There's been little to no consistency in the continuing search for 10-month-old Lisa Irwin, unless you count the pervasive inconsistency, that is. From Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin's initial accounts of how baby Lisa disappeared to the latest conflicting reports regarding Bradley's "inevitable" arrest, nobody -- not the police, not the parents, not the witnesses -- can seem to get their stories straight.
So part of me is relieved that a private investigator has been hired to get to the bottom of this whole mess. But even as this latest development makes us hope for answers, it also raises even more questions. Namely, who hired this private investigator? All we know at this point is that an anonymous "wealthy family" put him on the case.
The way I see it, this can only mean one of two things ...
Somebody out there has a reason to suspect Bradley and Irwin or a reason to believe that the police are missing something else major.
The most interesting thing to me is that this "wealthy family" decided against going directly to the police with whatever it is they know. Possibly because they don't want their tip lost in the tangle of miscommunication that has defined the investigation thus far?
First we were told that Bradley and Irwin "stopped cooperating" with police, then we were informed that they never "stopped" cooperating, they just took a break. Or something. Next Jeremy Irwin's sister told ABC News that Deborah Bradley was expecting to be taken into custody at any time, then police said Bradley was never a person of interest to begin with. Nobody seems to know exactly why authorities dredged a 40-foot well underneath the deck of a nearby vacant home, or why a "homeless man on a bicycle" is suddenly being mentioned.
Ultimately, if the private investigator can find Lisa Irwin before yet another week passes, it won't matter who hired him or why. Although maybe at this point, we're all a little afraid to find out the truth.
Who do you think hired a private investigator to find Lisa Irwin?

I hope they find her too : /
Though, I am very scared of what the truth might be.
Poor little baby girl....
When Sabrina Aisenberg went missing from her crib in 1997, the parents were crucified in the media and by police. I didn't think they were guilty then, and no trace of Sabrina has ever been found. I don't believe that baby Lisa's parents had anything to do with her missing either. I think someone who knows them or has been in their lives in the past desperately wanted a child and took her. I hope and pray that this precious little one is found safe and sound, just as I pray for Sabrina to come home one day. Just because it is out of the ordinary or because it is something that we can't fathom doing, doesn't mean that it's impossible.
Based on all of the news reports, I'm betting Irwin did something and Bradley doesn't even know it. She was seen on tape at the grocery store with some guy while her husband was supposedly working his first night shift ever? Where was the baby then? Her baby might not even be Irwin's baby .. my assumption is that he knew she was cheating, said he was working overnight to set her up and catch her, then did something in the heat of the moment.
But I watch a lot of CSI and Law & Order, so what do I know ... Hopefully it's something like, they made some money "giving" her to a nice family somewhere and then panicked. Maybe a "wealthy, anonymous family" somewhere.
