Summary
Skip the banter: 8:35
Imagine a peaceful summer day in a small Iowa town shattered by the unthinkable: two young cousins, Elizabeth and Lyric, vanish during an innocent bike ride. In this episode, Allison dives into a chilling mystery that’s haunted Evansdale since 2012. Stranger abductions are rare—just 1% of missing children cases—but this double disappearance defies the odds, plunging a tight-knit community into fear. What happened as the girls pedaled away from home that fateful Friday?
There is a reward that is now more than $100,000 to help find the person who murdered Lyric & Elizabeth. If you have any information about this case, please email the Division of Criminal Investigation at dciinfo@dps.state.ia.us or call the Cedar Valley Crime Stoppers at 855-300-8477.
