From the beginning it seems LE has focused on the lake. I guess they have to start from somewhere and since the bikes were found there, it's a logical place to begin.
I have felt all along that these little girls are in the lake, that perhaps one of them got in too deep, and the other girl tried to come to her rescue. But I do wonder about what happened to their flip-flops - someone in a previous post mentioned that the flip-flops would probably have floated to the surface by now.
If they aren't in the lake then I am as bewildered as everyone else as to how these girls disappeared.
I thought they were swimming and then drowned in the lake in the beginning too based on something that happened to me when I was a child so I know exactly what happens when a child tries to save another child from drowning.
We were camping at a lake when my sister and I were about 8 and 10 (I'm older). My sis was looking at pretty rocks on the lake bed and I watched her as she crouched down to look at one or pick it up and she just tipped right over and rolled right into the lake which had a drop off and no gradual sloping of the waters edge. I looked around and my aunt who was supposed to be watching us was no where to be found so, I jumped in after her. In her panic, when she felt me she instinctively wrapped her legs around my legs and tried to climb up my body to escape. This pushed me down under the water and no way to kick my legs.
We would have both drowned if a really grouchy old man hadn't seen us and jumped in with all of his clothes on to save us. He was SO mad that no one was watching us. (My aunt had accidentally fallen asleep in the van which was parked nearby).
After one look at Meyers Lake I don't know why anyone would swim in that muck, it's disgusting water. I wouldn't swim in there OR eat any kind of fish that came out of there. Nasty!
At this point, I do believe that the girls were either abducted or went willingly with someone who had very bad intentions.
