This is the reason why I don't think the girls ever left the trail area with the killer. In a small town like that there is no way he would risk being seen with the girls in broad daylight out in public.
It's hard to judge the exact time that fhe cam frames were taken, and LE are being tight-lipped about it. The guy is headed east or southeast, but appears to be turning to his left, which I'm assuming is off of the trail. Did he follow them off of the trail, then after the murders walk up or along the steep embankment, to the cemetery area? It's a short distance. Then there's what I'll call an 'access road' which is in one of the Fox 59 videoa. The road can't be too far from where the bodies were found. "Remote area" could mean different things to differenf people, a matter of opinion. As a hiker who is used to very challenging terrain, my opinion is where they were found wasn't really all that remote. Which makes me wonder if this was their normal hiking route, to the cemetery, then back, to the bridge and back to the parking lot.
A post up above alluded to the idea that the guy in the pics is not who they are looking for, which could be the case. I've seen it a few times in "whodunit" type cases, and wonder if the FBI train LE folks to do that sort of thing.
I'm wondering too if they're waiting for certain people to show up on SM who haven't been heard from, so to speak, since early in the week.
So many loose ends, although I wonder how much LE knows that they're not willing to share. A case im SC is what drew me to WS. It took years for LE to release key info on that case, and I'm sure it's just fhe tip of the iceberg, in fact what was released may have been a ruse to draw out the perps, make them slip up, etc.
