Since there is so much being done at Meyers Lake to memorialize the girls, IMO Heather and Drew believe this is where Lyric and Lizzie were abducted on July 13th. Please don't ask me for a link - this is just my "take" on why Heather and Drew are so active in getting the girls memorialized at the lake. IMO it's more than just the girls' bikes being found there - I feel they believe the girls vanished from there. MOO, JMO, etc.
But I'm still unsure why the island is featuring so prominently in the memorial plans. Maybe it's simply as Heather said:
One thing that can be done, she suggested, is making the lake, the park and the island a welcoming place, noting the island was always a little foreboding to young children. "Kids were scared. What we want to do is clear it out and make it look friendly," she said
Dona Frickson, who's coordinating volunteer efforts for the project and also is head of the Evansdale Chamber of Commerce, said clearing undergrowth and brush trees will give more room for the healthy trees on the island to flourish.
Heather Collins said she wants the public to look about the finished park and lake as "something joyful, in memory of the girls."
