The landfill is located near Interstate 435 and Holliday Drive in Shawnee, Kan., about 23 miles from Lisa's home in northern Kansas City.
It was not immediately clear what may have brought investigators to the landfill or what exactly they’re looking for.
Lisa Irwin’s parents reported her missing Tuesday morning when her father, Jeremy Irwin, says he returned to his home in the 3600 block of North Lister Avenue from work to find her not inside her crib. He says lights were on in the house and the front door was unlocked.
Investigators with the Kansas City Police Department and FBI have spent the past three days looking for the girl.
Police said Thursday Lisa’s parents had ceased their cooperation with the investigation, but Friday morning on NBC’s Today Show, Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley, Lisa’s mother, insisted they have continued to cooperate .
Authorities have not named any suspects in the case.
Skytracker is headed to the landfill and we have ground crews headed there as well. We'll post more information here as soon as it becomes available
