Morning Folks, finally decided to register after following all of the threads. I had figured there would have been an arrest by now. but nope. Since we really aren't getting anywhere, I thought I'd share my own thoughts and theories. There are a few holes in them since we don't have all the information.
I think that BG was NOT aware it was a school holiday. If he is a middle aged man with no kids, he has no reason to be bothered with seeking that information out. I think he was thinking more along the lines of, 'It's a nice Monday, people are in school/at work. There will be fewer people walking the trails". He was looking for a woman to do unspeakable things to. Maybe he was hoping for a female shift worker or someone who had the day off and decided to go for a nice walk and he would pounce then. The trails would be less crowded on a weekday in his mind.
Perhaps he saw the girls or didn't see them before the attack I don't know. He was being inconspicuous somewhere on that trail. Maybe the larger of the girls went off the trail, near his hiding spot. Maybe she had to pee and went off the trail. He didn't get a good look at her, thus didn't realize her true age, before deciding the time was right. He grabbed her and killed the poor girl. Then he hears her friend calling for her and realizes she wasn't alone. He goes to find the friend He concocts a story fast that the girl's friend was hurt. Poor girl on the bridge senses something isn't right and starts filming. But she has to go to her friend. BG makes her go fast (you hurry someone, they have less chance of thinking things through rationally). He is leading her to her friend, "Down the hill." He has no choice to kill her because he knew that he wasn't getting out of the area without being seen.
That being said, I also can't shake the SK theory and Lyric and her cousin. That is fishy too.
All of this just my opinion. Thank you for listening.
