Where Is Lisa Irwin? Missing Baby’s Mother Failed Lie Detector Test [Video]
Late last night Stephanie Precourt reported that the parents of missing 10-month-old Lisa Irwin were no longer cooperating with police. Not more than an hour after police made that statement Lisa’s aunt, Ashley Irwin, made a statement saying the family has “never stopped cooperating with the police” and that “the main goal has always been to find Lisa and bring her home.”
Lisa Irwin was discovered missing at 4am Monday morning by her dad as he returned home from work. She had last been seen by her mother when she put the baby down to bed. Investigators have been working the case as abduction. Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley have consistently said that their daughter was taken from her crib in the middle of the night while Jeremy Irwin was working an overnight shift and Bradley was sleeping.
According to a NBC’s Peter Alexander, Lisa’s parents have also revealed new details about what happened the morning their daughter went missing. They say that when Irwin returned home from work Monday morning the front door was unlocked, a window was open, lights in the house were on. Additionally, the parents claim that along with their daughter, three cell phones were missing. This morning Irwin and Bradley appeared on the TODAY show to talk with Matt Lauer about their cooperation with police and a failed lie detector test. Continue reading »
Person of Interest Interviewed in Jonathan Foster Case

Jonathan Foster
ABC13 Houston is reporting that police have taken a person of interest into custody in connection with the disappearance of 12-year-old Jonathan Foster. The news outlet says, “Houston police are still waiting for official identification from the Medical Examiner’s Office, but investigators are proceeding as if a burned body found… is that of Jonathan Foster.”
Sad news, to be sure. Houston police have extensively interviewed Foster’s mother and step-father, and their Mercedes-Benz was towed yesterday, though police have not said why. Foster’s mother, Angela Davis, told police, “I got two phone calls at work. My job told me that my son called one time saying it was an emergency, and I never got that call. The second time I got a phone call from my boss. She said that it was a lady, and by the time I got to the phone they hung up.”
According to Detective Fil Waters, though, Davis’ account leaves out a phone call she made. Continue reading »
Helping A Child Can Get You Arrested
In a ridiculous abduction case going on in Florida, a 14-year-old boy has been arrested for “kidnapping” a 3-year-old girl because he tried to help her find her mother after coming across her lost in a department store.
Edwin, who the Sun Sentinel identifies only by his first name, was shopping with his mother when he saw a little girl wandering alone looking for her mom. Surveillance videos captured what happened next: Edwin spoke to the little girl, and offered to help her find her mom. He got his own mother involved, and the two of them began looking for the girl’s mom.
Seeing a group of women standing outside the door, in the mall, Edwin walked out of the store with the little girl following to see if her mom was among them. She wasn’t, so they returned to the store, where they located the mother and returned the child.
End of story, right? Wrong.
In the meantime, the mom had urged a store employee to call 911, and when police arrived on the scene, they arrested Edwin for kidnapping and led him out of the mall in handcuffs, paraded in front of TV reporters.
Girl Found After 15 Years
Of the 797,500 children reported missing in any given year, 203,900 of those are abducted by a family member, often in the midst of a messy divorce. Most of these cases last a few months before the child is returned to the custodial parent, and only 6 percent of children abducted by a parent are found more than six months past their disappearance, according to statistics from the US Department of Justice.
That’s what makes the case of Jessica Click-Hill such an anomaly. Her mother, Wendy Hill, was arrested this week fifteen years after she disappeared with her then 8-year old daughter.
Jessica, who no longer goes by that name, is now 22 and lives in a different state than her mother. Continue reading »
Woman Cuts Pregnant Woman’s Stomach with Box Cutter to Steal Unborn Child
29-year-old Teka Adams is recovering from an emergency birth after a Maryland woman held her captive for days and attempted to cut the fetus out of her stomach.
At a shelter for pregnant woman, Adams befriended 40-year-old Veronica Deramous. Deramous lured Adams back to her apartment with the promise of free baby clothes. Once there Deramous bound the third-trimester mother’s hands and then held her in a bedroom for a number of days. According to police, Deramous employed her 17-year-old son’s help in binding the younger woman.
Missing Florida Baby Found Alive Under Babysitter’s Bed

But in a mysterious twist, police did find her safe and sound — tucked into a box and hidden under her babysitter’s bed.
