Kell1...yep "something they can't get past to link them to the crime." Hmmm, I am thinking a relative who would go to their grave protecting the secrets of their child/spouse (ie provided an alibi or refuse to speak with LE.) Or, some really clever high tec whiz who put his phone on call forwarding so actual location would be impossible to prove? Or leave their cell phone in one location and use a "cloned burner phone" that simultaneously received same info.
I remember a case a long time ago in which police were able to clone the number on a pager and followed a suspect. Other thoughts (swirling all the time) if this was about cell phone/internet stuff...only one victim possessed a cell phone right? Then it would stand, if a meet up was planned, the attacker did not expect the second victim. Were the victims "treated" differently? Was the purpose to silence victim(?) , sexually assault victim (?) or avoidance of being exposed as a perv? How far would a desperate "pedo" go to protect their reputation, job, spouse, family etc. ??
Maybe that is how the killer can justify or live with this... a it was a "them or me scenario." In his selfish, self-centered mind, exposure was a fate worse than death.

Its usually an alibi they cant get past, or lack of any real physical evidence.
There have been cases, where people have come in and confessed, to murders, but there was no evidence to link them to it therefore (after a period of time) they had to be let go .
AS for the interaction with the victims, you could be correct in asserting that he wasn't expecting 2 people to be there, we don't know because no information regarding how the girls were killed or even what took place has been released.
Ill try to answer your questions individually"
Were the victims "treated" differently? - I cant say, its possible, but without any information, its all theory.
Was the purpose to silence victim(?) , sexually assault victim (?) or avoidance of being exposed as a perv?- Again we cant know because nothing pertaining to how the girls were killed has been released. I will say that certain things such as a sadistic motive dont really hold up given the location, it seems this was more a brief, and violent interaction, its entirely possible the offender planned to kill the girls , but we simply cant know . I will say in most cases, the murder of the victim is to prevent identification following a sexual assault, but that can be wither be planned or a due to panic post offense
The Why is usually unique to the offender, some dont want to be outed as a deviant, but thats often already well known, MOST, simply dont want to go back to prison, some panic, with a crying victim, some may actually enjoy watching someone die at their hand..again we cant know because LE has a lid on everything.
The overwhelming majority of these crimes are sexually motivated.
How far would a desperate "pedo" go to protect their reputation, job, spouse, family etc. ??- Well usually they arent trying to protect anything other than themselves, they are often out of work, living with their parents or some other relative, They have a history of frequent moves and address changes, and thats usually tied, to their deviant behavior IE they got caught doing something somewhere else, and had to "go live with their aunty and uncle in Bel-Air", if you get what i mean .
They are often classified, as "Social Marginals", preferring a clandestine and culturally subdued lifestyle.
They are often driven by intense sexual urges, even more so because what they desire is illegal and not as easy to come by as a consenting adult , these urges well up , often with the help of materials traded on the internet , so much so that they are willing to risk incarceration to do so such as trading in Child sexual materials, etc.. they may try other means of sexual expression such as exposing themselves to their desired victim type etc, they may patronize prostitutes, that resemble their desired victim range, but that is rare , most are left to masturbatory practices, however that eventually becomes unsatisfying , and they may move to try to molest a child, or in some cases, if no adult is around , abduction and rape .
Maybe that is how the killer can justify or live with this... a it was a "them or me scenario." In his selfish, self-centered mind,
exposure was a fate worse than death. -Its not so much exposure they fear, its incarceration, they usually live a lifestyle where noone knows who they really are anyway. You'd probably be stunned, how many sex offenders live near you if you check your states registry, however how many of them will you remember in a few hours?, what happens when these lower level offenders finish their sentence? they get out, yes they are under supervision, but for how long ? does that prevent them from re-offending ? not at all.
They arent worried about being outed as a sexual deviant, often those around them already know they are , they are worried about being sent to prison where those who commit crimes, against kids are usually extorted, exploited and pandered out to other inmates for fear of being killed.
Its difficult to control 2 victims, it can be done, but its difficult , one may make a break for it , or do something like scream to attract attention. so most often one incapacitated in some way (tied up, or isolated some how, killed or severely injured), but this can also happen under threat "you move and ill kill you or her"
The problem for the offender is when he murders one with the other still alive, especially if the living victim saw the other killed, now the individual knows what is going to happen.
Because we dont know anything about the interaction between killer and victim(s) in this case, we can only base an analysis on what little info we know.
Anything else is pure conjecture .
He either came upon these 2 by chance, (saw them enter, followed them or was there himself already) , or it wasnt a chance meeting , IE he knew they or at least one of them were gong to be there so its 50/50
How he gained control of the victims, was either force, producing a weapon, (or threat of force) or by ruse, such as producing a badge, or conning the victims to come with him to meet someone, or see something, again its 50/50
Motive , has to be left to the odds, and overwhelmingly these crimes, are sexually motivated, therefore i strongly lean toward that , it could be wrong, but without any information we have to go with percentages. There are other possibilities (anger, revenge etc..) but the numbers and from the way LE is leaning I feel this was a sexually motivated crime .
How they were killed is still a mystery, I have my feeling, which I wont disclose, but there are several possibilities, controlling multiple victims is easiest with a firearm, even if it wasn't used to kill the victims, many killers use firearms to gain control then resort to other (usually more brutal) methods to kill their victims, however depending on the level of compliance by the victims, sometimes, just threatening violence is enough to get victims to comply.
Body recovery location: Think about it, if you are going to sexually assault and murder someone, are you going to do that where you will be seen ? Not usually , hence whey in these cases, 1) the offender is usually most familiar and comfortable with the body recovery site and 2) The offender usually hides the body to avoid detection and 3) The body recovery site and the murder scene are usually 1 and the same or very close to each other
