KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Volunteers are organizing a search of the area around Kansas City's old Sam's Town Casino on Saturday in hopes of finding evidence in the Lisa Irwin disappearance.
Dallas psychic Stephanie Almaguer said she has had visions that the baby was accidentally killed in her home and the body was dumped near the former casino near Interstate 435 and Missouri Highway 210. The site is just a couple of miles from the Irwin home.
Almaguer is a school security officer who has been on medical leave. She said it gave her time to focus on the Irwin case.
"As crazy as it sounds, I see things," she said. "I see, like, visions and I get feelings and I hear things."
She has never been to the area, but people in Kansas City who have followed her blog said she described the site perfectly. The casino closed in 1998 after three years in operation.
"I don't know how I did it, but if it fits, search it," Almaguer said.
Volunteers plan to search the area near the old Sam's Town Casino after a psychic said Lisa Irwin's body may have been dumped there. More
Almaguer is one of numerous psychics who have joined the search for the baby, who was reported missing from her home in the 3600 block of North Lister Avenue on Oct. 4.
After weeks of extensive searching, police have broken up their command post and disbanded the special squad of investigators looking into the case.
The New York attorney for Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley, Joe Tacopina, said the couple has repeatedly cooperated with investigators, but said he will not allow his clients to be interrogated by police.

Slowing Down to the Speed of Light

Speed-of-light experiment 'was wrong after all'

An experiment which appeared to contradict Einstein by showing that particles could travel faster than the speed of light is wrong after all, a rival group of scientists says.

The claim comes from an independent team of researchers working at the Gran Sasso facility in Italy – the same laboratory as the group who shocked the world with their physics-defying announcement in September.
That experiment, known as OPERA, seemed to show that tiny particles known as neutrinos fired from the CERN research centre in Switzerland had arrived at Gran Sasso a fraction of a second faster than light would have done.
Because Einstein's theory of special relativity states that nothing can travel faster than light, the results run contrary to an assumption on which much of modern physics is based.
Proof that the OPERA team was correct would fundamentally alter our understanding the universe and raise the alarming possibility of time travel.
Amid widespread scepticism from the scientific community, the researchers challenged the world to prove them wrong, and last week announced they had run a slightly modified version of their experiment which produced the same result.
But now another group of scientists conducting a separate study on the same beam of neutrinos at Gran Sasso claims their findings "refute a superluminal (faster than light) interpretation of the OPERA result."
Rather than measuring the time it took the neutrinos to travel from CERN to Gran Sasso the second experiment, known as ICARUS, monitored how much energy they had when they arrived.
Physicists believe that travelling even slightly faster than light would cause the particles to lose most of their energy in the process.
But the ICARUS team's calculations, published online last weekend, seemed to show they arrived with exactly the amount of energy particles moving at light speed should have had – and no more.
Tomasso Dorigo, a CERN physicist, wrote on the Scientific Blogging website that the ICARUS paper was "very simple and definitive."
He said it showed "that the difference between the speed of neutrinos and the speed of light cannot be as large as that seen by OPERA, and is certainly smaller than that by three orders of magnitude, and compatible with zero."
Prof Jim Al-Khalili, the University of Surrey, who threatened to eat his boxer shorts if the original OPERA result was proved right, said: "Usually we see this effect when particles go faster than light through transparent media like water, when light is considerably slowed down.
"So these neutrinos should have been spraying out particles like electrons and photons in a similar way if they were going superluminal – and in the process would be losing energy.
"But they seemed to have kept the energy they started from, which rules out faster-than-light travel."
