Jersey's motive in committing this crime is genuinely interesting. First, I believe Jersey heard Lisa and went thru the back window (removing the screen). It's also possible that Jersey came upon the Irwin's back window as part of his regular pattern of visiting homes after dark, to see which houses he can sleep in and what all he could collect/steal from them. This type of activity (breaking into houses, tampering with cars, stealing dogs, selling stolen stuff on the internet with help from Megan, etc.) were things he's been doing for years now. So yeah, it's easy to imagine this activity may also have lead him to the Irwin's back window.
Now, yes, it get's a little harder to understand. Why steal a baby? He's never stolen a baby before. Why on earth does this man need a baby?
The answer is that the baby was neglected, at least in Jersey's mind. I think Lisa could have been crying and unattended, maybe not loud enough to the wake the two boys, but loud enough for Jersey to hear her and notice her. And who would like a baby like that? Who does Jersey have strong feelings for? Who did Jersey talk with about having a baby? Yeah, right, you guessed it. The same woman he was having sex with and who broke it off only two weeks before: Megan Wright.

Yeah, good post about what a date between MW and JT consisted of! Your post was funny, but it was also dead-on! Jersey would comes over on his bike (as he normally did). They'd hang out, do drugs (alcohol, tobacco and meth for sure), have sex, and talk about committing crimes, but also commit a few crimes, together. This was all a dream come true for Jersey, at least until MW finally came to her senses. Then, she realized that JT was nightmare and certainly headed back to prison soon. She dyed her hair pink and decided to be done with him (just 2 weeks before 10/3).

Well, bizarre as it may seem, this was all on Jersey's mind as he picked Lisa up from her bed, grabbed the 3 phones and headed for the door. No need to turn off the lights, since there was an unattended baby here. He's just responding to that (as someone should) and taking this baby to somebody that can care for it (he knew who). In his crazy mind, he was doing the right thing.
Finally, let me come back to this timing question about whether the phone call or the dumpster came first. Certainly the phone call was first, since the 11:57 pm time off the call was WAY before the 2:19 time of the 911 call for the dumpster fire. (BTW, have you heard the YouTube audio on the 911 call? Boy, you can tell where the initial KCPD thinking was: kidnapping all the way!) Why did Jersey call MW? Because he needed to check if she was home to deliver this baby. He needed help for the baby, and who deserved a baby more than Megan?

Certainly it was easily to call MW. Her number was embedded in JT's memory. What number do you know better than your loved one's? Sadly, since MW could have saved Lisa, the call couldn't get through and JT never was able to reach her. That's when everything changed. JT needed to think about this for a while. He sat outside with Lisa for about an hour before he removed her clothes, added the accelerant, and started the dumpster fire. It was around 2 am then. After that, it was time to high tail it north. He followed N. Brighton (away from the road and off in the trees). Then, yes, you can see him swing Lisa across his body at the start of the BP gas station surveillance video (see my post in the pictures thread). Lisa was 26 lbs and, she did get heavy in his arms. He periodically switched from bearing her weight mostly with his right arm, then with his left arm, back and forth.
BBM: The BP gas station video surveillance is BLURRED ... and it has not been CONFIRMED WHO was in that video ...
IMO ... there are better videos and images of :ufo:
Finally, after stops to rest off of NE Parvin Rd. where Jersey tried to access the voice-mail and did access the internet (3:15 to 3:30 time frame), he continued on and got to 48th and N. Randolph around 4 am where Mike Thompson saw him. This too was so close! If only MT had confronted him or called 911... But, no, MT was just wanting to help what he thought was a father with his baby. He couldn't see that this was a crazed criminal before him. No one could.
BBM: It has not been CONFIRMED WHO Mike Thompson saw ... also, Thompson did not notify LE of his "alleged sighting" until a week later ...
I'll skip the horror story that came next, but you can be sure that phones were with him the whole time.
They they are there even now, with Lisa's body or, at least, nearby.
I'm sorry to say it, but this is sad story of Jersey's motive and what happened to the missing cell phones. We just need to find her to know its the truth.
