Court Hearing for Mom of Evansdale Missing Girl Canceled

A federal court hearing scheduled for a mother of one of the missing Evansdale cousins has been canceled.

Prosecutors apparently changed their minds about revoking Misty Cook Morrissey's supervised release, according to a report from the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier.

According to the article, Morrissey served four years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to manufacture and distribute meth in 2003.

Morrissey's daughter Lyric Cook-Morrissey, 11, and her cousin, Elizabeth Collins, 9, went missing on July 13. Police announced they considered their disappearance an abduction about a week after the girls went missing after an extensive search, which included draining Meyers Lake, which was near where they were last seen.
