Thoughts on missing 11-month old Lisa Irwin
Based on stories and events in media it seems apparent there are many things that do not add up in this missing baby case. There are questions that do not have answers and the main question is, where is Lisa Irwin? This question is on the minds of everyone following this case. Many individuals believe that Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin are hiding details that might lead police to their missing baby. Why, they refuse separate interviews. Normally a parent that wants to find out what happened to their missing child will speak to authorities anytime.
However, Deborah and Jeremy refuse to speak alone. This alone sends red flags to police and people following the case. This makes them look guilty and looks like they have something to hide. Deborah Bradley and Jeremy claim exhaustion for some of their actions. This brings up the issue of not doing all they can to find Lisa Irwin. Most people believe that no matter how tired or exhausted you are when it comes to finding your missing child you keep going no matter how you feel.
A cadaver dog picked up a scent in Deborah’s bedroom but some claim the scent could have been there for years. Maybe that is the case but has anyone checked to see if anyone died in the home in previous years? How long has the carpet been on the floor of Deborah’s home? These questions need answering too.
Deborah Bradley admitted to drinking and taking medication the night her 11-month-old daughter Lisa Irwin disappeared. A good parent will not drink enough to get drunk especially when her daughter is sick let alone not check on him or her for hours. This alone sends chills up people’s spines to think a parent could be this irresponsible.
One scenario could be Lisa Irwin died by accident and the parents Deborah and Jeremy panicked and decided to cover it up because Deborah had been drunk. Another scenario might Deborah took Lisa to bed with her and she fell out of bed hitting her head and Deborah knew nothing until Jeremy came home. It could also be that this baby was abducted in the middle of the night. Either scenario is devastating. It’s just hard to believe that a baby disappears without a trace and no clues to her whereabouts.
What really happened to Lisa Irwin? Let’s hope police find a lead that answers this question. Hopefully Lisa Irwin is found alive and not dead. This little baby needs to be returned if she was kidnapped and if she was killed by accident or on purpose, the person needs to be bought to justice.
