KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -
Cyndy Short, a Kansas City area attorney, is no longer representing the parents of missing baby Lisa Irwin.
Sources tell KCTV5 that Short was forced off the case Thursday. It is unclear Friday whether that came at the direction of Joe Tacopina, a New York attorney.
Tacopina joined the case last week.
Neither Short or Tacopina have responded to repeated requests for comment. Short has not arrived to her Kansas City office as of 9 a.m. Friday.
KCTV5's Jeanene Kiesling asked baby Lisa's parents, Debbie Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, about Short no longer representing them when they returned to a relative's home Thursday night.
"This is the first I've heard of it," Bradley replied. "You know as much as I do."
