Anne Arundel Co., MD - The granddaughter of a person of interest in the Lyon sisters case is ordered to appear before a grand jury.

Amy Welch was served with a subpoena on July 17, according to law enforcement sources. Welch’s grandfather is Richard “Dick” Welch.

The grand jury investigating the 1975 murders of Katherine and Sheila Lyon meets Friday in Bedford.

Richard Welch's local attorney, Carter Garrett, declined our interview request Wednesday. Garrett wants to wait until after the grand jury meets to comment.

The author, who knew the family slightly, questions why the eyewitness testimony of "Darlene," who described the youngish hirsute man, seems to have been downplayed, even ignored, back when the case was fresh.

Peace and prayers for the families of the deceased.

Update

"A Delaware prisoner charged in connection with the 1975 disappearance of two Maryland girls could appear in Bedford Circuit Court “in the next ten days or so,” a prosecutor said Tuesday.

Lloyd Lee “Michael” Welch Jr., 58, was indicted July 10 by a Bedford grand jury on two counts of first-degree felony murder in the deaths of 10- and 12-year-old sisters Sheila and Katherine Lyon. The pair went to a mall in Wheaton, Maryland, on March 25, 1975, but never returned home."

Officials have declined to discuss any evidence collected and whether that evidence is being tested for DNA.

Several of Welch’s family members have been indicted on charges of perjury or obstruction of justice in connection with the case.

Welch's uncle, Richard Welch, remains a person of interest, Nance said. The investigation is ongoing.
