Have you seen anywhere where it said the girls knew him? I can't remember that. I just remember he said he knew their families.
Just because he knows their family name through knowing their dad or uncle or grandfather or whatever doesn't mean they knew him well or by name, IMHO.
I live in a small town. Almost everyone here could say they know my family in some respect, but my kids would know the names of very few adult acquaintances. They would recognize many more by face. I wish we knew what was said on those videos and if it suggested they knew the person even by sight/familiarity. Perhaps the suggestion of familiarity was there and that's why LE interviewed and served SWs to locals after the fact.
There's no way to know for sure at this point, I guess.
