Lost the live feed. Anyone else?

How do you get the live feed to work?

It went offline about 5 mins ago. Helicopter flew away.

 

[TGIRecovered]

I am at work and can't get the live feed. I appreciate all who are posting what they see and hear!

This is my worst nightmare. I panic about waking up and one of my kids not being in their bed. Luckily my kids bedrooms are upstairs so getting in through a window would be extremely difficult. My 3 year old though slept in today until 9 since we had a late night last night. My husband left for work about 830 and I went upstairs to see my sons bed empty. I asked my 7 year old daughter where Luke was and she said "I don't know." so just before I start to freak out and my son was hiding in her room and jumped out and said "ta da". They both were playing a mean joke on mommy!

As far as Craigs list..i buy and sell a ton of stuff on here and I guess I need to start being careful. I never have people come to my house though....but I did buy a foosball table off a young kid and he delivered it to my house and my husband helped him carry it in. I did not even think this kid could be a pervert.

The locals here should be very proud of their LE. They are doing a remarkable job trying to find this baby!

I know some of the LE who have been interviewed/working this case. While I won't be working with them today (I did email one asking for an update on the case... obviously haven't heard back, as they're busy with more pressing needs), I will let them know later that their good work's been noticed!

I didn't get to see the red vehicle on the live feed, but I am pretty sure I know exactly where they are. It makes much more sense that they would be rappelling there rather than the N Jackson/Milan area. This would be just barely north of their command center. North of the highway and south of NE 34th Terr and N Brighton right next to the creek. There is a steep embankment right there from the field to the creekbed.

ETA I think I was wrong on the spot. The description sounded like an area just to the south east of there.

They are rapelling just off N Myrtle, down the bank (from watching live feed earlier).

Someone wondered why they were rapelling when there is vehicular access to the bottom (via Nth Jackson Ave) but I guess they were checking the bank/cliff?

 

[treeseeker]

Maybe they spotted something on the side of the cliff, stuck in brush?

No access between N Jackson and N Myrtle. Woods in between. I wish someone would have gotten a screen grab because I guarantee I would know exactly where they are searching. I grew up in these woods and still take my kids and dogs walking through there very frequently. My dogs love swimming in the creek. Buckeye Greenway is the name of the area. If they are rappelling by N Myrtle, it could be on the side that backs up to the woods. They have "scraped" the land near the hill where they have put in warehouses, etc.

I am only able to stop in for quick updates and fast scanning....do we know why they are searching that particular area, like something found or are we all wondering? TIA

No I saw that. But you can drive in from N Jackson to the bottom of the cliff/bank. There was a LE vehicle parked in the field (to the left of the truck yard at end of N Jackson on google maps).
They were rapelling down from N Myrtle (just on the corner with NE 34 Terrace) to that bit of field.

As far as I know, we're all wondering.

As many have already said, the best hope is a woman who is desperate for a baby and Lisa is being well cared for somewhere. The alternative is just beyond evil and disgusts me.

Please be safe Lisa.

KMBC's Cliff Judy: 4 lines of emergency crews rappelling down steep hill, searching for Lisa. Using a grid pattern.

KCFD Battalion Chief at rappelling scene tells me search of drop off is not arbitrary. "There's a reason we're here."

Underbrush is so thick, firefighters are using chainsaws to clear it.

 

[SuziQ]

My guess is mom was calling 911 while dad woke up neighbors to see if they had seen anything...

And yet one neighbor said the first he knew about this was when he went outside to get the paper and he saw all the news hleicopters. Maybe he didn't hear any banging on the door?

OK. I forgot about the N Jackson in the warehouses! They didnt used to be there! When I was a kid it was all a wooded area and that house was in the woods! That area of N Jackson is where they scraped the hill down and left that house up with a cliff at the edge of their property.
