EVANSDALE, Iowa (AP) — Motorcyclists have rallied in an eastern Iowa town to honor two cousins who were abducted and killed three years ago. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier says the third annual “Memorial Ride and Drive for the Girls” drew supporters Saturday to mark the anniversary of the day 10-year-old Lyric Cook-Morrissey and 8-year-old Elizabeth Collins were taken.
The Evansdale girls disappeared on July 13, 2012, sparking a massive search that ended tragically when their bodies were discovered on Dec. 5, 2012, in Bremer County. Elizabeth’s parents, Drew and Heather Collins, say they’re grateful for the continued community support and ride organizers.
More than 125 cyclists and others in cars left on a 155-mile ride from Lofty’s Lounge in Evansdale and ended at the National Cattle Congress grounds in Waterloo.
