Why is that unusual? Maybe the baby has dad's last name.
The PD appears to be VERY cooperative with the media. That's a good thing, IMO.
Can anyone tell if this is indeed part of the screen in the window that the cop is fingerprinting the edges of or is the entire screen gone? To my eyes it looks like only a slit was cut then wide enough only for a child or small framed person to fit through. I cannot tell if the screen is pushed from inside out or outside in. One moment I look at it and it looks like pushed from inside out.
Two pictures the second one is a blow up of the window.
This is only three miles from me! Who would do this? I have not heard of anything us locals can do at this point, but, if anyone knows if the command center needs volunteers, water, etc. please let us know. I'm have a 1 1/2 yr old granddaughter and cannot imagine her missing!
So, who are the children laughing near baby Lisa behind the storm door (shown in some collections of photos of lisa)? Are these step or half-siblings? Who are they? News reports indicate two other children living in the house, I presume they are the children pictured.
It's been said in this thread by at least one local that both parents are Lisa's bioparents, and "no steps". However, these other children pictured are dark complected with black or hispanic or biracial features. Are we very sure there is no former mate or spouse or relative or former relative who would begrudge the family its new baby? Are these foster children, or nephews? Who are they?
Also, why are the parent's names being withheld in press accounts. That is unusual.
Both parents are on the scene and cooperating with police, according to ABC's Kansas City affiliate KMBC. Investigators will also be speaking to a couple of other children that were in the house at the time, according to KMBC.
"We are interviewing family and friends just to eliminate everyone's that close to the family as suspects," Snapp said. Police do not have any witnesses or suspects at this time. Snapp describe the family's neighborhood as a "middle class, very quiet neighborhood."
This area actually would be the ideal place for their command center. Right near the neighborhood, but out of the way and close to the highway for easy access. Right on the river and this particular road just leads to a few houses and businesses only. Not very much traffic.this is where the command post is! (strange place!)
I have it marked on the map:
