Families of missing Iowa girls struggle with worry

EVANSDALE (AP) — The parents of two young Iowa cousins who went missing more than two weeks ago say it’s a struggle not knowing what happened to the girls and whether they’re safe, as the search for them presses on.

The Des Moines Register reports that life is far from normal for the families of 8-year-old Elizabeth Collins and 10-year-old Lyric Cook. The girls were last seen taking a bike ride in Evansdale on July 13.

Dan Morrissey, father of Lyric Cook, says he struggles with the unknowns.
