WASHINGTON – Montgomery County police have traveled to Bedford County, Virginia, to search a property in connection with the disappearance of two girls who went missing from a Wheaton shopping center in 1975, .
The Virginia property was once owned by the family of Lloyd Lee Welch Jr., who police named as a earlier this year, according to NBC4.
Investigators traveled to Bedford last week to speak with local police and authorities.
Welch is a convicted sex offender and investigators believe he was at the Wheaton Plaza the day 12-year-old Sheila and 10-year-old Katherine Lyon disappeared.
Welch traveled extensively and investigators believe that cases in other states could provide clues about what happened to Sheila and Katherine.
