Cops in Maryland are fingering a convicted sex offender in connection with the terrifying 1975 disappearance of two young sisters. The mystery has haunted the Washington area ever since.
The Lyon sisters -- Sheila, 12, and
Katherine, 10 -- were on their way home from the Wheaton Plaza Shopping
Center in March 1975 when they vanished. A composite sketch was
widely distributed and tips flowed in, but the Lyon sisters were never
seen or heard from again.
"It was just stunning. It could have
been anybody's kids," said Charleen Merkel, a shopper at Westfield
Wheaton who remembers the disappearance well.
