Search for missing Iowa girls to resume

EVANSDALE, Iowa (AP) – Authorities in Iowa will resume their hunt for two young Iowa girls whose bicycles were found at a lake in a suburb of Waterloo.

Dispatchers for the Evansdale police and Black Hawk County Sheriff's Office said Monday that the girls had not been found.

More than 350 volunteers helped search the area around Meyers Lake for 8-year-old Elizabeth Collins and her 10-year-old Cousin, Lyric Cook-Morrissey. The cousins were last seen shortly after noon Friday.

Their bikes were found near Meyers Lake a few hours after they were reported missing.

Authorities have been dragging the lake and have been interviewing family, friends and registered sex offenders who live in the Evansdale area.
