I'd imagine the search that night involved lots of shouting their names and hoping for one of them to shout back but probably no in-depth looking at undergrowth or anything else.
I think the most they expected to be wrong was that one to the girls had slipped and hurt themselves and that the phone had run out of battery.
No way would they have expected that in that short space of time two teenage girls would be murdered.
I can just imagine the optimism at that point. Yes worried they were missing and likely to be out in the cold and dark all night but not really thinking any real harm had come to them, certainly nothing sinister.
Must have been horrific the next day.
Right. At that time they were searching for living girls who'd only gotten lost or hurt. They weren't looking for dead bodies. :-(
