Two missing girls

i really do not think they are playing a hoax and hoping for leniency. the more i think about it the more i feel maybe the dad has a drug debt and that person took the kids. or someone plain and simple wants revenge on him for something.
another possibility i heard mentioned on tv is maybe the kids either wanted to get away from the lifestyle or they were so unsupervised they made an internet "friend" who came and got them.
i found it interesting how the grandma was trumpeting the fact that they had "sheltered" the girls from his drug culture. like that somehow made him a good father.

Thanks, guys. . . . That's the most hidden area, that little stretch in the southeast corner. Guess that's no surprise. Where the left side of the circle intersects the path, the path leaves a wide-open area and drops maybe 8-10 feet and narrows to maybe 8-10 feet wide. There is a chain-link fence on the lake side, on the other side is a high embankment carrying the interstate. Lots of tall flora on both sides of the path.
Hard to imagine the girls could be easily dragged out of there, you'd think, since a car would have to be parked some distance away (see Evansdale Rd. on the map).
Boy, what a terrible (or)deal. And, confusing as to what occurred and how.
Kids aren't dumb. They may have thought that they were sheltering them, but I'm sure they figured it out. They live in a small town. Neighbors talk. Kids hear their parents and repeat what they heard. As much as anyboyd tries to "shelter" a kid from something, there's stilla good chance that they know something isn't right.
I think a lot of us might think this but if investigators start getting aggressive with you or your wife and start telling you that you are going to jail and things like that I might start rethinking that position as well. There have been way too many documented cases of people confessing to things that it was proven later they didn't do simply because they were in a stressful situation and snapped. We all think that that could never happen to us, but I've never had a daughter go missing, either.
The lawyer could also be brought on board to serve primarily as a spokesperson so they can stay away from the media.
Speaking from experience, the best way to start getting privacy from the media is to stop standing at the end of your driveway giving interviews. Don't need a lawyer for that. Make it known to your relatives and neighbors that you'd prefer they don't give interviews. I've found most cooperate. Hell our neighbors ran off one of the local channels. If the media starts trespassing you call the police.
Lawyering up isn't a bad idea mind you, as it appears they are starting to hold their feet to the fire. It may however mean that they aren't happy with the investigation generally.
its completely hear say but my dads co-workers uncle is an investigator for Waterloo and they believe it is human traficking.
An aunt of two Iowa girls missing for nearly a week said Thursday afternoon that the family has consulted with an attorney amid growing tensions with law enforcement officers handling the case.
She said that this week a male family member briefly walked out of an interview with law enforcement in frustration.
Again, look up the Riley Fox case and see what happens when you don't have a lawyer present during interrogations.
The police were able to get the father to admit to raping and killing his own daughter during high pressure interrogations. He was later found completely innocent.

My guess is that the authorities are assuming the girls will not be found alive, and may not be found at all. They then focus on getting a conviction anyway they can.

It's the FBI. They are the best at what they do. I'm sure they have more experience in working these cases than any family member involved. Family members are always going to be questioned. They'll be among the first to be interrogated. I can't imagine what that's like, but people need to realize that it's going to happen.
FBI Divers are in the lake. We'll know very soon if they are in there or not. I'm not sure what the next step is if they aren't or don't find any evidence. I would think it would point to the location of the bikes as a plant by either the girls or whoever took them.

EVANSDALE, Iowa - Authorities said Friday that they will keep a closer watch on the father of one of two missing Iowa cousins, a man with a criminal history who stopped cooperating with police in the week-old investigation.
Elizabeth Collins, 8, and Lyric Cook, 11, were last seen shortly after noon last Friday in downtown Evansdale. Their bikes and a purse were found along a trail on the southeast corner of Meyers Lake about 4 p.m.
A judge granted a prosecution request Thursday to put Dan Morrissey under pretrial supervision while he faces September trials in two drug cases. It means parole officers will make sure Morrissey doesn't violate the terms of his release.
Morrissey is the father of 10-year-old Lyric Cook-Morrissey, who vanished near an Evansdale lake while riding bikes with her cousin.
Authorities said Thursday that Morrissey and his wife have stopped cooperating with the investigation. Black Hawk County Chief Deputy Rick Abben says he's not sure why they've taken that approach, but they aren't considered suspects.
FBI Dive Team:

A boat was put in the lake Friday morning to help the dive team prepare for the sonar search.
KCRG-TV reported that a large FBI truck rolled onto the scene of Meyers Lake at 8 a.m. The team will focus their attention on the deeper 15 to 20 foot holes beneath the water’s surface. The FBI asked investigators to stop draining the lake Thursday, so the divers could do their work.
Black Hawk County Chief Deputy Sheriff Rick Abben said Friday the three people in the boat are checking the Meyers Lake in Evansdale before the dive team enters the water and begins using its specialized equipment.

FBI dive team set to search for missing Iowa girls - CNN.com
The grandmother video is "interesting" Her justification that is not drug related because they would have done something to a different child, not these girls, is odd, to say the least.

Authorities have left Meyers Lake, apparently. Everyone is just waiting for the Press Conference to start at 4 to see if they found anything, and why everyone has left the lake. They also started stopping cars again.
Evidence found has been turned over to Ankeny, $50,000 reward for the the person(s) responsible, and it is now being treated as an abduction case. Call Crimestoppers if any information is known by the public.
