Reporter: Jeremy, as we understand, you came home in the overnight hours. What did you find at 4 a.m., when you walked in the door?
JI: When I came home from work, the front door was unlocked, most of the lights were on in the house, and the window was, in the front, was open. Obviously, all very unusual and then I started checking on the kids. Checked on the boys first, and then we checked on her, thats when we realized she was gone.
Reporter: Can you imagine Jeremy, or remember, anyone that would want to take your daughter, who would want to harm you, or anything like that?
DB: No.
JI: No.

I hope thats what it is.

DB: Um, um, I, the, I just try to tell them that were gonna stay strong, were a family, were gonna pray, and, uh, shes gonna come home. That we have to be strong for her.
Reporter: I understand that you were showing pictures to the boys and you call her Pumpkin Pie. Can you talk to us about that and about what the boys are saying, what they are wondering?
DB: Um
JI: They just every time we talk to somebody, the police or anything, they run up and give us a hug and say, Did they find her yet? We always tell them, Not yet, not yet. Thats the only thing we know to tell them. Its
Reporter: Can you talk about whats in your hand here?

DB: No. No. Its like they just walked in and just g, just disappeared.
JI: They took her and took all of our phones so we couldnt call anybody.
Reporter: They took your cell phones?
JI: Yeah. They took all the phones.

And there was, uh, whenever we, we woke up, I woke up, and he came home and I was, and he said, Shes not in her crib and I said, What do you mean shes not in the crib?. And I just knew, you know, something was really wrong. Were running around the house and were screaming for her, and she was nowhere, and then I said, Call 911, call 911, and he said, Where are the phones? And they werent on the counter where I left them, they were gone.
Reporter: Did the boys hear anything at all? You said you, you, you had to wake the boys. Did, did they not hear anything coming in the window, or
?
JI: Uh, I dont think so. The window that was open is nowhere near their bedroom, so, I dont think they heard anything or, theyre both pretty heavy sleepers.
Reporter: What on the other side of that window that was left opened? Is that the living room window, the bedroom window?
DB: Its actually the computer room where, its an extra living room.
JI: Computer room. [DB is talking over him.]
Reporter: As another day has passed now, how do you, how do you move forward with police being here, with your lives being
? I mean, have you had any sleep, tell us what you do today.
DB: Uh, uh, Ive had a couple hours, but, um, not much. I mean, I close my eyes and I see her. I cant
But I mean, were just trying to hold it together for, for our boys and for her. Just, you know, stay strong for her, so that we can try to think of anything, or anyone, or, any reason that this might have happened, and we still havent, but
Reporter: Are you saying both your phones were taken as well?
DB: Yeah, um, three, three were taken. Um, 1 wasnt even working, and it was sitting up there next to the other ones, I was reprogramming, I mean, all the numbers and all three of them were gone.
Reporter: What else was missing from your home? Anything else?
DB: We didnt, we didnt look, but, I dont think so.
JI: Nothing that we know of.
DB: I mean, we called the cops, we ran outside, we waited for them, and you know, he was looking around outside, and I was just, you know, just holding my boys and they were crying and asking Whats going on?, Wheres she at, why is she gone? and I mean , you know, and, the police came and I waved them down, I mean, I didnt even check to, around the house. I didnt think to care about any of that, I still dont.
Reporter: Do you remember your last moments with Lisa? I mean, what were you doing? What was it like?
DB: Just change her, you know, put fresh clothes on her, and get her ready for bed, and gave her her bottle, and made sure her binky was in her crib in case she needed it, and she sleeps with her Barney, and she sleeps with her GloWorm and her blanket and that was, that was it.
Reporter: Are you hopeful that you are going to find her soon?
DB: Im terrified, but Im trying to be hopeful.
Reporter: You folks said that you, you didnt know anybody that would do this, but did you notice anyone that had, maybe, an unusual interest in your child?
DB: I know everybody loves her. I mean, I go to the store and everybody says shes beautiful, you know, and you, she likes everybody, shes really playful and shes, uh, really sweet, and, um, shell go to almost anyone. I mean, so I, I mean, anything beyond that, no.
Reporter: So, it wouldnt surprise you that she was picked up without crying?
JI: Right.
DB: Well, yeah, she was sleeping and you, I mean
[talking over JI]
JI:
move her around and she wont even
(inaudible)
DB: Sometimes she cries, it depends on how, how long of sleep shes had, but, I mean, if you pick her up and you cuddle with her, she probably wont cry.
[Varied reporters thanking them for the interview.]
DB: Thank you for coming out.

October 6th Today Show interview
Q: You just heard Peter report that there are no suspects and no strong leads. So, what are police telling you about where your baby girl is?
DB: Nothing. Nothing at all. We- they say they have, uh, they have some tips from the tips hotline. They-they're looking and doing everything they can but, nothing.
Q: Have they told you what those tips might be, Jeremy?
JI: No. They haven't given us any information. I think they're too busy following up leads and working on things, so. We don't know a whole lot. Just hoping that we get her back soon.
Q: Have they been questioning you about who you may know, who from your past, if there is anyone in your wider circle, your community, who would want to take your little girl? Have they been asking you those questions?
DB: Yes.
JI: Yeah, they've been asking us nonstop. We've been trying to think of anything we can that can help. So far, not a whole lot.
Q: And I know the detectives have been at your home and they've taken away bags, what I understand are considered evidence. Do you know what they are looking for? What they took from your home?
DB: No. W-we don't have any idea.
Q: You heard in the story we just ran that, you know, in addition to the pain of missing your daughter, you're also being asking by police some tough questions. Because, in their effort, they sort of need to leave no stone unturned. So, what do you have to say about their effort to even question you about whether you know something about your daughters disappearance. Jeremy, do you want to take that question?
JI: They uh- we were down at the police station for most of the day the other day. Just- going over everything and making sure that we've got all the information that we have. Giving them everything we can time and time again so hopefully, hopefully something can bring her home.
Q: Do you want to say anything about this question that they're asking, even you about, whether you had anything to do with your daughters disappearance?
JI: No, I mean, obviously we- we don't. We don't where she is or who took her. We just need her back.
Q: To that end, Deborah, let me ask you about that. What would you like to say to whoever may have your daughter? If that person is watching today.
DB: Um, we're a close family. And my boys miss her. Me and her father miss her. Everybody- everybody loves her. We have a good family and she needs to be with us. Please, please being her home. Drop her off anywhere safe. A fire department, a church, uh, um, police station, just bring her somewhere safe. No questions asked and we just want our daughter back. We'll do anything to get her.

Reporter: And Jeremy, you got home just a few hours later and she just wasnt there.
JI: I returned home from work at around 4 a.m., and windows were open and lights were on, and she was nowhere to be found.
Reporter: Right there, thats so unusual. The windows open, the lights on. That wouldnt be normal at all?
DB: No.
JI: No, the front door was unlocked, also, so
Reporter: So I know youve spent a long time talking to the police. Do you, and wracked your brains. Do you have any idea, any idea of anyone connected to you who might have done this?
DB: Thats the worst part, is we dont, we dont have a clue.
JI: Weve been going over everything in our minds since this happened, we, we just dont have any idea.
[Platitudes from reporter].
Reporter: You also have two other, uh, children. What have you been able to tell them? How are they handling all this?
DB: They, uh, they were doing alright for a little while, uh,they, they cried a little bit. Um, when we, we first noticed she was gone, um, they were crying and asking where she was, and, um, my 8 year old, whos usually really strong, he, he kinda fell apart, and, wheres, we call her, uh, we call her Pumpkin Pie, and he said, Wheres, where is, Pumpkin Pie, Mom? And I, I couldnt tell him.
Reporter: Well, we are all praying that whoever took Lisa, brings her back. What do you want to say to that person?
DB: Please, she has a family that loves her very much, and just take her somewhere safe. Take her to a church, a hospital, a fire department, just drop her off with somebody and then leave, no questions asked. We just want our baby back.

October 6th Jeremy Fox News Phone interview
Q: Can you update us at all on this investigation, and how your wife is doing, because I know this has been very very rough on her.
JI: Yeah. She's..she's trying to hold it together. Um, keeping in contact with the law enforcement and everybody that's come out has been really great to us so far, given us a lot of help, there's guys from every facet of the government out here, helping to look. So, just hoping that something- something happens soon. And, just want to get her back home as quickly as we can.
Q: Talk to me a little bit about that night. Because, there is an investigation going on-the FBI is involved in this now as I understand, so, your wife, I'm sorry, you're engaged, right?
JI: Yes, that's correct.
Q: Engaged to be married. And you have three children, is that correct?
JI: Yes.
Q: That night, she put Lisa to bed, correct? And then what happened after that?
JI: Yeah, um, Deborah put Lisa to bed at 7 or so. Her normal bedtime, and, Deborah checked on her before she went to bed at 10:30. Everything was fine. Um, I arrived home from work at about 4am. And uh, noticed immediately the front door was unlocked, which never is and um, most of the lights in the house were on which was also really weird and found a window in the front of the house open um..
Q: So the door was unlocked and the window was open and the lights were on and was Deborah still sleeping at that point?
JI: Yes. Deborah was-Deborah actually had our, she was sleeping in our bed with uh, with our 5 year old son and so..
Q: And there is no sign of forced entry or was there?
JI: Um, they don't, they don't really know yet. Um, the screen on the window that was open was broken. But, the police are telling us that that's not a point of entry and I don't know why but um, they're just saying there's no signs. The front door, they're saying the front door was probably left unlocked. So.
Q: Jeremy, is there anybody that would want to do you or your wife any harm? Anybody that you owe any money to? Anything along those lines?
JI: No. I mean, we, we can't think of anybody. I mean, we've been, we've been up almost this entire time um, we're just talking to all these people telling story and we can't-we really can't think of anybody. Uh, we've provided another list of-of information to the police yesterday. So, maybe something can come out of that.

October 7th AP article more@link:
"The main problem I think that we're facing is that everybody (else) has an alibi," Irwin said. "I was at work. I've been cleared. All these other people we were worried about ... the FBI said they've been cleared. The only one you can't clear is the mother that's at home when it happens 'cause there's nobody else there."

October 7th GMA Interview Thanks to not_my_kids for the transcript.
RR:
You heard, um, in Dan Harris report, that the police are claiming that you have stopped cooperating. Is that true, Debbie?
DB: No, not at all. Since this, this, all this has happened, weve, um, never stopped cooperating.
RR: Jeremy, what would have led police to believe that you had stopped cooperating? What happened?
JI: We were, we were in interrogation for a really long time Tuesday, and we were there again yesterday answering questions and, I just, I c, couldnt take it anymore. I told him I had to have a break. I told them I couldnt do it anymore, and I couldnt answer any more questions today, and, I, I, I asked to be let go and, so they let us, the let me go from the police station and then, an hour later or so, when we saw the press conference from the, from them
RR: Its commonplace, uh, unfortunately, with something like this, that the police look at the family first because you were the last to see your precious little girl, and I know, Debbie, you and Jeremy have told our team on the ground there in Kansas City, led by Dan Harris, Debbie, you have said that the police have accused you outright, have told you that?
DB: From, from the start, theyve um, when I first, um, when they first questioned me, it, once I, uh, I couldnt fill in gaps, it turned into, um, you did it, and the, uh, they, uh, they put the picture down of her on the table, and they said, um, Look at your baby, and, um, Do whats right for her, and just tell everybody where she is so she can come home and I kept saying I dont know, I dont know, I dont know. And it, I, I, 11 hours of it, and I, I just sat there, and I mean, I dont, I didnt even ask to leave. I, I didnt ask for it stop. I wanted it to, but I, I didnt ask. I just let them keep asking questions until they were done.
RR: And youve also told our team that the, the police, they are claiming that youve failed a polygraph test. Is that true?
DB: Yeah. Yeah, um, yesterday we went in, or we um, we called, um, someone and told them we, we, we have more, um, suspects. It seemed like they were, um, gonna talk to us in the car, and then they separated us. We dont want anybody to feel like we, um, we were angry or, or, ungrateful. Um, we, we appreciate everything that everybody has done to try to bring her home, and uh, thats our main goal. I dont, I dont care what theyve done to me, I dont care what they say about me, I dont care what anybody says about me. I just want her to come home. Our, our focus is Lisa, is our Lisa coming home to be with us where she belongs. And whatever I have to do to get her home, well do it.
RR: So both of you, set the record straight, because you know when people hear that the police are claiming all these things and saying that you have stopped cooperating that they become skeptical and suspicious. So, set the record straight right now and reassure people, did you have anything to do with the abduction of your daughter?
DB: Absolutely not.
JI: No.
DB: We b, we do, we want, we cannot stress enough to thank the Kansas City Police Department, because, um, you know, this, this is their job, this is, this is part of the process, and we appreciate everything theyve done and, and all, all the volunteers and search and rescue and everybody thats
I mean, weve got strangers making up Facebooks in her name and, and, you know, uh, and the FBI has, has done everything and, um, we, we, we, um, if, weve, we forgot anyone, were sorry, but, um, its hard to remember everything right now, but, we really appreciate everything everyone has done and we just, we just want to bring Lisa home.

October 7th Today show
Q: I have rarely seen the police come out and make a statement like the one they made yesterday saying that the parents have stopped cooperating without having a reason to do so. So, why do you think they've made this statement?
JI: We uh, we were at the station yesterday, um, being interviewed again and I just had reached my- I just had reached my boiling point and I asked 'em, I said, "guys, I-I can't do this anymore today. I need a break. I can't answer anymore questions." Then we asked to leave. And then, the next thing we knew, we- was the press conference yesterday evening. Um, so it was..completely caught us by surprise.
Q: Let's back up an hour or so. What was the- how would you describe the demeanor of police prior to you saying you'd reached your breaking point or your boiling point. Was it an aggressive questioning? Was it- was there cooperation prior to that point? How were they treating you? How were you responding to them?
JI: Um, yesterday they- the gentleman that was interviewing me was very nice and um, once I expressed to him several times that I wanted to leave he went ahead and let me go. Um, the other day was a little bit different story but, um, we just, we just want to make sure that we tell everybody that we're, you know, we're still cooperating, we're still talking to the police, um, we're doing everything we can to try to find Lisa and bring her back home.
DB: Our number one focus is her.
Q: Debbie, what was the-
DB:-Above all else. No matter what. It's her.
Q:-and I understand that. What was your experience with the police? What kind of questions were they asking you? And what was the level of aggressiveness of those questions?
DB: Um, they, the same thing with uh, with Jeremy, they were, they were really nice yesterday. And um, but it wasn't- It wasn't like that the first time and- we understand that, um, w-we don't have any hard feelings. We're not-we're not mad. We know that this is what they-this is what they have to do. Um, so we, we totally understand.
Q: You said this is what they have to do. Do you feel that in some ways, by making this statement publicly, calling you out in some ways publicly, they are trying to pit one of you against the other?
DB: Possibly.
JI: But it- it doesn't-
DB: -it doesn't matter. -
JI: matter to us.
DB: It doesn't - it doesn't - We don't - we don't care - we don't care what anybody says or thinks or, we don't care what they think. I mean, we - our concern is to find - is to find Lisa , to find our Lisa and bring her home because that's what we want and I don't care what we have to go through to get it.
Q: Let me ask you a couple of other direct questions. Have both of you taken lie detector tests, polygraphs, as part of this investigation?
DB: I have. I volunteered.
JI: I have not.
Q: What were the results of that?
DB: They said that I failed. And I continue to say that's not possible because I have -- I don't know where she's at. This -- I did not do this and if...
Q: Did they say specifically what question you...
DB: Some of the stuff they said was...
Q: Did they say specifically what question you may have failed on?
DB: I don't remember which one it was, but they just kept saying I failed, I failed and I said that's not possible, and, I mean, what do -- what do you say when someone tells you -- when someone tells you that and you know that you didn't do anything.
Q: And, Jeremy , you have not taken a polygraph?
DB: What could I say?
JI: No, I have not.
Q: Have you been asked to? Would you be willing to?
JI: I have not been asked to. I'd be willing to do whatever it takes to bring my daughter Lisa home where she belongs. If that's what it takes, that's what -- that's what we can do. But, we're still looking for her.
Q: Let me -- let me ask you each one blunt question. Jeremy , when you look at Debbie do you have any suspicions that there's anything that she's not telling you relating to the disappearance of Lisa ?
DB: None whatsoever. None whatsoever. We've been -- we've been asked that millions of times, and there's no doubt in my mind that she have anything -- there's no way. She couldn't have had anything at all.
Q: And Debbie , the same question for you on Jeremy . Do you have any doubt in your mind that he hasn't told you something?
DB: No. He's a -- he's a -- he's a good father. And he's a -- he's good to me and he loves her. And everybody loves her. But no, there's no way. We don't know, which is why we need everybody to continue to look for her and help us in any way that they can. Because she's -- we want her -- we want her home and we can't do this alone. We need everybody's help. And we appreciate everything that the police department has done. We appreciate everything that everybody has done. This is not -- we are not angry. We are not -- we just want our daughter home. That is the only thing that we care about. I don't -- I don't care what is said, that's all we want done. And we want to thank everybody who's helped us so far, and the FBI , the Kansas City Police Department , all the search and rescue, the Center for Missing Children . There's been some amazing people that have just come out of nowhere and put time in looking for her and...
Q: Right.
DB: ...we are -- we are extremely grateful. And we just ask that everybody please continue to look for her and pray for her safe return.
Q: And I just want to say in closing that I know it's a difficult time, and as a parent I apologize for having to ask some of the questions that we asked. But as you know, that's part of a situation when a child goes missing and we hope the best for Lisa 's speedy return. Deborah and Jeremy , thank you very much .
DB: Thank you for having us.
JI:Thank you.

JP: What about, Jeremy, you gave several names to the police. Without getting into the names, and it doesnt matter, how did you pick the peoples names to give to the police? Why did you think they might have something to do with baby Lisas disappearance?
JI: Um, after everything calmed down a little bit, and we were able to, we sat down just the two of us and we started thinking of stuff, just anybody, any kind of clue, people that have been in the house recently, people that have been in the house a long time ago, um, people that have had miscarriages lately, people that have got divorces or cheating on their
husband, or anything, anything that might try to help us locate her.
JP: Did you come up with names also, Debbie, of people, I mean, she was so beautiful. She is beautiful, you know, in the pictures that Ive seen, I mean, you must have gone into supermarkets and people must have been stunned with her.
DB: That is, thats one, you know, when I started to have thoughts, that was one of the thoughts that went through my head, was, I mean, I, the drug store, the grocery store, I mean, uh, Target, we go to get things, you know, for the house and her, and I mean, every, everybody stops me and, Shes beautiful, and shes
she loves everybody and shes really friendly and shell go to anyone, and she
JP: Any strange people in the neighborhood? I mean, other than this report of a man cradling a baby? Did you notice strange people coming through, you know, garbage people, mailmen, anybody paying undue attention, somebody walking their dog, any
DB: Ive no, I spend a lot of time outside, and Im always bringing her out and Im, you know, I lay a blanket out and well play on it or Ill bring a toy out for her or shes outside with the boys, and me and my neighbor sit out side a lot and hang out with the kids, and I mean, people walk by, but, and they drive by, but, I mean. Thats the last thing you think. I mean, you dont, you never think people are, people are watching you. I mean, or planning anything, you know, you dont, I mean, its a possibility.

JJ: So you had the baby monitor? There was a baby monitor?
JI: Yeah.
DB: Yes, there's always, we always have one on.
<cut>
JJ: Could somebody have fit through the frame where it was popped? You said it was popped?
JI: No.
DB: I, nothing makes sense.
JJ: Could someone have fit through that?
DB: If they, if they had removed it all the way, why would they remove it and push it halfway back? That doesnt make sense so.
JJ: So based on the condition it was in, could someone have gone through that? That you saw?
JI: No.

JJ: When the police were pointing the finger at Debbie, I mean, for one second did you think she must know something that I don't know?
JI: No. I mean, there's, there's no way that she knows anything more than I do. I mean, it was never- it was never an issue for me. Um, they kept saying stuff and it's all part of their job. It-it didn't really make any difference.

October 7th Fox4kc interview plus other footage
DB: Please bring her home. We- we miss her and the boys miss her. She has two brothers who love her more than anything and um, we're not a family without her. Please, we beg you.
<cut>
JI: She's out there. She's-somebodys got her somewhere. She's out there and uh, we're just waiting around, uh, waiting around to see her again.
Reporter: Deborah says she volunteered on Tuesday to take a lie detector test, but police didn't administer one until Thursday.
DB: I said, I'll take it right now. I said it the first day.
Reporter: Admitting that police told her she failed, she said it's not possible.
DB: They showed me the picture and he just asked a whole bunch of questions and um, I told him everything that I knew. I told him um, everything that I, you know, remember to be correct.
Reporter: Jeremy says Monday was the first time he ever worked an overnight shift and wonders who might have known his schedule.
JI: Who knew where I was? Who knew I wasn't home?
Reporter: But he says he has never wavered in his belief that Deborah is innocent of anything to do with Lisa's disappearance despite the results of the lie detector test.
JI: I don't care. I told them I don't care. Um, it- it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all.
Reporter: They both say their only concern is bringing baby Lisa back home.
DB: We don't care what anybody has to say about us. We don't care what anybody thinks about us. Our main goal is to bring Lisa home.
~~~~~
Q: You know when people hear about that polygraph test they start to wonder; Did you harm Lisa?
DB: Absolutely not. No.
<cut>
JI: There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever, so.
<cut>
DB: They said "you failed" and I, shock. Just like every other thing that I found out that doesn't make sense or- shock. It's not possible.
Q: Why do you think you failed?
DB: I don't think I failed.
Reporter: When asked if stress caused her to fail the lie detector test,
Deborah simply said..
DB: I..I-I don't know. I-I don't know.
Reporter: Deborah went on to tell us that even before the polygraph, detectives accused her of doing something to Lisa.
DB: Yes, but I-it's there job. They- this is what they do. They have to-unfortunately, they have to look to the family in today's world because so many-stuff like this happens. I mean, you hear about it, you hear about it all the time and it's heartbreaking. I mean, so many people, and um, these little kids and stuffs happened to them and the family member has been involved and I-I, we- we expect it. We understand.
Reporter: Friday was when we learned the FBI searched the Johnson County landfill.
Q: I guess they were out there Tuesday and Friday because they said there was a dumpster fire a 10th of a mile from your house and so they just want to see if there is any connection. Did you guys hear anything about a dumpster fire?
JI: Uh. w-I haven't heard anything about that.
Q: You either, Deborah?
DB: Um, I vaguely remember hearing something then I-I guess nothing came of it. I mean, no one-no one called, and I-I asked my, uh, one of my relatives, and they said that they haven't heard anything yet.

Reporter [voiceover]: In a separate room, detectives were also questioning the babys father.

the room and saying to you, She did it, the mother of this child did it, did you have a nanosecond of doubt at any point?
JI: No. There, theres never any doubt in my mind.
