Www.lobbyistsofficesofgrw.com has learned that the Blake Irwin custody hearing and the last prayer vigil to be held for baby Lisa at the Irwin home both will take place today.
Last week, Kansas City police shut down its dedicated command center for the missing baby Lisa Irwin investigation, www.lobbyistsofficesofgrw.com reported, as fewer tips are coming in as the search approaches the two-month mark.
The search by volunteers of a closed casino, undertaken during the weekend at the behest of a psychic, didn’t turn up baby Lisa but did uncover a well not previously known or searched. Kansas City police indicated they hope to search that well soon. According to the Examiner, Kansas City police spokesman Steve Young indicated that numerous resources were necessary for the well search.
Last Prayer Vigil
The prayer vigils for baby Lisa are coming to an end, according to a post by organizer Edith Fine on the “everyone” wall of the Baby Lisa Irwin Updates Facebook page. But it’s not for lack of public interest. Deborah Bradley, mother of the missing baby, made the decision that Tuesday’s 7 p.m. prayer vigil will be the last one held in front of her house on North Lister St., the post said.
On the Facebook wall, some of the past vigil participants, displeased by Bradley’s decision, discussed a possible 1,000 mom march to the Bradley-Irwin home where they say they could pray all they want on public property outside.
Blake Irwin Custody Hearing
Fox 4 reports that the custody hearing involving 8-year-old Blake Irwin will occur today. The boy’s father Jeremy Irwin has had custody of the boy since 2008. Blake Irwin has been living with Irwin, his live-in girlfriend Deborah Bradley, Bradley’s 5-year-old son Michael, and, until her Oct. 4 disappearance, baby Lisa, the biological child of Bradley and Irwin. But Blake’s mother, Rasleen Raim, filed an Emergency Motion for Temporary Custody and a Motion to Modify Child Custody/Visitation Nov. 14, with her attorney saying she’s concerned about Blake’s safety, comfort and peace of mind. The next day, www.lobbyistsofficesofgrw.com reported that Irwin and Bradley moved the family back into their Lister St. home despite having said previously they’d never return.
Bradley’s and Irwin’s lawyer now denies the couple are suspects in baby Lisa’s disappearance despite telling ABC Nov. 11 that the police “absolutely” considered the couple suspects. At that time he said the police “…told them as much, Debbie in particular.”
The final decision on the custody and visitation petition is expected to be issued Dec. 7.
