Search fails to turn up missing Iowa girls; 'It's like they vanished,' official says

(CNN) - As the search moved into its fourth day Monday for two girls last seen riding their bicycles near a lake in Evansdale, Iowa, authorities suspended a volunteer effort that drew hundreds over the weekend.

The girls - 8-year-old Elizabeth Collins and 10-year-old Lyric Cook - were last seen by their grandmother on Friday when the two, who are cousins, left her home to go ride their bicycles, authorities said.

A massive volunteer search effort that grew to over 900 people by Sunday failed to locate the girls.

"As we evaluate the accomplishments and results of the searches conducted this past weekend, we are not asking for any additional assistance from the general public," Evansdale Police Chief Kent Smock said in an e-mail early Monday sent to news outlets.

    Anyone else see the interview on AC360? Mom didn't seem very emotional... Even Susan Smith pulled it off better.

    ....phillip is right...masons is an evil maniacal secret society and organization...and is responsible for bringing down goverments and starting and instigating wars...they hate religion too especially the catholic church...they condone every vice and addiction under its principle...if im not mistaken there are law on our books against freemasonry
    and its insidious destructive corruption...you cannot be a christain and a mason for they are diametrically oppose one another...only the uninform would engage such contradictions....phillip is also correct that this information is readily available
