The Disappearance of the Lyon Sisters

Case solved after decades.

Katherine and Sheila Lyon went missing on 25th March 1975. They had walked to the local shopping mall in Wheaton, Maryland. Katherine was ten and her sister twelve; both would vanish without a trace. 

The sisters had an older brother, Jay, who later would choose a career as a homicide detective. Their father, John Lyon, was a well-known radio personality. 

They came from a quiet, middle-class neighbourhood where parents were happy to let their children play outside. Stranger danger was not a concept the neighbourhood needed to worry about, or was it?

What happened to the sisters would not be known until decades later, in a case that would haunt the police department.
