It sure could have happened by that route, too, Shiressleuth. That would present a steeper hill to climb down to reach the creek... but, as we know... the girls were ordered "down the hill" and it could have been THAT hill.
Just :moo:
Jumping off your post.
JMO...
IF they went across the creek (and I'm leaning towards they did), there's no saying they had to cross immediately after going "down the hill". They may have walked X yards on the south side to narrower or shallower water.
IIRC, there was crime scene tape at the south bank near the bridge. Maybe in JM's video?
While I'm on the subject of crossing the creek, I doubt BG had any concern for the girls being cold or getting hypothermia. He had other things on his evil mind that day. And given the supposed timeline of under an hour (if they never left the creek/bridge area) it sadly probably wasn't an issue.
As for BG, it has been noted on multiple threads that he appears overdressed for the weather. He may have had waterproof or weatherproof clothes on under the ones we see in the image from the video.
He may have hidden a backpack/duffle bag (LE asked at the very beginning if anyone saw/found one) somewhere on RL's property/outbuildings or somewhere else nearby and either took off his top layer or changed into a completely dry set he had in the bag, shoved the clothes he shed into the bag, escaped and vanished.
As as far as hypothermia, I'm guessing BG was high on a twisted adrenaline rush and it most likely didn't phase him.
JMO.
