Dead weight is really heavy. Deer sleds make it an easier task to perform.
I do not feel either one of our girls were killed immediately. BG had a well conceived plan with intent and purpose. BG planned this to be successful and not a failure. BG had an accomplice and perhaps immediate access to a vehicle. BG knew to leave them on RLs property due to RLs propensity to drink and drive. That location was not happenstance. RL lost one parcel of his real estate once his probation was revoked. Consider of the countless man hours spent on RL due to the children being placed on his property.
The two girls did not go through the creek water. The water level was too high, the current was swift and the water temperatures hovered near freezing. I cannot fathom a young girl jumping into that creek with her jeans and sweatshirt on and expecting not to drown from the weight of wet garments and shoes unless one expects they took the time to shed their clothing first. Our body temperature rapidly adjusts to become the same temperature as the exposed climate. That is a main factor in diving with proper dive skins. The girl's body temperature would have dropped significantly by the time they made it to RLs property. Again, the cumbersome weight of wet clothing and shoes would prevent this from being successful.
BG is dressed, some claim overdressed, for the weather. Did he plunge into that cold creek water with his shoes/boots, weapons, jeans, jacket, hooded sweatshirt, hat all the while hoping the girls did not drown but would continue to obey his verbal commands?
