What is the mystery behind Baby Lisa's disappearance?
I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. In episode three of our special series, Megyn Kelly investigates on the disappearance of baby Lisa. Nearly 13 years ago in Kansas City, Missouri, Lisa Irwin, a 10-month-old baby girl, vanished in the middle of the night. What could have possibly happened to her? One man emerges who might have some answers. Four years of crushing interest rates, runaway inflation, and reckless government spending, and who is paying the price? You are.

After a $100,000 reward was posted and the widespread pursuit of an unknown man walking with a baby, two people of interest emerged. James Brando, who lived next door to Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, and who had split up with his wife, Samantha, earlier that day.
Samantha, you may remember, was drinking with Deborah on Deborah's front stoop the night baby Lisa went missing. Brando was investigated and ultimately ruled out. That left John Jersey Tanko, the handyman with a history of drug abuse, arson, and break-ins, who was working nearby. As we learned in our last episode, he had an ex-girlfriend who he may have believed wanted a baby. Her name is Megan Wright. Was Tanko trying to bring Megan a baby in the hopes of getting back together? And now we turn to perhaps the most crucial clue in this case. Remember those three cell phones on the Irwin's kitchen counter taken the night that Lisa was? Two of them had restrictions for nonpayment. But right near midnight, there was an attempted phone call from the one phone that worked.
It was to a cell phone that was less than a mile away, and it lasted 50 seconds. So what did the cops say to you about that piece of evidence? Lisa's father, Jeremy Irwin.
So they told me that there was a phone call from one of Deborah's phones and we were able to get the records from that phone line. Went back over three years and I myself, hand by hand, went over every number in the whole thing. And that was the first time in which that number had ever popped up.
I mean, and that's our best lead. Law enforcement went right to work on tracing that call. It went to a phone that belonged to Megan Wright. Yes, the same Megan Wright who had recently split up with Jersey, a.k.a. John Tanko.
Now I'm learning that that mystery phone call was made to the handyman's ex-girlfriend.
We told you last week about that phone call. It was placed to a phone belonging to a woman named Megan Wright.
How much contact did you have with Jersey on the day or the evening that baby Lisa went missing? Megan Wright.
None. He and I hadn't been together for over a month at that point. And I had seen him and spoke to him prior to that, but nothing on the day of.
Megan was 20 at that time and had moved to Kansas City earlier that year. She told us she had been in an abusive relationship, left it, lived for a time at a domestic violence shelter, and after that was moving from group home to group home, temporary living situations. She says she met Tanko at one of them.
It was probably two months into us meeting and hanging out together that I learned that he was bringing drugs to that house to the other people that lived there. And that's when I was invited to snort a line of meth for the first time. And... I did. You know, that was the first time I'd ever, ever done it. And I was at this horrible point in my life and drinking too much pretty much every day.
