... How come we are so sure that there were just two of them on the trails and MHB, that no friend joined them, after all? All recreations show just two, but why is it implausible that they met with a friend, or someone?
All photos that are made are of the bridge, Abby and BG, but how do we know that no one was standing behind Libby when she was taking the photos/videos? Imagine Libby’s feeling if someone (“a friend”) was standing behind her, Abby has almost crossed the bridge, and that oddball BG was somewhere in the middle. That explains why Libby didn’t yell, nor called 911. Among three people, she’d feel protected.

This person is silent now because of fear (what was done to the girls), and also, shame since they abandoned their friends.
Is it plausible?
Plausible? I say "yes." Unlikely, but certainly possible IMO. In your hypothetical situation, the third girl runs home after escaping? And then two possibilities: 1.) She doesn 't tell anybody, and hasn't told anybody to this day. Or 2.) She tells parents, police get a sketch artist to work with her, etc. Police and the family keep a very tight hold on the "third girl" news both to protect the girl and to preserve her eventual testimony at a trial. Other possibilities certainly exist, yes?
Plausible, yes. Likely, no. Interesting subject for thought and discussion: yes. Thanks!
