If this was a crime of opportunity, and I believe that it is....
In 1999, debit cards were just getting popular. MOO is that as teens, its is quite likely that they paid for whatever they might have stopped to buy in cash, whether it was gas or food. So no electronic trail there.
Its possible they stopped for gas, and encountered the killer before they were able to pump and purchase gas.
If they left Ozark, headed south on 231 toward Dothan, then decided to stop at the truck stop, that could have been a likely place for the encounter. Also, this is near south 123 the road where a resident claimed to have heard gunshots that night. Its possible that was t he murder scene due to the proximity of that site to the truck stop, if indeed they met the killer there.They might have stopped simply to use the bathroom, or to purchase a snack or gas.
I wondered if they might have encountered a trucker there, but from where the car and bodies were left on Herring St, this does not make sense as the killer would have had a good little walk back to the truck stop to retrieve his rig. Certainly he would not want to take the chance of being seen walking back to the truck stop either.
Unless he was driving as part of a team and had help.....
