Family members say they posted the videos to help spread the baby's image.

The baby is shown on four home videos posted on YouTube. In the minute-long segments, the baby makes happy sounds, eats and plays in a walker while her mother coos to her, calling her Pumpkin Pie.

Lisa, who turned 11 months old on Tuesday, was reported missing by her parents around 4 a.m. on Oct. 3. Her parents say she was snatched from her crib as she slept. Federal authorities have searched for the child, but say they have no suspects or major leads in the case.

by pak31 October 16, 2011 9:38 PM EDT: well now it's being reported that mom, Deborah, admits to being drunk the night her daughter disappeared. So God only knows what the heck happened. I am on the police department's side. They knew from day one what was going on. Little by little the innocent mom story is unraveling. so Awful.; Reply to this comment


by tmittelstaed October 16, 2011 8:31 AM EDT: waiting 10 days after reporting the kid is gone to post pictures and video? If it was my kid the videos and pics would have been up on the Internet 10 minutes after we discovered either of them missing.; Reply to this comment

by mariannpepit October 15, 2011 11:42 AM EDT: This is a very sad story. This baby could be in someone's home in the neighborhood possibly the next block down. Thhe person had to know about the baby and know the family. They could have possibly sold the baby to a woman who cannot have children or lost her baby. also, there could have been trouble between the baby's mother and a family member. Anything is possible.; Reply to this comment

It would help if the videos were more recent but aside from that I still feel that the family; especially the husband seems evasive. He never once shows any empathy for his girlfriend or puts his arms around her. Debbie stated she put the baby to bed at 10:30 pm but no one knows if that's true and why didn't the dog bark if there was an intruder ? The family knows what happened to Lisa.

by pak31 October 14, 2011 6:17 PM EDT: The thing that bothers me is that in this whole world there is at least one person who knows where she is, she didn't walk out on her own. I wish, with all my heart, for the sake of this innocent girl that the person who took her, harmed her, hid her, what ever would just come forward. Someone knows what happened. How can they go on living daily knowing that they are the key to this? It's very sad.; Reply to this comment
