Law enforcement officials have called for all residential and commercial trash in the city of Evansdale to be set aside in the Black Hawk County landfill to be searched through by those in-volved in the ongoing investigation for missing Elizabeth Collins, 8, and her cousin Lyric Cook-Morrissey, 10, Wednesday, July 18, 2012, in Waterloo, Iowa.

FBI spokeswoman Sandy Breault (broh) says the team will begin the search of Meyers Lake in Evansdale around 6 a.m. Friday.
Authorities stopped draining the lake Thursday because the team’s sonar equipment needs at least 6 feet of water to function properly. They previously said they wouldn’t finish draining the lake until Friday.
The dive team is equipped to go into the deepest parts of the lake, which may be as deep as 20 feet.
Eight-year-old Elizabeth Collins and 10-year old Lyric Cook-Morrissey were last seen Friday leaving a house in the Waterloo suburb where their grandmother was watching them.
