There were plenty of people about, exercising at the lake, I live in a very hot environment and the streets are deserted on hot days...this was not the case here.
Indeed, the girls wouldn't have gone on a ride at all, if it was extremely hot IMO.
It was also school holidays so there were quite a few people about who normally would not be about.
We have reports of people cycling, people jogging, paddling and fishing. Lots of folk at the lake that day.
So...exactly how would a single perp get two girls (one of whom was adult sized) to drop their bikes, surrender their purse, and walk without sound to a house that has already been searched and cleared, past fishermen, cyclists, joggers and paddleboaters, all unseen?
Not dismissing your opinion, just trying to see in my minds eye, how you think it could be done?
