I was in the process of replying when the thread closed Don't know to bring it forward so suffice it to say I was responding to @MassGuy.
I agree that the motivation was almost certainly sexual but I wonder about the possible "connection" alluded to by the previous poster because it has crossed my mind, here and there. Could BG somehow have known the girls or "of" them through a younger sibling or acquaintance? BG had this on his mind for sometime, no doubt. He may not have singled out Abby and Libby necessarily as his target in his mind, but did the opportunity come to him by sheer chance?
It was said somewhere that Libby was calling around for a ride to take them to the trail. Who all did she call? Were either of the girls posting what their plans for the afternoon were on social media or texting friends? The police are looking for someone who can attest to a vehicle being parked in the area in and around 12 p.m., plenty of time to get into position, the ideal location to strike. Maybe I'm reaching here, but I do think it's a possibility that BG knew the girls were going there, knows the area very well, well enough to hide until he found the opportunity to strike when no one was there to witness it. If someone else did show up, he would have abandoned the attempt. Supt. Carter's words directed to the killer were very emotional and purposeful and I can't help but think when he asked the killer what would his family think of him, that he has strong suspicions about who BG is.
Just my random thoughts this evening
The original map is not to scale.
I did nothing with the orientation except make the compass already included on the map point NORTH.
I was only trying to help @gitana1 because she said she wished she had that particular map but with it pointing NORTH.
There is something that I can not fathom in this whole situation. It seems that many people assume it is sexual in nature. Supposedly.
But if that is the case, one doesn’t just kill and run. He wants some time with them. For this, the killer left surprisingly little time. And in general, abduction of two teenage girls in broad daylight leaves him zero time. Why not wait till the evening, a single person on the bridge? Makes no sense.
Unless he planned to return back? But he must have known that kids would be searched for.
No probs Cherokee, you were just trying to help, as you say. I'm just trying to point out that the map being used is terrible in terms of orientation, scale and accuracy.
He fantasized about the attack but didn't think about all the details and complications
It was a crime of opportunity, he went there hoping for a specific situation
There most likely was not sexual assault, Because the lack of time and controlled environment
I do believe we will eventually find out that SA was a large part of the original motive
I honestly think he panicked killed them and got the heck out of there
I don't believe he was experienced and I think it was likely frenzied murder
He was just lucky he didn't get caught that very day
I think as MG said Luck has a way of running out
All just my speculation

But then, it still sits in him. The urge. He is terribly dangerous and needs to be arrested.
@gitana1 I am reposting my overhead map again. North=up/south=down orientation. Just in case you missed it on the last page of the last thread. It has points of interest labelled.

Carter is with the ISP, right? Not Delphi police?
I had never seen it stated as "person or persons" before in any language regarding this case. Is this standard language?

I totally agree. It’s not just likely, it’s overwhelmingly likely.Stats say most children who are abducted by perps are dead within two hours, if they are killed, I believe. This guy would have had two hours...though he did not need that long. No one was going to start a major search right at the time they did not show up as planned. And if he had them out of sight, which clearly he did, he had time to do what he wanted. It does not take very long to assault a young girl, or even two, if you have them in your power. My guess he was gone within an hour...well before any searching began.
He did not just kill them because they happened to be there. They served a purpose for him, and I can’t think of another reason an adult male murders young girls. It is basically agreed he did not know them. This crime fits a sexual crime in every way, imo. But of course we won’t ever know unless there is a trial one day.

True, at this point everything is an assumption but the truth is, most crimes similar to this are of a sexual nature.There is something that I can not fathom in this whole situation. It seems that many people assume it is sexual in nature. Supposedly.
