"The girls were 17 year old High School students who were driven to a frat party that was 40 miles from home."
I'd be willing to bet a substantial amount of money that they didn't look, or act, 17. I'm guessing that these young ladies have been out of control for a while, and that nearly anybody in whatever town they came from would be _more_ than happy to tell us all about it.
Doesn't matter. If the angry father of two seventeen year old girls shows up at a drinking frat party, storms in the door, and says I want my daughters back right now...
The only response from the partygoers is, "Yes sir, right away." Anything else can and should get them hurt, bad.
They were MINORS.

Exactly. These "girls' left home on the 17th. They hadn't just left that afternoon.
