Cases Old and Cold

Break in case of Maryland Missing Sisters - 40 Years Later?



It was the start of Easter break from school and the 12-year-old and 10-year-old sisters, whose birthdays were only a day apart and were approaching, had walked to the pizza parlor to celebrate, as was common back in 1975.

The girls' brother, Jay Lyon, was 15 at the time and had seen them eating pizza at the shopping center before they were later spotted walking home by another witness. Jay Lyon became an LEO a few years later and fought to keep the investigation alive. The girls haven't been seen since that day nearly 40 years ago and no remains were ever found.

Today, LE is expected to hold a press conference identifying a possible sex-offender suspect and will ask the public for help in compiling information about him. Source: http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/11/justice/ma...?hpt=ju_c2

I love it when old cold cases are solved and loved ones finally get some answers.

In this case, the perpetrator is still alive and will have to pay for his terrible crimes - even better.



Lloyd Welch was set to stand trial this week. Instead, a guilty plea will be entered.
