"It shows that people care. I just want them to know that we care and what is best for everybody," said neighbor Vicki Nichols.

Lisa was last seen last Monday around 10:30 p.m. when her mother Deborah Bradley put her to bed in a crib, police said. Her father, electrician Jeremy Irwin, arrived home from an overnight shift about 4 a.m. He discovered Lisa missing and frantically called police, friends and family tell CBS affiliate KCTV

Police say they still have few clues as to where the baby might be located.

Investigators spent Sunday searching for clues, arriving at the Irwin home at midday. Detectives re-enacted the reported abduction by going into the house via the baby's window, where a purported kidnapper entered.

Investigators recorded all of their more than half-dozen attempts.

At the same time, police were called to Edwardsville, Kansas on a tip. Detectives searched a wooded area where it went into the Kansas River.

Police said they received information that it is where baby Lisa's father had a job recently; they left empty handed, reports CBS affiliate KCTV.

Lisa has blue eyes and blonde hair. She is 30 inches tall and weighs between 26 and 30 pounds. She was last seen wearing purple shorts and a purple shirt with white kittens on it. The baby is described as having two bottom teeth, a small bug bite under her left ear, a beauty mark on her right outer thigh and currently has a cold with a cough.

Anyone with information is asked to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.
