EVANSDALE (AP) — One week after a pair of young cousins disappeared, an FBI dive team with sonar equipment is expected today to search the lake in northeast Iowa near where the girls’ bicycles were found.

Meyers Lake is about a mile from the Evansdale home where 10-year-old Lyric Cook-Morrissey and 8-year-old Elizabeth Collins were last seen on July 13. The girls set off on a bike ride and never returned.

At the lake early Friday, Evansdale resident Billy Fischels, 38, who said he’s helped in the search for the girls, waited for the arrival of the FBI dive team. He tied a sign to a telephone pole with a handwritten note, telling the girls they have the support of the nation and should stay strong.
