just my personal experience with this same age group:
kids do tell you they are going somewhere quickly and will be right back and it evolves into something else entirely if you let them out of your sight and you have to go hot footing after them.
grandma could have been distracted because she was also watching other children at the same time (article upstream) and not noticed the actual time and what they had on because she was herding all the other kids around or doing something else
further more: kids this age will get distracted and forget what you just told them... like be back in ten minutes... well if they don't have an alarm on to notify them of when ten minutes has passed some kids will keep on keeping on thinking.. hey ten minutes has not passed yet....
I personally think Grandma started looking for them when she had to leave the house (wasn't that posted upstream that she told them that?) and maybe she didn't realize in all the hustle that the two were still out on bikes in their otherwise safe and secure town that they feel safe biking around?
Now a little injection of scary just because it DOES happen..: my friend when I was in fifth grade, Tina Marie Harmon, went missing from the same sort of bucolic town as this where we all left our doors open, keys in the car, etc, in the late 1980s. She got off the bus and vanished and was later found to be the victim of a serial killer from Akron! Like 30 miles away.. preying on girls like this. We were all completely shocked.
Either way, this grandma seems to have had a lot going on that morning watching all those children... and I could see how her times are off in the reporting. With all that being said they seemed to get on this right away and are doing the best they can to find these girls and figure out what happened to them....
That is just my two cents.. my opinion, etc... I tend to think that the girls came across someone in the woods that lured them to a car or on foot to a car or somewhere else. I also think it happened quickly. I don't think there was a sign of a struggle because they were lured. That means someone told them a convincing story to go with them. Has anyone seen the documentary that attempts to lure children and almost all of them went despite being taught of stranger danger? I will look it up and post it... shocking... almost all of them went.
the timeline is tight here or seems to be... hopefully they are able to get at least a bit more in this lake drain to lead them to where these girls are.
jmhoo :moo: at this point
