There is so little out there to be found about these poor girls...I hate to see their threads so empty :thinking:

their connection to each other might be the key to the case--not easy to take 2 at once--they must have known previously the person they went with?

I agree that it would be difficult to take two victims at once unless they knew, and perhaps, even trusted, whoever it was. And you are right, the connections between the girls are definitely the key to the case. I just wish there was more information out there to find about them and their routines, habits, etc.
