Every night, before he goes to sleep, Jeremy Irwin turns toward a photograph of his daughter Lisa, her cherubic image beaming in a treasured snapshot. “I tell her good night and give her a kiss,” he says. Lisa’s mother, Deborah Bradley, keeps their daughter’s favorite toy— a stuffed Barney doll—on a bedside table, awaiting the return of its owner, who vanished from her crib in their Kansas City, Mo., home on the night of Oct. 3, 2011. “When we do get her back, she’s not going to know me, she’s not going to know Jeremy, she’s not going to know her brothers,” says Deborah, a stay-at-home mom raising two sons. “But as long as she’s safe, that’s okay.”
