I don't believe a big search party was happening at 3 or even at 4. I think it was a few family members looking when they didn't show up in the parking lot. I'd be willing to bet the larger search where he would likely hear people yelling for the girls didn't happen till closer to 5. I don't see how he would know he needed an alibi at this point unless he knew they were dead and when the critical time was that they went missing. I person without knowledge of the crime itself wouldn't know at that point that the girls were killed between 2 and 3 and certainly didn't know anyone was even looking for missing girls until closer to 5, if not later.
I can’t think why RL would even be asked for an alibi before the bodies were discovered the following day. That first day the girls were only considered missing, no foul play suspected so there’d be no reason for LE to have been seeking alibis from any potential suspects. JMO
