Apparently the walk to the bridge was a regular occurence. Didn't the boys in the pick-up truck (who were shooting near the bridge) also say that they went to the bridge daily? If that is so, then I think it's possible that the girls were going there hoping to see the boys. I wonder if they have been ruled out as suspects. They were there, and they had at least one gun.
emotional or not then they should release the 911 tapes.
My guess is the time between Peter finding the girls and calling 911 isn't as long as we think it is. But if it is more than 5 minutes I would be asking questions.
This doesn't mean I suspect anything. I would just want to know what was going on.
Regarding the walking, if Skyla's mother was coming from the north why did he even need to go look for the girls? She would be driving right by them and could have picked them up if they weren't back by then. If he went to look for the girls because he was worried, the girls could have been in trouble over 1/2 mile away. You walk to find out?
I was thinking that they already said it would not aid in the capture of the perp, airing the 911 call. It was said to be extremely emotional.
With most of the family's history, does anyone else think that they (the family) or at least some of them know or at least have an idea who is responsible and are just planning on taking matters into their own hands? It's been mentioned before that they aren't really the type to sit down with the police and chit chat about who they've worked with and who they've crossed or angered along the way. Seems like they'd most likely do their own investigating and prosecuting.
I understand what you are saying, however.
What are the odds some guy is going to be stopped on that road, he is outside his vehicle, his vehicle is parked in an unusual way, his manner scares the people that see him and he is in the vicinity of where the girls are killed.
Those are some long odds.
Granted, but look at what they are telling someone, sometimes the POI specifically, through the news media.
Do your duty as a responsible citizen.
[paraphrase]Someone in this group of people who wasn't the shooter knows something.

But it is possible that the man was driving along, saw the girls in the ditch, stopped to look, and got out of there before he could be blamed when he saw what had happened.
What they can do is release a transcript of the 911 call - blacking out any info that is private or inflammatory. Most people just want to know what was said (generally) and what the person saw, (generally) and their demeanor/state of mind. That can all be communicated in writing without having to play the actual call. In fact what we want here is mostly a TIMELINE and if there was any info that might flesh out or eliminate any theories.
I for one do not listen to 911 calls in cases unless I HAVE to. Usually there is little I can glean once I read a transcript of the call and note what others say about the contents. I do not need to hear the actual call unless the caller is a suspect - and in this case, he is not. If this had been ME, I would not want the call out there in the media or online - it's hard enough to avoid the subject (and the pain) without having to discuss the call and the details over and over because everyone is listening to it. This was a FAMILY MEMBER of one of the victims who has been cleared of involvement - it wasn't someone calling about a stranger or an unidentified crime scene or body they found, it was her GPa. Hearing the tape isn't necessary - nor will it answer any questions that a transcript (or some info about it) won't.
My Opinion
On the OSBI website it says the POI was seen minutes before the gunshots were heard.
Wait - maybe I missed something, but why couldn't they have been killed before 5:08? They had been out walking since somewhere between 4:30 and 5:00, right? For all we know, they could have been killed on their way TO the bridge. Maybe?
