 The mother of a missing Kansas City baby said Monday that she was drunk when her daughter disappeared, may have blacked out and actually last saw the child hours before the time she originally told police she checked on her.

The revelations came hours before a New York attorney best known for defending Joran Van der Sloot, the Dutch man suspected in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba, said he had been hired to represent parents Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin.

The couple reported their 10-month-old daughter missing Oct. 4 after Irwin returned from working a night shift and found the front door unlocked, the house lights blazing, a window tampered with and the baby gone. Bradley and their two sons were asleep elsewhere in the home.

I have been following the Baby Lisa story since the day she was reported missing, and I'm becoming increasingly convinced the mother accidentally caused the babies death, hid the body, then tampered with the window to make it appear like a kidnapping. Perhaps this attorney can convince her to come clean in an effort to mitigate the severity of the charges and prepare for a proper defense.

I realize I'm getting ahead of the story with that supposition, but I've been doing child abduction stories on Newsvine for almost three years, and that seems to me to be where this story is going. I can only pray to God that I am wrong, and the baby has been kidnapped and is safe..... somewhere.
