“You know, you’re living life one week, and then the next week it’s like the rug’s pulled right out from under your life and you’re on ‘Good Morning America,’ ” Drew Collins said. “It’s strange, but those are the things we have to do to get the word out there about our girls so that they can come home.”

For now, the families seek humor in little things, like when Elizabeth’s 4-year-old sister, Callie, told a police officer to hurry up and find her sister.

“She put her hands on her hips and said, ‘Have you found my sister yet? You need to hurry up and bring her home,’ ” her father said.

Dude, so I'm looking at JM's pictures, and ended up going through his Disney pics because according to the camera timer, he was there the same week we were.

There are a lot of pictures of little girls that aren't with his party. Knowing that MY kid was there that week? Oh, dude, I'm going to hurl.


If this creeper is an RSO, all of those pics of little girls on his FB should be enough to violate any probation or parole. Aren't RSOs forbidden from being around kids or posessing any pics which could be used for sexual gratification by the RSO?

Has anyone checked to see if he is on parole or probation? A call to his case worker should get a quicker response than the tipline.

Even if LE did come by his tent to talk with him an the 19th, they probably didn't google him as well. I doubt the creep is going to volunteer his internet activity to cops no matter what they ask him.:moo:

Thank you!! First person that has thought this!!! I will post when i get off work the clip with the lady FBI agent.I thought it was weird how nobody else is talkn more abt thos subject. But maybe a lot of people didnt see the clip i did.

I would love to see the clip. I think I may have seen it. If she said specifically "we have evidence they are alive", that may mean the kidnapper or kidnappers sent something to show the girls alive. Maybe some actual video footage of the girls or a phone call from one or both of the girls. Now that would take some planning to not be able to be traced. Hoping the girls are alive and safe with someone who does have their best interests at heart.

In 2004 (when MCM was convicted), Lyric would have been... three years old. Roughly.

She stayed with the Collinses while her mother was in prison and halfway house (about 18 months) and then her legal custody was transferred to Wylma Cook.

So she would have been about 4.5 years old.

Based on that, I think it could have been either way.

Wonder why MCM never tried to gain legal custody of her again? She apparently didn't do anything to break her probation until last December.

I want to ask this again for the hundredth time, :).

Has there been any report about a vehicle picked up by the surveillance camera after or right before the girls rode by?

No :moo: since I have no link.

Sure, there was an article that said Lizzy liked to go along and watch them cut trees down, and sometimes have lunch with him. I'm sure someone else has linked and quoted it by now though - I'm catching up. Only been gone what, 8 hours? And 13 new pages... I think we have a LOT of non-US posters!

I see nobody else commented at all on this. So here you go.

"Her husband, Drew Collins, returned to work for a few hours Thursday at Planetary Tree Service, a business he has owned and operated for 12 years, but even that brings memories of his missing daughter.

Heather liked to bring Elizabeth and her three siblings to job sites where they could watch their dad work and have lunch together."

The od's and MCM sobbing the other day is alarming.

The Gma's defensiveness in talking about the "narcing" and MCM sobbing came after the request for the video from TV station. IMO, it's their emotional reactions from that and the pressure they are feeling. JC was said to adore his nieces, but I don't recall him being mentioned anywhere prior to the OD. Has he been by the family's side at the vigils or at the lake? Gma had never mentioned his distraught reaction (not eating and sleeping) to the girl's missing before . imo

While authorities aren't saying much about their investigation, they confirm there's credible evidence the girls are alive, and don't believe releasing that information will endanger them. Authorities say physical evidence has been sent to the Department of Criminal Investigations lab in Ankeny for analysis. They will not say what the evidence is or how much evidence they have collected.

'Dan 'narc-ed' on a bunch of people,' Wylma Cook, 72, said. 'Everybody knows that.'
Mr Morrissey, 36, was due to stand trial for multiple charges of methamphetamine possession, making and delivering and for beating his estranged wife as early as Tuesday but a judge today delayed the case a month saying she 'understood' the search for his daughter had distracted him.
Ms Cook said 'it's possible' her son-in-law made an enemy through his cooperation with police, adding that investigators were scrutinizing Mr Morrissey's associates as they search for the girls.
According to the grandmother, he recently met with police to allow them to go through all the contacts in his phone.

News clip from KETV (Omaha). The press conference where FBI’s Sandy Breault says they believe the girls are alive was on Saturday, July 21st. Beginning at 57 seconds into the news segment (from that press conference) Sandy Breault makes the statement:

I don't know if she said specifically they had evidence the girls were alive, but I just read an article that said the police had physical evidence from an earlier report. Maybe that is what Breault meant. Would love to see the clip of her talking about they had reason to believe the girls were still alive.

I looked on Iowa sex offender registry and found a picture of the man I saw at the lake yesterday and he lives 2.51 miles from Meyers lake. I emailed the sheriff his license number.

The one in the white van?
