Cadaver dog ‘hit’ inside house in Lisa Irwin case

[proud2BlibKansan]

An FBI cadaver dog indicated a “hit” inside the Northland home where Lisa Irwin disappeared from her crib, according to an affidavit police filed to support a request for a search warrant of the house.

The dog, which had been taken into the house Monday on the consent of Lisa’s parents, Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, indicated a reaction to the scent of a dead person “in an area of the floor of Bradley’s bedroom near the bed,” the affidavit said.

A Clay County judge approved the search warrant Tuesday afternoon, and police and federal investigators spent much of Wednesday searching the house and yard in the 3600 block of North Lister Avenue.

In their request for a search warrant, authorities said they were looking for DNA, fingerprints, cell phones and evidence of human decomposition.

3. Oh, God. I was afraid the mom was involved, once she admitted to lying ...

to the police, and being so drunk she was "out" and doesn't really know what happened, or so she says.

I was particularly disturbed by her comment to the effect that...drinking doesn't affect people so that they do things they wouldn't do normally...I don't really remember anything because, like everyone, you don't remember things when you're drunk.

Oh, God.... If she thinks everyone drinks themselves into a passing out stupor, when they have an infant in the house especially...that is someone who is not leading a normal life. And to lie to the police to protect yourself, instead of fessing up so the police can focus on finding your baby, that says so much, IMO.

6. I know!

I mean, I've had moments where I woke up the next morning and I was like "Wow, I'm surprised I did that last night!" but I've never woken up and been like "WHAT DID I DO LAST NIGHT!?!?!?"

Blackout drinking is not normal.

5. I'll withhold judgement

you'll pardon me if I am sceptical of the dog's tale, pun intended.I was named Thomas for a reason.

11. A dog falsely detected anthrax on Steven Hatfill, so they can definitely be wrong. nt

8. How long does someone need to be dead......

....before they excrete scents that cadaver dogs can pick up?

15. What if it was someone else who died in that room?

How old can the scent be?

The reason I ask is I know someone who lived in a house where a guy had been found dead. The neighbors told them the whole gruesome story when they moved in. Looked like suicide but the police had thought it could have been murder. So there was lots of police activity at the house for awhile following the man's death. My friends bought the house, not knowing any of this, a few years later.

If a cadaver dog searched this house, would he hit on the smell? I honestly don't know.

13. Here is what I think happened: She was drunk with the baby lying in bed with her. She rolled over

on the child suffocating her but too drunk to realize what was happening. The husband comes home and finds the baby dead and under the drunk mom. Then it was coverup time. That will explain the dead smell in the bedroom. Just developing a possible scenario.

14. Or she unknowingly pushed the baby out of the bed

Causing her to fracture her skull, or break her neck. For either scenario, they should have told the truth, accidents happen.
