Md. Woman Charged With Lying To Va. Grand Jury In Lyon Sisters Case

A Prince George's County woman faces a perjury charge in Virginia stemming from the investigation into the 1975 disappearance of two young sisters.

The Washington Post reports that a Bedford County grand jury indicted 65-year-old Patricia Jean Welch of Hyattsville late Friday.

Welch is accused of lying to the grand jury. She declined to comment to the newspaper.

Bedford County Commonwealth's Attorney Randy Krantz convened the grand jury in October to investigate the disappearance of 10-year-old Katherine Lyon and 12-year-old Shelia Lyon. The girls disappeared after walking to a mall in Wheaton, in Montgomery County.

Lloyd Welsh nephew of Richard Welsh who is married to Patricia Welsh is incarcerated in DE on sexual related offenses. Both men have been named persons of interest in the disappearance of the Lyon sisters.
It's maddening the lengths the Welsh family has gone to keep investigators from getting to the truth. I'm pleased to hear she has been charged with perjury.
