If they don't line the bullets with the guns soon in that small town...something is a just not right. Somebody had to hear those shots.

Or even yet....see someone coming or going off that back road which by the way is really hard to find by any stranger...I say there is only 98% chance that it was someone unknown to them. Can't find that road even if you have directions! Have to be familar with the area.

Drug dealers can be VERY familiar with the remote area, but not known to these 2 girls. I say what is most "telling" is what is not being printed. The caliber of the weapons (still not public) says a lot about who is doing the shooting.
I say get a chopper in the air and see what lurks in the brush around there. Pot fields, meth shacks?

in a rural area like that it is nothing to hear gunshots all the time. I am from that aea, it might be a rancher shooting at a wild dog or something.

While the spirit of citizenship and neighborliness is always quite welcome, news articles should not come affixed with information asking the public to donate monies to the victims' families--which is implicit in the concluding paragraph here: read it, and feel guilty unless you chip in.

That is not the purpose of a news story in a paper which wants to be taken seriously in its reporting of this heinous incident. Noting the reward in the penultimate paragraph, conversely, is perfectly proper as it does not overstep the bounds of both family and reader privacy, and also deals with the actual horrendous circumstance which makes this story "news."

The World should, however, publish the contents of its last paragraph here in a high-visibility site both in its print and online editions. Just not in a news story.

mmmm. Interesting that one of the girls grandfathers found them on a dirt road a short time after they left. I find that odd. I hope they catch the killers / killer soon! My sympathy to their parents.

Pretty bad when kids / people can not go for a walk with out some demon raping them, beating them or killing them. :(

(what in the world) he went looking for them because the one mother called to say she was coming to get her and the girls would not answer the cell phone they were carry. Nothing odd about that.

My prayers goes out to the families of these girls. I hope they catch whoever did this soon.

Turley you are correct there is nothing odd about that!
We shouldnt have to read 15 diff articles to get the whole story though and this sentence is what I was going by "Taylor's grandfather found the girls' bodies along a dirt road about 30 minutes after they left to go on a walk."
My prayers to the family.

the time frame from when these girls were last seen alive and the girls were found,two weapons,two victims,found in location they frequented one near a ditch the other near road side by ditch,both shot by each weapon several times,the fact that both children wounds are similar cant help but believe the girls were together when they were shot,yet one several feet away near ditch,time it took to kill the children with two weapons from the time they were last seen by witness and found by grandfather,not to mention that one of the childrens body was apparently moved after her death,this based on the fact that both children shot in chest meaning they were facing thier attacker and had to be close by each other to have similar wounds other than that you would have to assume the shooter is ac rack shot and lured the one girl near the dich in attempt to lure both girls shot the one near the road in the chest then shot the other there by the ditch then ran up to the road turned the girls body over commenced to shoot her several times then turned her back over then went back to the other body and shot her several times and rolled her over or back over keep in mind this is with two seperate weapons and with the time alloted
