The story began May 28 in Michigan. A 15-year-old boy packed two .22 rifles, a filet knife and a suitcase into his mother’s Escalade and began the first leg of a journey that would take him from Ann Arbor, Mich., to Hazelton, Pa., then to Silver Spring, Md., Baltimore and eventually Durham.
Along the way, he picked up four teenage girls who ranged in age from just barely 13 to 15. In Hazelton, Pa., a former coal town in the Pocono Mountains, Wu and Wurzel, each
purporting to be homeless, joined the carload.
Wu, who came to the United States from China on a student visa, had taken a bus from New York to Pennsylvania.
Wurzel, described by law enforcement officers as the mastermind of the plan, had come in from Delaware, his home state.
The group had planned to pick up two other young people, possibly in Florida or California, after they left Durham.
The teens had never met each other or the two adults. But
all claimed to be familiar with each other from the Experience Project, a website at www.experienceproject.com that has the hook “Find people who understand you.”

Doesn't sound like two homeless guys that just got "sucked in" to a hairbrained scheme by a bunch of teens to me.
