Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is sending members of the National Guard to Kansas City to help search for a missing baby.
Nixon said Saturday that 25 members of a
guard police company will help look for Lisa Irwin, who was 10 months
old when she was reported missing Oct. 4. Her parents say she
disappeared from her crib sometime overnight.
Authorities also said today diapers found at
a vacant Missouri house near where a missing baby was last seen have
been there for quite some time, Fox News confirms.
A backpack was reportedly found along with
the diapers but Kansas City Police Department's Steve Young said that it
is not unusual to find such items when searching an abandoned house,
but authorities will investigate it further.
Young also confirms that a handyman named
Johnny Tanko, known as "Jersey," to the community has been taken into
custody on a federal warrant but that he is not a suspect in the case of
missing 10-month-old Lisa Irwin.
An anonymous donor offered a $100,000 reward
for the return Lisa or information that leads to the conviction of
anyone involved in her disappearance, according to a security consultant
who says the donor also hired him to get involved in the case.
Bill Stanton, a New York-based security
consultant for television networks, refused Friday to say who the donor
was or how the reward would be administered.
Stanton, 47, also has not been clear about
his role in Lisa Irwin's disappearance, often referring to himself as a
private investigator, but then saying he is in Kansas City as a
consultant. He is not licensed in Missouri to work as a private
investigator.
"I hope this opens up someone's heart or
someone's eyes and they realize this is serious, and we get Lisa home
safe and sound," Stanton said at a news conference in front of the
family's home, where the 10-month-old child was reported missing on Oct.
4.
"If someone brings that kid right now and
says they found this child sitting on a park bench. They bring that kid
right here, they get $100,000," he said.
No members of Lisa's family were at the news conference.
Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley reported
their daughter missing after Irwin returned from a late shift at work.
The parents say she must have been abducted from her crib while her
mother and two brothers slept.
Police and federal authorities have
conducted extensive searches, including of several areas near the
family's home. They also have questioned the baby's parents at length.
Police have said there are no suspects in the case and they have no
major leads.
FBI
agents searched areas around the family's home again Friday in what FBI
spokeswoman Bridget Patton said was an effort to double-check areas
that had already been searched at least once.
Det. Kevin Boehm, coordinator of Kansas
City's Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline, a nonprofit community organization
that has been fielding hundreds of calls on the missing baby case, said
the Hotline hasn't been contacted about the $100,000 reward.
TIPS offers up to $1,000 for any information that leads to an arrest, he said.
Boehm said individuals can offer their own
rewards, but supplemental rewards are typically offered to generate more
awareness when a case has gone cold or interest in the case begins to
die down.
Interest in Lisa's disappearance has not
waned, he said. The Hotline has been receiving a steady stream of calls
since the baby was reported missing.
"We haven't entertained the idea of a supplemental reward at this point," he said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Lisa Irwin Day 10 - What You May Have Missed
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—
Ten days after baby Lisa Irwin went missing, police continue to seek any information that may help find the little girl.Police have scoured wooded areas, landfills, abandoned properties, even drainage ditches and dumpsters, in hopes of finding something that would lead to her whereabouts. Irwin was absent from her family the day she turned 11 months old on Tuesday, Oct. 11.
Neighbors near the Irwin family home on North Lister said police have knocked on doors, asking about a man who goes by the name “Jersey.” According to neighbors, he works as a handyman.
Capt. Steve Young said he cannot confirm that police are looking for the handyman, only that police continue to actively contact people who are "frequents" to the area near the Irwin home.
Grocery Store Surveillance Video
Earlier this week grocery store surveillance video of Lisa’s mother, Deborah Bradley, was released, showing her with an unidentified man buying boxed wine, paper plates and napkins the afternoon prior to Lisa being reported missing. However, police said the surveillance video will not likely lead to a resolution in the case.
Rebecca Guerrero, a clerk who frequently sees Bradley in the store, told CNN in an interview that police questioned her about Bradley's deamonor, asking her if Bradley seemed depressed. Guerrero said Bradley never seemed depressed and would always say the kids were great when asked.
'Wild' Bill Stanton
While the parents, Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, spoke with local and national media in the first few days after Lisa went missing, they have since scaled back their public appearances. Instead, well-known New York private investigator, ‘Wild’ Bill Stanton announced Tuesday night he will be speaking on their behalf.
In a late-night press conference, Stanton told media camped outside an Irwin family home, that he had been asked to do an independent investigation. However, on Wednesday Stanton said he will be acting as the family’s consultant. Stanton is not licensed to act as a private investigator in the state of Missouri and therefore could be prohibited from doing his “own investigation,” as he first mentioned.
On Wednesday, Stanton said he was not hired by the family, but was brought in by a ‘wealthy benefactor,’ who wishes to remain anonymous.
"I don't want this story to be about who hired me," he said. "It's a person who wishes to remain anonymous. They're not here for notarity. That's why it's called anonymous. There is no great mystery to this. The person cares about the child, and that's the main focus of all of this."
Baby Lisa is described as white, with blond hair and blue eyes, about 30 inches tall and weighing 26-30 pounds. Her family said that she has two bottom teeth, a small bug bite under her left ear, a beauty mark on her right outer thigh.
The family says that she was last seen wearing purple shorts and a purple shirt with white kittens on it.
Anybody with information in her disappearance is asked to call the TIPS Hotline at (816) 474-TIPS.
