The Baby Lisa Case: Cell Phones, Timelines and Still No Answers…
Recently, there have been new developments in the Baby Lisa Case. The first new development addresses the three missing cell phones. The importance of these phones has been a mystery.
Jeremy Irwin, Baby Lisa's dad, reportedly noticed the three cell phones missing, which heightened his concern when he returned home in the early morning hours, to find the lights on. Ultimately, he found his infant missing from her crib. The police referred to those cell phones in their affidavit for the search warrant of Baby Lisa’s home. I could not determine from the affidavit the significance of those cell phones to establishing probable cause to search the house.
Apparently, a woman who lives near the neighborhood of Baby Lisa’s family received a phone call from one of those cell phones on the day of Baby Lisa’s disappearance. This woman states that she has no knowledge of this call, as several people in her home use that one cell phone. Several people sharing one cell phone? The cell phones owned by Baby Lisa’s parents were supposedly turned off for non-payment. The woman, whose cell phone supposedly received this mysterious call, admits to having dated “Jersey” - the local handyman who was a person of interest very early in the investigation. Police have interviewed and apparently cleared Jersey, who was arrested on an unrelated matter. The pieces of this puzzle just do not fit.
According to this woman, her phone was seized by the police, returned to her and then taken by the FBI. If that is correct, something changed or new information was developed. The FBI will perform forensic analysis on the phone for information that may not be on call records, but stored on the phone. This would not be the first time that a confluence of events appeared closely related but proved to be only coincidence, but it is certainly strange.
The second development is a timeline that a local news station is reporting as having come from an anonymous source, close to Baby Lisa’s family. That timeline confirms a 5 hour gap between 10:30pm and 3:30am on the night and morning of the disappearance, with no information on Baby Lisa’s status and welfare. I find no solace in that timeline. Five hours is a lot of time for anything to happen.
While all this unfolds, the parents remain estranged from the police, attorneys appear and disappear and press conferences of little value are held. This story is sad from so many perspectives.

My first impressions usually turn out to be correct, but I try to leave my mind open to new information and not 'rush to judgment'. Nothing the family has done, or is doing, has changed my first impression that the mother knows more than she is telling about her daughter's disappearance. And now, after more than a month, I have two theories: first is that this was a baby-sale that was poorly thought out but all the parties involved are keeping quiet (money doesn't always talk) or the second, which is sadder, that the child died on Oct 3 or 4 and has been disposed of by at least more than one person.

Thanks for joining us and sharing your thoughts.
This is the most succinct article/opinion post I've read to-date. Good work. Thanks for keeping it professional. My utmost concern is for the child's welfare. Sold - bad decision by parents, Kidnapped - tragic for child and parents, Dead - how and why and who (all) is responsible?
