OELWEIN, Iowa — The mother of an eastern Iowa girl who was abducted and killed nearly 13 years ago is behind bars facing numerous drug charges. KCCI-TV reports the Oelwein Police Department arrested Misty Cook on Tuesday night after they found illegal controlled substances in a search.

Cook is the mother of Lyric Cook-Morrissey, who, along with her cousin Elizabeth Collins, was abducted from Evansdale in July 2012. The bodies of both girls were found five months later. An arrest has never been made in the case.
