IMO, the RL affidavit says that the FBI agent believed the girls didn't fight back, and the recently unsealed warrant affidavit says that LE believed RA led the girls to where he murdered them. The PCA mentions clothing from both victims being in the creek just south of where the bodies were found, but there's no mention of any of their shoes or clothing being anywhere else. And now we know L's phone was under her body. Statements can be interpreted differently, and I respect that.
JMO, but these young girls had an adult man pull a gun on them at the south end of the bridge and that was that. I would not expect them to run, or leave bread crumbs, or throw the phone defiantly so their kidnapper couldn't find it. They were children, by all accounts, and I don't expect them to have done anything but be terrified and compliant, and I interpret the document statements as supportive of that. Again, JMO.
When DG called L at 3:11, for the first time, that was 46 minutes before the "muddy and bloody" guy was seen on 300 (an hour after the kidnapping began). L's phone could have been on silent, I know, but the plan was for DG to call when he got there, so it's very possible her phone wasn't on silent, IMO. And DG did call, repeatedly, all while her phone was right there with them. The killer was apparently still in the woods, maybe still with the girls, during those calls. Maybe he killed them quickly and just stayed in the woods hiding that entire time, so wasn't aware of the calls, IDK, but I feel like all the signs point to L and A being wholly controlled and helpless against a grown f'ing man who likely knew someone was looking for them. It makes me angry.
