Reporter: This case has been running ice cold now for months and months and now suddenly we get this fascinating twist. Now, remember, baby Lisa disappeared on October 4th. On November 6th, her father, Jeremy Irwin reported his debit card had been stolen and it was successfully used for a fraudulent charge of $69. Now, when Jeremy checked out the company the charge was made to, it came back to an online company in the UK that specializes in legally changing the name of you or your child. Now, we also checked it out and the card came back to a company that's an office supply store, but the office supply and the legal name change are registered to the very same person. Megyn Kelly talked to the parents and the attorney about this claim.
JT: It's just another coincidence in this case. I mean, could it be nothing? Could it be an empty lead? Perhaps. But when you start adding things up, when you take that unbelievable coincidence where we have a missing baby and there's a charge- a fraudulent charge on some website that actually changes children's names over the internet which is unbelievable to me that that exists.
Reporter: We contacted the Kansas City Police Department, they issued a statement saying, and I'm quoting here "We have been investigating the debit card lead. However, we are not optimistic it will turn into anything more than stolen card numbers at most. Other than that, very few leads, and even fewer promising ones." Keep in mind police have said many many times that the parents are not fully cooperating and answering all the questions but now the parents say they're the ones not getting enough information. Listen.
DB: We understand that they have a job to do. The KCPD has a job to do. The FBI has a job to do. But it's been almost eight months since we seen our daughter. We want answers and we want Lisa and we're not going away until that happens. Until she comes home.
Reporter: You heard the mom say at eight months, eight months and the police and the parents all have very little to go on in this case still.
And coming up later in this program, our very own Megyn Kelly brings you a powerful new interview with baby Lisa's parents. You saw part of it there. Today they shared one of there first national interviews in months and made the most emotional appeal yet to bring their daughter home. Here's a little bit of that compelling conversation.
MK: I want to give you the last word, Deborah. And give you a chance to address- if somebody is out there and has your baby, and they're watching- what would you like to tell them?
DB: Please do the right thing for Lisa. She deserves to be home, with her brothers- with her mom and dad. It's not right. You think you deserve her but you don't. She deserves to be with us and we deserve her.
