On July 13, 2012, 10 year old Lyric Cook Morrissey and 8 year old Elizabeth Collins went for a short bike ride.

Their bikes, and Elizabeth's purse, were found 4 hours later but there was no sign of the girls.

5 months later, hunters would stumble upon their remains 25 miles from Evansdale, Iowa.

Who kidnapped these girls from a popular lake in broad daylight? And why did the FBI state they had proof the girls were still alive a week later? 

This is a haunting case similar to the Delphi murders - with so many questions and very few answers.

There is a $175,000 reward for a tip leading to the arrest of the murderer of Lyric Ray Lynn Cook-Morrissey and Elizabeth June Marie Collins. If you have any information regarding this case please contact authorities at (319)232-6682, or email the tipline at ourmissingiowagirls@dps.state.ia.us
