bashing.
Yes, in a perfect world, the baby would be found alive, picked up by an out of it family member that had an awkward ambition. However we live in this world and we know accidents happen, especially at home. Most of us (I hope), would just call 911 from a neighbors home (even at night), after any type of accident. I truly believe this Mother decided to take another route though and dispose of the body, probably because she just could not live with the fact that she was slightly imperfect. They need to look in the Missouri river, it is only a quarter mile away. Most likely though something will turn up someway it always does. The cops will not go on just a hunch, they are smart. People including me want closure, we need to be patient though. Rarely (it happens though), does anyone escape the long arm of the law.
She probably watched the Casey Anthony trial and thought "Shit , i could pull this off too!!" Most people in their 20s think they are invicible and dont have to be responsible for their actions.
Sarah, you posted above that you saw some things happen and people come and go on the night the baby is reported to have disappeared. I hope you have reported your knowledge to the police, as they need all the information everyone has to try to locate the baby. You may be the only one who saw what you did, and your statements will be important to the police.
hi its aweful, but i do think the mother nows something @ 10:15 that night i drove past piengiun park and noticed a woman in a blue hoody holding a baby wraped in a green blanket i couldn't see any moore then that because it was dark but she was walking toward piengwin park from cypress
its really sad, i drive down vivion every night at the same time. i say if i was a cop i would check that abondoned house across the street from the park on vivion,, i hope they find the baby ok
I think back to when my daughter was a baby, I would be going absolutely crazy if something like this happened! I know everybody has different reactions, but, a mother's love is like nothing else! I would go to the ends of the earth to find my baby! If she did do this, the truth is going to come out!
What do we know so far, mother alone in house, didnt they say the lights were on and a door open when the father got home WHO leaves a window open at night in the babys room I sure wouldnt and if its true about the wine and the store they need to find that man and WHAT about the picture with those 2 boys and her in the window she looks frightened to me but at this point you have to take everything into consideration and they said the Husband was cleared, HOW do they know this they could of hired someone orr have a friend do something with her and what about there phones they need to go back to the store and look for them in case they threw them away in that store hmmm Hope they check it all
I sure pray that little one is safe, and this isn't going to be another terrible mess like the Casey Anthony sitution.
They are going to arrest her on a failed polygraph. Giving someone a polygraph under heavy stress can often produce a false positive. Not that I have any idea if she is innocent, but if she is, giving her a polygraph while her baby is missing is just asking for trouble. I hope the cops have more evidence than that or this just became a huge clusterfuck.
Besides the mother, who actually saw the baby last and when was that?
if the cops are "pinning" it on you chances are they are going off of more then just a hunch! You dirty box wine drinker with an unknown man...why arent the cops tho trying to or reporting on who the unknown man...i want some answers damnit!
Before I comment I will say a prayer for all parents and all children, and before you ever say something nasty, hope you never have to face this situation....
So, buying box wine with an unidentified man hours before baby lisa was supposedly last seen. Where was the baby during this purchase? If that is not her husband and the baby was not with them it doesnt look good.
I don't get why parents would suddenly stop cooperating with the police if they have nothing to hide - you would think they would be doing anything possible to find their child.
If Deborah and Jeremy are so innocent, why aren't they the ones distributing flyers, talking to people, proactively searching for their baby. If Deborah "didn't care" what folks "thought" about her, why is she and her husband holing up in self-pity and only talking to major networks? THAT is what does not make sense in the public eye, IN SPITE of the solid information that does not add up!
The police are not "pinning" anything on anybody. They follow leads. Period! They are invested in finding Lisa or figuring how what happened to her. If leads point to the parents, deal with it! Remember who the victim is here - Lisa Irwin, a now 11-month-old, innocent child!
I'm have NO idea if she is guilty or innocent, but yeh they can pin it on her. It's all circumstantial, but its possible cause she was the last one seen with the baby. Innocent people go to jail all the time. There was a man from Texas who has been in jail over 20 years for his wife's murder cause he was the last one with her before he left for work. Now there is DNA testing done that wasnt done before. Come to find out it was the work of a serial killer. hmmm. makes you think. The odds of a stranger abducting is less likely but all the more its still likely. Innocent until proven guilty but Casey Anthony has gotten everybody seeing guilty.
Aunt is a law student...talk about bad publicity for her nonexistent career. She is nuts.
I agree they dont just PIN IT without PROOF of a reason to connect the mom.
This aunt is a fucking moron and someone needs to take the mics away from her. Cops don't just randomly pin baby abductions on people. In all reality the mother probably did have something to do with it and if the police do arrest her I'm sure it won't be on a hunch.
