CNN reports (Updated 4:23 PM EDT, Fri November 02, 2018)
“"At this point in time we have no credible information that a crime took place in New York City,’ [Chief of Detectives Dermot] Shea said, ‘but it is still under investigation.’
[SBM]
Before their disappearance, the sisters were living in some kind of ‘shelter-like’ facility due to abuse allegations that came up in their home jurisdiction.
Shea did not elaborate or give further details on reports of abuse, which he said are not corroborated at this time.
According to Shea, investigators believe the sisters left Fairfax, Virginia, on either August 23 or 24 and took different methods of transportation, including Uber, to New York, where they arrived on or about September 1.
[SBM]
In video police have seen, the sisters were in ‘apparently good health’ as recently as a week before their bodies were found on the riverbank, duct-taped together in a way that appeared to be ‘keeping them together,’ Shea said, but was not meant to bind them.
Investigators have also spoken to an eyewitness who came forward Wednesday and told police he saw two girls sitting in a playground park adjacent to the Hudson the day the bodies were found.
The witness was out exercising at about 7 a.m. when he saw two girls sitting about 30 feet apart with their heads in their hands, praying.
Shea described the witness as a ‘credible source’ who told police the encounter had been ‘haunting him.’
Shea also confirmed investigators believe the girls were alive when they entered the water. The location where the witness saw two girls was ‘a very short distance from the Hudson River,’ and such that they could have walked right in.
[SBM]
The New York Police Department is not ready to determine the official causes of death. Authorities are investigating whether the deaths were the result of suicide, homicide or an accident, said Phil Walzak, deputy commissioner for public information for the New York police. (BBM)
