That to me points to the guy being local and/or a hunter. The crime took planning, patience and time. Lots of time. Guy is either retired or on vacation or lives on disability (lots of people lie to the government that they cannot work to get paychecks for life) or pension. Or he has a job that allows him lots of off-time.
He kept his "murder kit" hidden under his jacket, maybe also in a fanny pack, etc. He was mobile and would wait for long periods of time in the woods waiting for the right victim(s) to come along. Hunters know how to move quietly in the woods and know how to avoid being seen.

What I cant wrap my head around is the fact that this appears to be a crime of opportunity. No one could have known those girls would be there unless they were family or it was discussed at school and someone overheard.
Who goes to a seemingly empty trail with weapon(s) on hand? What purpose would he have to be carrying any kind of weapon out there on his own?
If he did just happen upon the girls and decided to approach them, which we can only speculate as to why, especially without more information on COD, he would have had to be fairly confident no one else was out there. Although, its a very rural area there are homes nearby, cemetary etc. He had to have been familiar enough with the area to believe no one would see, hear or come along that way.
I just cant see how he just happened upon them, ready with a weapon and the mindset to attack. Makes me believe he had done this before giving him the confidence to do it in an open area and with two victims.
I also wonder if it was premeditated and he was someone who knew they would be out there so he came prepared.
