So whatever happened to Baby Lisa?
I confess that I've gotten caught up in following the latest cute-white-girl-gone-missing story. I usually don't pay any attention to these, but this one caught my eye from day 1 because I happened to be on vacation and the other couple in the beach house had turned on the TV the day she disappeared, and I saw the crying mother. And of course as a parent of a daughter, it pulls at my heartstrings.
There are links to the story all over the place, though I didn't look to find one that has a timeline of the case. Short version of the basic and undisputed facts for those who haven't been following along at home:
But the break-in and abduction scenario doesn't make much sense either. Who takes a 10-month-old? The typical baby abduction is that of an infant that the abductor can then pass off as her own. Kinda hard to introduce a 10-month-old into the family unless, I guess, you try to claim adoption. *shurg* And the police attempted to re-create how a person could have gotten in a particular window that appeared possibly tampered with, and had great difficulty doing it. I assume that the police have verified that the father didn't leave work until shortly before he says he returned home, so he wouldn't have had time to help or be the guilty party. So I'm kind of left with the same "wtf" feeling that the cops are projecting publicly about this one.

This isn't new info (it was posted on the 7th), and there's really nothing here to answer your question, but I regularly follow this blog and there's some interesting info in here about cold cases involving unsolved child abductions involving non-family members. They are rare, but they happen.

No doubt in my mind the mom had something to do with it.

* and it's on the tv when I go to lunch, I haven't really followed it in great detail, but too many things sound fishy and has this "heard this all before" vibe. |

Oh yes, agreed. It's certainly possible. It just seems unlikely. And I guess that's what has had me continuing to follow this story--the fact that both alternatives seem very unlikely to me.

Seeing as though they have a warrant to search the house right now, when the lawyer and family are claiming they don't need one, suggests the cops have some reason to believe someone in the family is involved and they don't want to screw anything up procedurally if/when they find evidence or a body.

I actually have quite a bit of inside info on this case.
1. The police are 100% positive that the mom is responsible. 2. When the police went to replicate the incident the way the parents say it happened, they found cobwebs on the escape window that should have been disturbed if it happened as the parents said it did. 3. The parents said that the person that broke in went through the house after they got the baby, turning on the lights and taking three cell phones. Doesn't make much sense if you're target is the baby. 4. The family has retained the same lawyer that worked for Van der Sloot (Holloway case in Aruba). No one will say who's paying those bills, but you likely don't retain that kind of a lawyer unless you expect to be a defendant. 5. There was initially a search where they considered draining a well a week or so ago. The FBI told the police to stop that search before the well was drained. The FBI wouldn't do that unless they have a pretty good idea where the baby might be. |

When the mom states publicly she expects to be arrested, she did it. She's just trying to garner sympathy and misdirect the media to a supposed "witch hunt" against the mom, since there's no public info out there to directly connect her with it.

Sure, but I'm just talking about the difficulty in this particular case of *hiding* the body, not of committing the crime and getting away with it. Wasn't that the case where she had some time to hide the body, and may have had help doing it? This lady was drunk, had no car, and had a few hours max. Sure, it's possible, but it seems far more likely that this chick would have left an easy trail to follow.

Well, they brought a metal detector onto the property, so it may be as smple as burying the body on the grounds, just hiding it well. She also might have had the husband's help.
She might have been drinking, but I'm inclined to believe she's exaggerating a bit to set up a plausible "I did it but didn't know what I was doing" defense, or to explain how all of this could have happened and she was completely out of it.

I don't know how big the property is or what is beyond the border of their property. They apparently marked off half a block around the house. Really depends on the terrain, etc., I would guess.
The other thing is, this makes it sound like perhaps they have some specific information to look for a certain type of item. Although they've probably done a search, this is a search based on warrant, which tells me they think they might find something and/or have specific info to target the search: Quote:

Interesting, Ksyrup. Makes sense to some degree. They've had a number of searches that they've claimed/admitted were based on little/no indication that they'd find anything, so maybe this one is different.

The police are meeting today and Baby Lisa is guaranteed to be found by next Tuesday at the latest.

Sorry, that's a joke related to MizzouBBFan's continued pronouncements in the Realignment/Expansion thread and the fact that for the 105th time in the past 18 months, Mizzou is definitely leaving the Big 12.

WTF?
So a guy sees someone walking around with a baby at 4am ... and a couple of women see a guy walking around with a baby a few hours earlier? So someone kidnaps a baby then walks around with her in the neighborhood for two hours?? I think all these people might be drinkin somethin.

This might explain the recent police activity around the house:

I still like the theory she had the baby in bed and rolled over on her (she's ... epically huge) and is going to use the drinking as an excuse (doubt she was drinking) and dumped the body out of "panic/daddy issues" ala Casey Anthony.

Interesting bit: Quote:
Does that mean that they've found DNA of someone else who possibly "didn't belong there" in the house?

Dola:
Would it also be safe to assume that it could just be DNA from a friend they had over to play?

I haven't heard the unidentified man yet, but haven't heard anything about the story for about a week. I'm guessing to eliminate him and/or friends ... but then again, "DNA evidence" would most likely be bodily fluids? |

2. Would a sneeze from a playmate with a cold spray DNA all over the place? (I don't know, but I'd think so.)

So what I find most interesting about that story is that it sounds like the most of the critical times would be fairly easy for law enforcement to verify. There is one thing that's not clear, though...

At this point, anything is possible, I think. If we ever find out what really happened, I wouldn't be surprised it was something pretty abnormal from a kidnapping perspective.

I thought this was about Baby Lisa, until I just realized that Missouri must be the epicenter of phantom babynappings.

Watching the family on Dr. Phil today. This is certainly the "all in" moment for the death penalty if they did it. I also wonder who would want a child from such below average people .

I think that's referred to as Lenny Briscoe Syndrome.
