Baby Lisa Irwin mystery man
The video shows the mystery man walking out of the woods around 2:30 a.m. on October 4, just an hour and a half before Jeremy Irwin says he discovered his daughter was missing from her crib.
Irwin and Deborah Bradley maintain they discovered their baby had been taken when Jeremy returned home from his night shift to find she was gone. Bradley has said she fell asleep at home after putting Lisa to bed and having a few drinks.
The new video seems to support eyewitness testimony of three neighbors who told "Good Morning America" they saw a man in a t-shirt carrying a baby down the street in the middle of the night.
Mike Thompson told the morning show he was returning home from work on his motorcycle around 4 a.m. when he saw a man walking in the street carrying a diaper-clad baby. He says it took him a few days to connect Baby Lisa's disappearance with what he saw, but he then reported it to police.
Police showed Lisa's parents burnt clothes during questioning, ABC reports, and are also investigating a fire in a nearby dumpster, which could be connected to the fact witnesses spotted the baby in nothing but a diaper.
Last week investigators were granted a search warrant to comb the family's home after an FBI cadaver dog sniffed the scent of a dead person "in an area of the floor of Bradley's bedroom near the bed," according to an affidavit obtained by The Associated Press.
An attorney for Bradley and Jeremy Irwin said cadaver dogs were not always accurate.
"My understanding is that there are cold cases where dogs have hit on scents of decomposition that have been in the home for as long as 28 years," Cyndy Short told "GMA" on Saturday. "This is an old home. Sixty-three years old. There could be a lot of other explanations for that."
A former FBI agent quickly shot that down, saying, "In studies done of cadaver dogs where the dog has direct access to the scent and it's reasonably fresh – it's above 90 percent."
