My mom instincts kick in....but kids to be out from 1 pm till 5:30 PM. We have lived in lots of areas with hiking trails. I would never let my kids go out by themselves for that long. Did the girls carry water? I cannot find the weather for that area? Can anyone find weather for that night?
I know several people have responded to you and you said you didn't see a timeline. If you go to the media thread, you will find lots of info that has been complied over the past month. Here is a link to the post I did on 2/24- post #31 about the visit to the bridge with links to the supporting information-

On Monday, February 13, 2017 around 1:00- 1:30pm, Liberty German and Abigail Williams were dropped off near an abandoned railroad bridge known as "Monon High Bridge," east of Delphi to hike in the area. The girls were dropped off by Liberty's sister. The girls were not in school due to a scheduled day off (snow day not used), per the school calendar.
The girls were last seen in a photo posted to German's Snapchat account at 2:07pm showing Williams walking along the bridge. This was the last time anyone heard from either one of them.
The girls were supposed to meet at the same location to be picked up later in the afternoon between 3 and 3:30pm, but they never showed.
The family contacted police around 5:30 p.m. to report the girls missing. At 6.49pm on Monday, Abby's mother wrote a panicked post on Facebook for anyone who had seen the girls to please contact myself or the sheriffs department immediately! The girls havent been in contact for about three hours!!!!.
Also, many have said something about "they would never" type things here, which is why it is a very touchy subject. Here is a post I wrote about it on 3/04 and it still holds very true right now:
Only ONE person to blame here--- and that's the murdering creep. Not friends, not family, not sisters, not the girls, not the neighbors or the dogs or the park rangers or the man on the moon. No one should be questioned about their decisions except the person who decided to steal the life of 2 young girls and the innocence of an entire town. Everyone else will judge themselves harshly enough for things they could have never known would happen.

I posted more myself even earlier, but apparently I have a big mouth (or big typing fingers) because my saved posts to look back to can only be seen after 2/19. These were 2 teenagers who went off for a couple of hours to the local trails to take some pictures. They had a drop off and a pickup set up. No one should have ever thought they would not be safe.
