I still can't get the idea out of my head that they had to have either gone with someone they knew OR there were people who held their hands over their mouths.
I just can't believe that if it were an abduction that neither girls wouldn't have screamed or started crying or SOMETHING that would have made noise. ESPECIALLY if TG did come riding by right about that time. I don't think that even if there was a knife or a gun that those girls (as terrified as they had to be) would have been completely silent.
However, if the people who were coming by had in earbuds or something the crying or even screaming wouldn't have made a difference in the world...
But wouldn't you think that if someone came by on the trail that at least ONE of the girls, if not both would have kicked, screamed, SOMETHING that would have drawn attention? Maybe wishful thinking...
