KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Police in Missouri say they have searched the home where Lisa Irwin disappeared, getting a search warrant after a cadaver dog registered a "hit" in the house.
An affidavit filed to support the request for a search warrant said the FBI dog, taken into the house Monday with the consent of Lisa's parents, Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, indicated a reaction to the scent of a dead person "in an area of the floor of Bradley's bedroom near the bed," The Kansas City Star reported.
In the affidavit, authorities said they were looking for fingerprints, cellphones, DNA, and evidence of human decomposition.
After a Clay County judge approved the warrant Tuesday, police and federal investigators spent Wednesday searching the yard and house.
Bradley told police she opted not to search behind her home because she was "afraid of what she might find," the affidavit said.
The 11-month-old girl has been missing since Oct. 4.
