1,000 people search for missing girls
UPDATED 7:36 AM CDT Jul 16, 2012
EVANSDALE, Iowa -

More than 1,000 people spent Sunday searching for two missing Eastern Iowa girls.

Elizabeth Collins, 8, and Lyric Morrisey, 11, were last seen riding their bicycles in Evansdale, Iowa on Friday.  Their bicycles were later found along the bike trial at Myer's Lake.

Misty Cook Morrissey said Saturday that it's out of character for her daughter, Lyric Cook, to wander too far from home. The girl often stays at the home of her younger cousin, Elizabeth Collins, in Evansdale while her mother works.

The girls were last seen shortly after noon on Friday in downtown Evansdale. Their bikes were located along a trail on the southeast corner of Meyers Lake. Investigators say they have found no other traces of the girls.

Evansdale police and fire chief Kent Smock said authorities still view it as a missing-person case, but he isn't ruling out the possibility that the girls were abducted.
