Found Deceased NC - Stephanie Mayorga, 27, & Paige Escalera, 25, Wilmington, 15 Apr 2020

I still think accident too and I wonder if "deep in the woods" isn't just a descriptor of why the car wasn't found sooner.

I think your right with the “deep in the woods” thing . Bc it’s really not that deeply wooded there....

I wonder what led LE to the area...seems most likely it would’ve been info from Stephanie’s cell.

at any rate, RIP ladies. ugh this just makes me so sad.

I only started reading this thread yesterday. Sad to see the latest news.

Such sad news. Found just a 12 minute drive from their apartment. I wish there could have been a better outcome. My sympathies go out to both families.

ugh what horrible news, took my breath away.
At this point Im definitely thinking accident, I've seen so many missing cases on here where in a week or two the persons car is finally found hidden on a route they use semi-frequently. I think there might be something to say about being more easily distracted in places close to home where one is very comfortable driving. moo

RIP ....something is strange the only damage described is "dents"

Damn, Stephanie was mostly likely found on her birthday.

It was her birthday yesterday, it’s not fair.

RIP ....something is strange the only damage described is "dents"

I believe it already had dents as well. When they were looking for them I htink they said it had two dents.

This breaks my heart. Such lovely young women who had their whole lives ahead of them.

I'm so saddened to hear this. The car on the transport trailer looks undamaged, no rollover damage appears to be evident as well. The families may choose not to release the cause of death as is their right. We can only hope they find closure and comfort that the girls, at least, were brought home.

The window looks smashed to me. Maybe hydroplaned. If I remember correctly around this time we had some strong storms in the area

LIve on news right now, two bodies found inside of a vehicle related to the missing women.

Wow, i just learned that they were found .... Shocked! I did have a bit of hope that they were hiding out. So sad!

I think it looks like there may be possible damage to the back tire/axel? but yeah, if you could see the front of the vehicle that would help.

 

[Canadianmom2three]

I looked up Tanner Barth on Twitter and found an article posted that had a video of the car being put onto the truck. If you look close I think you can see damage to the front of the car. The back tire is moving tho. You can see the video at the link below. I will also screen shot and circle the place where I see the damage on the front, it looks like the hood of the vehicle is bent up and it moves as the car is moved. JMO but I'm thinking accident.

I can't quite see damage to the front but that's just me and my eyes "ain't what they use to be".

ETA... Seems I do see "something" on that far side front but ??

LOL yeah its hard to see, if you watch the video on a computer screen you can see the part I've circled moving as they move the car. It's not 100%, but I'm pretty sure I see the hood of the car or something sticking up there. JMO of course.
