Lyric Cook-Morrisseey Elizabeth Collins Missing PosterToday
marks day four of the search for missing Iowa girls Lyric Cook
Morrissey and Elizabeth Collins. The cousins, ages 10 and 8,
were supposed to be on a bike ride when they went missing on
Friday, and no one has seen them since. So why hasn't an Amber
Alert been issued?  Well, because their case doesn't fit the
"profile." Cops in Evansdale, Iowa say they don't have a car or
person associated with Lyric and Elizabeth's disappearance. So
they can't put their information out in the form of an Amber
Alert.  Basically that means police are working with very little
information in a search that's brought out almost 1,000
volunteers to help the family of these little girls get them
back. Wouldn't you think they'd want more info? The kind you'd
get from, say, an alert that goes out to thousands upon
thousands of people?  I'm not in law enforcement. I don't know
why it's built this way. But I will say this is what makes the
Amber Alert system so confusing to me.
