Today at 11 they had a live update from the Sheriff's office.

All they said was that they didn't need any civilian volunteers to do anymore searches at this time. They would like volunteers to distribute flyer's where ever they can.

They said that they have no farther solid leads or clues. It's like the girls simply vanished. They explained why they couldn't send out an Amber Alert, but they did send out a Red Light Alert. That is kinda the same thing with out the perps info. It just states that they have a missing person/s and any info they have about it.

They said that they are taking any tips or leads still by the public, you are to call the Evansdale Police Dept. if you have any. They are now asking for the public's help on calling and letting the police know if you seen the girls at all on Friday, instead just the previous 12-3 time frame.

They said that the FBI and local police are still doing ground searches. They have been knocking on all of the sex offenders doors and questioning every one of them since Friday.

They have set up a donation offering at a local bank in Evansdale.

They just kinda summed up everything everyone has already known.

Thank you again, everyone.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Gramma i do believe they're doing their best... i couldn't have said it better ( after my melt down i see much clearer). im sorry to hear about your son. they have ruled out all family members. its a process and they have dealt with this before sadly when we havent. we all do need to have faith in them. we are all working together for the same end result. they did bring on blood hounds today instead of cadavor dogs and i heard they did find a scent of the girls. But i do not know any more than that. I will be calling some people in the morning so i can update better. i will also put the links up when i have my computer instead of my phone

As much as it may seem they're not doing enough, I believe they are putting their hearts and souls into the investigation, no one likes it when children just vanish. They have to think logically and strategically and with no evidence the girls are in the area they were last seen in they have to pursue that theory, so at this point civilians are best utilized in spreading the word of their disappearance. Talking to people who saw them earlier that day may turn up clues as to who else was in the area or that they interacted with, and who the police should, if anyone, focus on. The family members will likely be interrogated over and over, they are always the first suspected and have to be ruled out, I know this firsthand too well.

I personally could not do the job of investigators. When my son was kidnapped I saw many turnovers in the DA's office over the years, they simply could not handle the anguish over and over again, it affected their personal lives and their families. Kudos to the police and community for the job they are doing.

God bless Lyric's and Elizabeth's family and friends, and everyone involved in the effort to return them home, all are in my prayers, I know this is hard.
