I'm not convinced these are accurate, actually. They heard but apparently did not see the children. IMO, sounds can be funny, and there has been a lot of discussion about the way that different sounds works in this case (including in these threads), such as whether people could hear things from one side of the house to the other. It seems to me that they could have heard something or heard A child, and assumed after the fact, when they knew there were two children there, that they had heard both.
No ... I don't think that two independent witnesses who had both lived on the street for a long time, and who would be familiar with the sounds in their neighbourhood, would both be mistaken about this.
Independent witnesses - people, pings, CCTV, GPS - are the best verifiers in any case.
I think that whatever scenario took place, we need to include the sounds of the children playing sometime(s) between 9-9:30am.
imo
