Newspaperarchive.com has scanned in literally millions of newspapers, some going back to the 1800s. They have all the Morgantown papers, even the ones that have folded, like the Dominion News and the Morgantown Post, which have now been combined to the current Dominion Post.
There are some drawbacks, though. The searchable database has the papers page by page, and they come up like a Google search. When a story hops, is continued on another page, sometimes it is hard to find that second page among the pages listed. You can, however, limit your search to specific days.
The days it sounds like you'd be interested in would be from the days after January 18, 1970, when the girls disappeared, and the days from March 24 (when the State Police entered the investigation and events ramped up considerably) through April 16, when the girls were found. From April through about September, there were lots of articles about the investigation.
I've written you more about all this, as well as some alternatives to getting a one-month subscription to newspaperarchive.com. Look in your private messages folder in the upper right of your screen.
Hope this helps.
