Questions: Was more than one perpetrator involved? Was the FBI agent correct when he said that "an acquaintance" of the women was involved? Were the obscene calls or the van sighting connected to the abductions? How did the abductor(s) get into the house? This one is a real mystery. No trace of the women has ever been found. Thanks for considering the case.
