Cops have named a second person of interest in the 1975 disappearance of two young sisters who vanished from a Maryland shopping center.
Investigators at Bedford County Sheriff's office said they were "very confident" they are close to finding out what happened to Sheila and Katherine Lyon, aged 12 and 10.
They also confirmed they were assisting Montgomery County Police with a homicide investigation.
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.
