Megyn Kelly is doing the work that law enforcement should have finished years ago. Her investigation into Baby Lisa Irwin’s disappearance shows what real journalism looks like. While police fumbled this case for over a decade, Kelly dug deep to find answers that families deserve.
Baby Lisa vanished from her crib in Kansas City back in 2011 when she was just 10 months old. The case went cold because investigators couldn’t do their jobs right. Now Kelly and her team are asking the tough questions that should have been asked from day one.
The suspect they call Tanko apparently brought up the death penalty during questioning. That tells you everything you need to know about this guy’s mindset. When criminals start talking about death sentences, they know they’re in deep trouble.
There was also mention of some kind of name changing service during the investigation. This sounds like someone was trying to hide their identity or help others disappear. These are the kinds of details that make you wonder what else investigators missed.
Kelly’s team found connections between suspects that police should have discovered years ago. A mysterious phone call was made to an ex-girlfriend of one suspect right when Lisa disappeared. How did it take over a decade for someone to dig into this properly.
The parents faced harsh criticism for not cooperating with police after they felt attacked and blamed. Any parent would protect themselves when cops start pointing fingers instead of finding the real criminals. The system failed this family from the beginning.
This case shows why we need strong law enforcement that actually solves crimes instead of making excuses. When police can’t find a missing baby, something is seriously wrong with how they do business. Kelly proved that good investigators can still find answers.
Baby Lisa would be a teenager now if she’s still alive. Her family deserves justice and closure after all these years. Thanks to Kelly’s real reporting, maybe they’ll finally get both.
