I thought that way too - and then I went to Delphi.
The bridge area isn't that secluded. The trail that leads to the bridge isn't far from the road, almost until you're right on the bridge. You can see houses; people outside in their yards can see hikers. When you arrive at the high bridge, it is more secluded, but in the winter especially, the area around the bridge is open, and the distances aren't so great that you wouldn't hear someone screaming. For example, Derrick went down the hill to the residences on the private end of road and found people at home. And there were other people around on the bridge close to when Abby and Libby were there. It's always seemed odd to me that no one reported hearing anything, especially if, as the family postulated, the girls fought back.
The MK segment was very good; she was asking the right questions but certainly not getting direct answers from Doug Carter. It bothered me that he wouldn't give straight answers. It felt more like he had a prepared speech aimed at raising his own profile on national television. He is, after all, a political appointee. As the ISP superintendent, he's not part of the active investigation team. I would have preferred to hear from someone with more connections to the nuts and bolts of the case.
Thank you very much for sharing your insight! It's always really great to read the thoughts of the very few who post here who are personally familiar with the area.
