Police search woods for missing Mo. baby

Police searched a wooded area near a house where a 10-month-old Kansas City girl disappeared from her crib but found no trace of the baby, authorities said Wednesday.

Officers planned to send search dogs out again later Wednesday and knock on all neighbors' doors in their hunt for Lisa Irwin.

"All we know absolutely is that there should've been a 10-month-old in that house and there wasn't," Capt. Steve Young of the Kansas City Police Department told reporters Wednesday morning.

Lisa was last seen when her mother put her to bed at their northern Kansas City home about 10:30 p.m. Monday. The search began about 4 a.m. Tuesday when her father returned home from work and discovered her missing.

Police discounted the notion that Lisa could have crawled away and are investigating the possibility that an intruder entered the home through a window and snatched her.

Young said the parents have been cooperative. "As you can imagine nobody knows more about what's going on in that house than the parents do," he said.

Young indicated there is no reason to suspect Lisa's parents were involved in her disappearance but added, "At this point we have next to nothing and are not ruling anything out."

A daylong search Tuesday that included more than 100 officers, FBI agents, and police dogs yielded no substantial clues. Interviews with the parents that ended late Tuesday also didn't provide any clues, Young said.

Nothing turned up around the house or in a search of the two cars in the family's driveway either, investigators said, according to NBC's Peter Alexander.

The parents were staying with relatives away from their northern Kansas City home.

Tip from neighbor 'went nowhere'
Police issued the Amber Alert on Tuesday morning in part because Lisa lived with both of her parents, who were accounted for. The alert was cancelled Tuesday night since the public awareness has been raised.

Police spokesman Darin Snapp said a report that a neighbor saw a man in the neighborhood carrying a baby overnight Tuesday "went nowhere."

Lisa has blue eyes and blond hair. She is 30 inches tall and weighs between 26 and 30 pounds. Police say she has two bottom teeth, a small bug bite under her left ear and a beauty mark on her right thigh. She also has a cold with a cough.

She was wearing purple shorts and a purple shirt with white kittens on it.
