Curious to see if locals think the same, or have different opinions.

Am not local and would be interested in their responses. There is a registry of homes known to be/have been meth labs in Iowa (and other states too) so it is not really difficult to determine where the areas of action are for meth.

In Black Hawk county there are 35 registered for Black Hawk county with 26 of these in Waterloo, 3 in Cedar Falls and the rest scattered.

This registry shows the the breakdown - so if you want to know if you have been living next to a meth home check it out as it looks to be kept up to date. You have to agree to their terms of use to access the registry:

An interesting address on Kern Street in Waterloo is listed in the registry.

Just wondering what the locals think of LE and how they have been handling the case. Is there a general consensus or is the town divided? I appreciate the local insight because I have learned so much and gained a better understanding of locations, how things are mapped out, distances between points, terrain, local sentiment. you can't get that stuff by just reading the newspaper and watching national news.

So a drowning has been ruled out, do any of you locals have any ideas? I remember some of you saying it would be impossible to stop on the highway..is there a way they could have been grabbed and taken away then? Can you think of any reasons why the girls would stop their bikes where they were found?

I agree the locals have been extremely helpful!!

Or is it likely they were abducted somewhere else and the bikes/purse discarded there?
Imo, I don't think the family is involved nor do I think its related to the drug issues. I do think its possible that they made it to the lake riding the trail and whatever happened did so at that spot where the bikes were found....but that's about all I've got

I personally think Lyric was "groomed" over a period of time by a sexual predator who has abducted her (and Elizabeth because they happened to be together). I am on the fence whether it was someone related to the drug issues regarding both her parents. At a minimum, their issues made Lyric a prime target for grooming (unstable home life with intermittent involvement with natural parents and some level of exposure to meth community).
