What is the consensus that this was a completely random event, crime of opportunity. I was a freshman at SMSU in 92' here in Springfield, I had forgotten about this till the recent local news coverage which was mostly local/regional this past week. I haven't even heard anyone talk about it locally in 15 or more years.
Consider the state of the town at that hour when the girls were driving home. Bars close at 1:30, even now, you can get anywhere in town in thirty minutes. Even though it was graduation night there isn't going to be hardly anyone out driving at 2:00-2:30 am for a legitimate reason. Most of the bar crowd would have made it home by 2:00 and two bright red cars headed through town at that late hour might have attracted some unknown to commit an impulse crime.
It just seems implausible to me that it was a planned event, because they were not supposed to be at the house. How many people even knew they were headed there, a handful at best, maybe less. Did anyone check to see if the odd celery green color was a factory produced color for that year(s) and make?
