House Searched In Connection With Lyon Sisters' Disappearance

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- There's a new development in the decades-old disappearance of the Lyon sisters.

A home in Severn belonging to a member of the Welch family was searched by police.

Richard Welch is a person of interest in the 1975 disappearance of 12-year-old Sheila Lyon and 10-year-old Katherine Lyon. Police say officers searched and seized items from a mobile home on Telegraph Road. It's owned by Amy Welch, the daughter of Richard Welch's wife, Patricia.

Lloyd Welch, Amy Welch's cousin, told police Richard and other family members were involved in the disappearance and murder of the Lyon girls.

Lloyd Welch, a twice convicted child sex offender, was recently indicted on murder charges in connection to the Lyon sisters.
