Mystery: Disappearance of girls in 1975
The atmosphere was filled with jubilation on March 25th, 1975, as families across the town planned for Easter festivities. John and Mary Lyon, a couple blessed with four lovely children, decided to take their family out for a delectable lunch at the Orange Bowl, a renowned pizza restaurant in Maryland. With the children on spring break, two of the Lyon offspring, namely Catherine, a 10-year-old, and Sheila, aged 12, yearned to visit the Easter exhibits before lunch. Despite Mary's awareness that the event would be teeming with people, she permitted the girls to go, embracing and kissing them before instructing them to be back home before 4 pm. Little did she know that this would be the final time she would ever see her two beloved daughters. This is the narrative of the Lyon girls, who left to see the Easter exhibits but never returned, and the immense investigation that ensued, uncovering a heartbreaking truth - one of the most extensive police investigations in Washington, a story of agony, and an unsolved disappearance that transformed into a murder case. It was a seemingly ordinary day until Catherine and Sheila failed to arrive home by 4 pm.
