MARYLAND 1975 Cold Case Solved After 42 Years — Justice for the Lyon Sisters
On the morning of March 25, 1975, Sheila Lyon, 12 years old, and her younger sister Katherine, 10 years old, left their family home in Kensington, Maryland, and walked half a mile to Wheaton Plaza to look at Easter decorations and eat pizza with friends. In the two girls’ pockets were 4 dollars. On the bedroom walls at home, posters of John Denver and Kenny Loggins were still taped up. Their savings were still inside the piggy banks on the desk. Their mother, Mary, told them to be home by 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Their older brother Jay saw the two girls eating pizza in the shopping center—that was the last time anyone in the family ever saw Sheila and Katherine alive. 4 o’clock came. Then 5 o’clock. Then it grew dark. The two girls never came home. Montgomery County police launched the largest search in the history of the Washington metropolitan area. Hundreds of people combed the woods around Wheaton. Not a single trace. Not a scrap of clothing. Not a single credible witness. Two children vanished in broad daylight, half a mile from home, in a neighborhood where neighbors watched one another’s children and no one had ever heard of the concept of “stranger danger.” But this was America in 1975, and sometimes the innocence of an entire era had to be paid for with the lives of children.
