Fire Department Searching for missing baby Lisa Irwin in a well near home

Kansas City police searching the well of an abandoned house near the girl's home. More than a dozen investigators and firefighters crowded around an opening created in the old wooden deck to access the well. A yellow and red tripod was set up to lower firefighters into the well. The street in front of the house was closed off and was filled with police and fire vehicles. MORE INFO ABOUT THE CASE: Deborah Bradley stated that she last saw the child at 6:40pm on the night of her disappearance (a statement she made nearly 2 weeks after the disappearance, she first stated she last saw the child at 10:30pm). Jeremy Irwin stated he returned at 4am to his home (after working a night shift) and he found the front door unlocked with several lights on and a window screen tampered with. Police have tried to recreate how the baby might have been abducted by an intruder entering through that window. Police also searched a nearby abandoned house after receiving a tip about a backpack and diapers inside, but investigators said the items were in the house longer than two weeks. Police questioned a local handyman with a criminal past but have not made him a suspect in the case. A wealthy benefactor has put up a $100,000 reward for any information that leads to Baby Lisa's safe return. Hundreds of tips have poured in from as far away as England and Barbados.
