Following a 2013 cold case re-investigation into the sisters' disappearance, one of the perpetrators, Lloyd Lee Welch Jr., was indicted upon two first-degree murder charges in 2015; he was later convicted of the children's murder and sentenced to two concurrent 48-year sentences in relation to each count of first-degree murder.[1]
Bowden had covered the disappearance for the Baltimore News-American.[2][3][4][5]
