This case has my head spinning right now.
First off, there are so many unanswered questions that only LE is entitled to have, so the speculation is running in full swing and I've seen theories from tainted formula, to an accident/cover-up posted.
Getting back to the time frame here, I know that the police first dispatched an officer at 4:04am to the residence.
I've been a police scanner entheusiest for a great deal of my life, and probably owned my first radio at the age or 8.
I know from monitoring daily that even though a call might come in at let's say 3:35am, it might not be dispatched for a great deal of time. Kansas City Missouri Police are known for being "blacked out" due to the high call volume. I also know from monitoring that some calls take higher priority than others and are dispatched right away. I'm not sure what category Kansas City MO PD put this in.

One of the first things I am disturbed with is the fact that it has been reported that someone went into the childs bedroom window and kidnapped her. They didn't go into the bathroom window, they didn't go through the bathroom window, they went directly into this childs window.
The layouts of these houses are pretty simple. It's generally easy for me to look at a one story house and be able to identify where bedrooms are located, where the bathroom is on the main level, living room kitchen etc. I could be wrong on my theory of the layout. Not only was it reported that someone went into this childs window, but they also went down a hallway and into a kitchen to take cell phones. To go in a bedroom window and take such a risk, then to go to another room of the house to steal cell phones???
The kitchen might even be inbetween the from bedroom and living room, not sure... I thought the double window on the front of the house might not be a bedroom. Maybe someone else here could speculate on that.
So you make such a bold move and enter a room, then you steal something that could "track you"? So my theories have ben running wild on that one too.
a) Stupid and bold, could track where you take an infant you kidnap
b) Covering up evidence, hiding texts, calls, etc.
c) Kidnapped taking phones so homeowner cannot call LE. (unknown if a residential phone existed in the home???) Once again, only something LE knows.
The evening prior and the grocery store:
Many unanswered questions. What time did Jeremy Irwin go to work? At almost 5pm were the kids home with him? Were they with family members? Neighbors? Left unattended at home? Left unattended in a vehicle outside of the store? In a vehicle outside of the store with another individual(s)?
Unusual night...
Jeremy working first night shift then this takes place. Red flag? Perfect opportunity for a kidnapper? For someone inside of the home being alone late at night where the neighbors will most likely be asleep? Unknown.
Something I don't know if it has been discussed, could Jeremy have came home, fabricated the screen and done something, then came home and woke Deborah up? Unknown.
Avoiding the media...
I was very close to the Sam and Lindsey Porter situation and am still friends with their mother Tina to this day. The media did get stressfull at times, but there came a time when the spotlight was just no longer there and any chance to get the kids pictures, a news story or anything out there was always a blessing in hopes of finding the children. Why would these parents be avoiding the media? Red flag?
National media...
"A deal with the media"... What was that comment all about? Red flag?
A family spokes person...
This person has not been returning calls to local media... Vital to keep this city informed. Red flag?
Private investigator...
One day a private investigator, the next day a "consultant" due to questions and concerns by the media. No license in Missouri so acting as a consultant. Red flag?
'Wealthy Benefactor' Brought Wild Bill To Lisa Irwin Case. "Wild Bill" last known working for Good Morning America as a security consultant.
Can anyone else picture this?
GMA (since they are the "exclusive" media putting them on camera now) suggesting to the family, "Hey. How about we hire a private detective to help you guys out?" It's all the more red flags to me. I'm pretty confident that Good Morning America is the "Wealthy Benefactor"
Kansas City Police not requesting assistance...
There are certified and trained groups here in the metro that can assist law enforcement with searches. The family can even request search teams to help look for this child. I was a member of a local group that went through this extensive training where detectives came in for classes, and we took part in getting certified. There are a lot of wooded areas near the Irwin home, and most frightening, the Missouri river is just south of the home and very accessible from a vehicle or a very short walk.
I made a few maps of areas that I would find of interest that can be easily accessed by a vehicle or on foot near the home. Red lines indicating areas I feel should be searched, blue lines where you could travel by vehicle and short distances on foot.
(edit)
I did notice on the news this morning that the 34th & Brighton area has been looked at by law enforcement.(/edit)
Maybe someone else local can comment on the areas I've pointed out. I'm not sure along the river business wise what's there. I know the old Sam's Town Casino closed many years ago, but I don't know if that structure is still being used or if security guards travel that area?
Frustrating...
My theory here? Too many red flags and no signs of this child. The red flags have me really concerned and worried about the conclusion of this case.
