Baby Lisa Irwin has been on everyone's minds since she disappeared from her Kansas City, MO, her crib on October 4th. But now there's a new twist in the case little Lisa seems to have a doppelganger, baby Lucy, and her parents have been harassed to say the least.
According to Yahoo, Lucy's parents, Amy and David have been questioned by police several times because their daughter Lucy is about the same age as Lisa and bears a striking resemblance to the missing baby.
The couple was interviewed by the Star under the condition that Amy and David's last name not be used. They are married but fear they will be endlessly harassed. Yahoo and Star give a summary as to what the couple has been going through.
*Amy realized Lucy looked like Lisa when she was in a local supermarket in Overland Park, Kan., a suburb of Kansas City, Mo. Three older women literally surrounded her and asked her invasive questions. They also touched Lucy to see if she had a birthmark on her right leg that resembles Lisa's.
* Five times Amy and David have been questioned by authorities in the case. Every time, the parents have had to produce proof that Lucy is their baby. The couple feels as if everyone is watching them. Shoppers stare at the parents. The police told the Star no other incidents of lookalike babies have surfaced.
* One officer even asked Amy what the circumference of Lucy's head was at the time of her birth.
* Lisa and Lucy look similar in photos. The babies have bright blue eyes and blond hair. Even their ears stick out in the same manner. One subtle difference is in the cheek bones. Lisa's cheeks are chubbier. Lisa also appears to weigh more.
* Most of the incidents happened in early October when the case was still fresh on people's minds. The fifth incident occurred Nov. 30 when an investigator interviewed the couple at home. No one knew for which department the man worked for until several hours later when a Kansas City police commander called to report the detective hadn't logged the tip in their computer database yet.
What do you think about this baby Lisa look-a-like? And how would you act if you spotted her?
