Baby Lisa's Mom Calls KMBC's Kris Ketz
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Six months after her baby daughter, Lisa Irwin, was first reported missing, Deborah Bradley said she is still hopeful that the child will be found alive.
Bradley called KMBC 9's Kris Ketz and spoke to him for nearly a half-hour about the case in what she described as "another difficult day."
On Oct. 3, Bradley said she put her daughter to bed. When her husband, Jeremy Irwin, came home from work at 4 a.m., the baby was gone.
Despite more than 1,000 leads, police have been unable to determine what happened. Some, privately, have said they have doubts about the story Irwin and Bradley have told them.
Ketz said Bradley initiated the call, which registered on his phone without a return number. He said she broke down and cried during their conversation.
Bradley didn't talk about many specifics in the case and hasn't since the first few days after her daughter disappeared.
But, she said, she was hopeful about a happy resolution to the case because, she said, police and the FBI have what she described as three very important leads. She did not elaborate.
The public has not heard from Bradley since early February, when she and her husband appeared on "The Dr. Phil Show."
Bradley said she hasn't felt a need to speak to local media in on-camera interviews and doesn't care if people think she isn't cooperating.
She said she's been relying on a team of supporters put together by New York private investigator Bill Stanton, and they're being proactive to try to find her daughter. She declined to be more specific about those efforts.
Bradley said she has a website that she hopes gets her side of the story across.
Also Wednesday, Jeremy Irwin joined friends and family members for a balloon release outside the family's home on North Lister Avenue.
"It shows here that they care," Irwin said. "They care about where she's at and who she's with, and they care about bringing her home safely and that's, I hope, what everybody wants."
