The search continues for Elizabeth Collins, 8, and Lyric Cook, 8, who have been missing since Friday, July 13. Bicycles belonging to the two girls, and Elizabeth’s purse, were recovered Friday afternoon on the bank of Meyers Lake, just hours after they left Elizabeth’s house where their grandmother was watching them in Evansdale, a Waterloo suburb. Hundreds of searchers have assisted in the effort to find the two girls, and their disappearance has made national headlines.
