EVANSDALE, Iowa (AP) — Friends and supporters of two Iowa girls who've been missing since July plan to distribute fliers on Halloween to maintain public awareness.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier says residents are invited to print copies of the missing girls' photos and the tip line number and hand them out to trick-or-treaters in Evansdale. Parents and other adults accompanying children may distribute the fliers door-to-door.
Lyric Cook and her cousin, Elizabeth Collins, disappeared on July 13. Their bikes were found near Meyers Lake in Evansdale. Lyric has turned 11 and Elizabeth has turned 9 since they went missing.
Authorities are asking anyone who has any information on the case to call the tip line, at 319-232-6682 or send an e-mail to ourmissingiowagirls@dps.state.ia.us.
A reward of $150,000 has been established for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.
