“Our main focus is finding Lisa Irwin, and
we hope to continue the cooperative communication that we have had with the parents,” said Sgt. Stacey Graves, a Kansas City police spokeswoman.
Early Friday afternoon, authorities spent nearly
two hours looking through trash at a Johnson County landfill at Interstate 435 and Holliday Drive. It was unclear what, if anything, they found.
A team of FBI investigators
arrived at the Shawnee landfill at about noon, said Tom Coffman, Deffenbaugh Industries senior vice president.
“They went on landfill property and conducted a search for evidence potentially connected to this case,” Coffman said.
The investigators examined a section of the landfill that recently received trash from the family’s neighborhood, he said.
Bridget Patton, a local FBI spokeswoman, said that investigators were conducting a
“secondary search” of a particular portion of the landfill.
“That area has already been searched once,” Patton said.
Family members learned of the landfill investigation Friday afternoon.
“We got a couple of telephone calls telling us this was happening and that was the extent of it,” said Mike Lerette, a cousin of Deborah Bradley. “We are in front of the television and seeing the same thing.”
Lerrette said family members hope to make a statement later Friday afternoon.
