With Search for Cousins Over, Focus Turns to Search for Justice
Lyric Cook-Morrissey and Elizabeth Collins' bodies were found in Bremer County last week. A $150,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the capture and conviction of the culprit or culprits.

For almost five months, Iowans searched for any sign of Evansdale cousins Lyric Cook-Morrissey, 10, and Elizabeth Collins, 8.
Now that their bodies have been found, the search has shifted focus. An Evansdale printing company, Creative Impact Company, which was heavily involved in disseminating "missing" fliers after the girls disappeared, has now created a flier aimed at finding justice.
They are asking people across the state to share and post the flier in the hopes of raising awareness that the public's help is still needed.

The cause and time of death for the two girls has not been released yet. Their bodies were found Dec. 5 in a remote area of the Seven Bridges Wilderness Area in Bremer County, almost 25 miles north of where they were last seen. The girls disappeared while riding their bikes near Meyers Lake July 13.
The Black Hawk County sheriff's department is awaiting test results from the state medical examiners office before it can declare the case a homicide.
