Despite Missing, Iowa Girl's Birthday Celebrated

Today is Elizabeth Collins' 9th birthday. She and her cousin have been missing since July 13th.

CREATED 8:29 PM

EVANSDALE, Iowa (AP) - Volunteers who searched for two Iowa cousins who disappeared over two weeks ago are getting cupcakes as a special thank you and to mark a special day.

Elizabeth Collins, whose 9th birthday is Tuesday, and 10-year-old Lyric Cook were last seen riding bikes in Evansdale on July 13. Authorities consider their disappearance an abduction.

The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier (http://bit.ly/NH2zU0 ) says hundreds of bright pink cupcakes fill the Prince of Peace Church in Evansdale. Organizers estimate by the end of the day 1,500 cupcakes will be delivered to just some of the many volunteers.

Trista Manternach is the principal at Poyner Elementary School, where Elizabeth is enrolled. She says they wanted to do something to bring families together, and Elizabeth's birthday was the "perfect opportunity" for the Cupcake of Hope celebration.
