I just read one of the articles thoroughly and this stood out -
Several callers to the KWWL newsroom said they saw law enforcement activity Wednesday night, and wondered what was going on in Evansdale.
The callers and e-mailers said several law enforcement vehicles were on the streets and that they saw at least one helicopter in the skies above the community.
Wednesday evening, Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Captain Richard Abben confirmed with KWWL that there is additional law enforcement presence in Evansdale.
He said DCI investigators have about 110 homes they want to visit in this effort. Abben explained there are some people who live in the area who were not home during the initial door-to-door search. There are also new families who have moved into the neighborhood surrounding Meyers Lake.
KWWL has not confirmed the use of a helicopter Wednesday night in Evansdale. However, law enforcement agencies around the country often use helicopters, or other aircraft, equipped with FLIR thermal imaging technology. FLIR airborne thermal imaging systems have been around for more than 25 years. FLIR stands for Forward Looking Infrared Technology.
This technology lets investigators see in total darkness and in most kinds of weather conditions, including fog, smoke and haze.
By using wavelengths longer than those used by a conventional night-vision camera, FLIR creates an image using infrared energy. The technology senses infrared radiation. The use of long wave infrared allows detection of heat, including body heat. Most of these highly advanced systems also use digital imaging processing to greatly improve image quality.

Thoughts -
There was a large operation centred on a small area of Evansdale on Wednesday night.
That investigation included extra officers, helicopters, etc, so it sounds as though they saturated the neighbourhood.
The inclusion of the helicopter with the infrared tells me they are looking for something definite in those 110 homes.
I had thought the infrared was for soil disturbance (potential graves) but they'd done that earlier in the search.
What if....
What if the blitz on Wednesday night was to question each house, all at once, ascertain the occupancy, then compare it to infrareds of
live people?
What if Lizzie and Lyric are still alive, hidden in one/some of those 110 houses, and LE know it or suspect it, they just can't prove it because someone's lying?
Far fetched I know, but the FBI did say they believed the girls were still alive...what if they are right?
It's Sunday morning here so it's 100 days exactly since they disappeared. I feel like I've stumbled across a little glimmer of hope.
