Good points Jazz Tune. TY for sharing your theory.
Why put them in the car and drive them around to, the cemetery? and carry them down? force them to walk down? How in broad daylight? Or do you theorize he went somewhere else with the girls and then brought them back under darkness?
Your theory was he planned it so as to not risk being seen from the bridge crossing the water? Then why accost them in broad daylight on the bridge where anyone could have happened along?
Thanks for your kind comments! Good questions too.
Here's my take on them. I haven't figured them all out completely, but I DO think he put them in the car strictly to lessen his chances of getting caught. With them hidden in the trunk, he got away before anyone was even looking for them yet.
I believe he took them elsewhere to torture them (hate typing that!) in a secluded, isolated area. It wasn't going to be out in the open where he had to worry about being seen, or the girls being heard.
He wanted to 'savor' the moment, and it wasn't going to be a rush job either. I hate to think of what they endured.
Imo, he and perhaps an accomplice did bring them back under the cover of darkness. Why he chose that site I have no idea. Seems very risky even with the darkness.
I can't decide either whether they were still alive when they were brought back. It would have been much easier for the perps to march the girls to it, but searchers were out. The girls could have hollered out, if still alive.
So, no, I think they were deceased at that point, although I can't imagine how they were transported there.
As for abducting them in broad daylight, that's true, but keep in mind the girls were on the far side of that bridge. It was February.
Though it was a warm day, it was still wintertime. He didn't expect many people to be there anyway.
He wasn't worried either that someone else would be on that bridge. He knew the shape it was in. Dangerous, rickety, no railings. (Made me nervous just watching the YouTube videos.) He knew most people would not go on it.
Yes, he DID take a risk, but he wasn't concerned. He figured no one was going to follow him across that bridge.
The girls were sitting ducks for him...
Thank you for asking my opinion. I'm always happy to give it, even though it may very well be completely wrong. I do like reading other people's opinions too.
I also enjoy reading your posts. Please keep sharing your thoughts as well...
