Lyric Cook & Elizabeth Collins: The Evansdale Murders

Friday the13th of July 2012 was just another typical hot, sunny day in the small community of Evansdale Iowa – and 9 yr old Elizabeth Collins and her 10 yr old cousin Lyric Cook – were doing what any other normal kiddos their age would be doing. They were riding their bikes, and enjoying their summer break off school. But – when hours passed by without seeing the little girls – frantic family members would realize, somethings not right here. Sadly, despite a massive search and huge efforts by law enforcement and the community – months would go by with no leads – and the girls would never be seen alive, again.
