OMG, with this campsite virtually AT the Lodge, and the dog there, this binding and gagging of two persons withIN a tiny tent, by one man slinking up on them in the middle of the night...the mind does just boggle.

That tends to prove my theory that the girls were brought here, already bound gagged throats cut--and dead.

Think about it, he would have had to crawl in there with them, what a tangle of arms and legs in the pitch dark. Yet he unfailingly managed to find just which parts of each to bind, gag, and cut throats, all with no appearance of a struggle, nothing to look disorderly, they were just lying neat as a pin each on her own separate sleeping bag and air matteress.

Gimme a break.

I will take that break with you.Bloody cut throats will attract critters.

Crystalk, I have no opinion whatsoever as to Rices guilt or innocence, but if you are going to be a conspiracy theorist try and get at least some of your facts straight

The camp/murder site was not "virtually AT the Lodge". It was, in fact, across (east of) the skyline drive in White Oak Canyon, at least 1/2 mile from Skyland Lodge area, which is on the west side of the north-south running Skyline Drive.

I doubt he (whoever it was) crept upon them in the middle of the night. Probably meet them during the day, followed them to their campsite, threatened them at knifepoint, then bound, gagged and eventually murdered them.
