Across State Lines: True Crime

In 2011, 11 month old Lisa Irwin disappeared from her Kansas City, Missouri home in the middle of the night. Her parents were instantly put under scrutiny, with many believing they had done something to harm their child, and while police uncovered some evidence to point in that direction, a lot of evidence was discovered that pointed to an intruder having kidnapped Lisa. Between a man seen carrying a baby, a dumpster fire, a strange call placed from the family's stolen cell phone, and scent dogs hitting at the family home, the evidence was pointing in every direction. Sadly, baby Lisa had never been found.
