Elizabeth Collins, 8 and Lyric Cook,10 Iowa missing/found dead

[Cheyne]

I believe that one perp could easily take both girls. Elizabeth at 4' 1" and 80 lbs. is smaller and lighter than a bag of seed. She would be easy to grab with no sign of a struggle. Once a perp had her, it would be a matter of telling Lyric what he wanted her to do (get in the truck or whatever) or that he would kill Elizabeth. These cousins seem to be as close as siblings, I think that Lyric would do whatever she could to keep the perp from harming Elizabeth.

At their ages, they wouldn't understand that the perp was lying and no good would come from this. The urge to escape would be overridden by the urge to believe if they did what they were told no harm would come to them.
