It's incredibly sad how many young women were murdered during this time. And how hitchhiking remained an accepted form of travel even after so many victims were discovered. Some of these girls were runaways but it doesn't appear that money or lack thereof was the motivating factor with hitching rides. It was the false belief that everyone was a potential friend and fellow traveler when in reality the 60s and 70s started a cottage industry of serial killing because of the ease in which to find victims.
The hog-tying suggests to me these women weren't killed quickly but were tortured perhaps for days before they died. I would really like to know who those men were, married men, who were primes suspects without real evidence to back up the suspicion other than the murders ended after they died, one in a traffic accident. It kind of reminds me of an episode of Criminal Minds where the father of a teenage girl found out his neighbour had killed a young girl and rather than ratting him out, joined him in killing other girls.
