Sean Bradley is not Baby Lisa’s father. He and Lisa’s mother, Deborah Bradley, are still married. Deborah recently announced her engagement to Baby Lisa’s father, Jeremy Irwin. Confused? Read ‘Meet the family’ below to better understand the dynamics of the baby’s family.
Details of the drive-by shooting incident varied somewhat in two online articles, as you’ll read below, but one thing was consistent: Sean Bradley’s location, which coincides with public records that link Deborah and Sean to one another.
The incident was reported to have occurred on U.S. 50 near Chipman Road in Lee’s Summit. According to Examiner.net, an officer with Lee’s Summit witnessed Bradley discharging a firearm into another vehicle. This was not confirmed in the Kansas City Star article.
It was reported that according to a probable cause statement, five to seven gunshots were heard coming from the area. The suspect vehicle was then located in the grass between Chipman Road and Interstate 470.
Bradley allegedly told the officer he was a veteran of the Iraq War and was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. He told the officer that he had a flashback while driving and woke up with his gun in his hand. He did not know, he claimed, what happened and was unable to provide further information. The statement said he had thrown the gun onto the passenger side floorboard and pulled over until police arrived.
The article indicated that Sean, 26, of Overland Park, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon after knowingly shooting a firearm at another motor vehicle within the city limits of Lee’s Summit, the news report read.
A newspaper article written Sept. 29, 2008, Sean M. Bradley, then 23, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon in a drive-by shooting early Sunday morning around 2:30 a.m. Bradley claimed to suffer from post-traumatic stress from serving in Iraq. He was charged with shooting at another driver in Lee’s Summit.
According to the article, a witness told police that Bradley argued with one of his passengers and got lost as he drove in Lee’s Summit after leaving a casino. He started mumbling about war, and then he fired a gun several times, striking the driver’s mirror of a vehicle that he had tried to ram on U.S. 50 near Third Street, witnesses told police. No one was hurt.
Bradley pulled over and talked to his passengers about war until police arrived.
Sean Bradley is the husband of missing Baby Lisa’s mother, Deborah Bradley. He is not the baby’s father. He and Deborah have a son together, 5-year-old Michael. Deborah has had custody of their son. Sean said during a news interview last week that he had not seen his son in two years, was worried about him, and hoped to get him back.
During a interview Tuesday, Sean said he and Deborah have not divorced because they can’t afford it. There are conflicting reports whether he is still a reservist in the Army or if he was discharged.
Deborah Bradley, 25, lives with Baby Lisa’s father, Jeremy Irwin, 29. Just after Baby Lisa went missing they announced they were engaged to be married. But reports indicated that’s not possible, because Deborah is still married to her 5-year-old son’s father, Sean Bradley. Sean is a reserve in the Army.
Deborah and Jeremy are Baby Lisa’s biological parents. Their two other children are Baby Lisa’s half brothers, Deborah’s 5-year-old son and Jeremy’s 8-year-old son, both from previous relationships. Deborah, Jeremy, the two boys, and Baby Lisa all shared a home at 3620 N Lister Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri, until the baby went missing. The family first stayed in a hotel and then with relatives after the baby’s disappearance.
Jeremy and Rasleem split in 2008, and following a court custody battle Jeremy received full custody of their child.
Raim now lives in Marshall, Missouri, and said Sunday she’s not been able to see her son in years. When she first heard about the abduction at the N Lister home, she feared it was her son who she said she misses very much, and says she’s worried about her son.
Baby Lisa was reported missing Oct. 4. Her parents say she was abducted from her crib between 6:40 p.m. Oct. 3 and 4 a.m. Oct. 4.
