Last-Minute Plans At The Mall
- J.B. waited at the mall for Tracy while Tracy closed her shift at J.C. Penney and they planned to go to a field party that night.
- Tracy called her mom from a phone in her room to avoid her stepdad and asked for a five-minute extension before heading to the party.
Car Clues Point To Homicide
- Investigators found the girls' bodies in JB's trunk and the car was unlocked with purses and wallets inside but no keys.
- The presence of a 9mm shell casing and bodies wet from the waist down suggested murder at a remote watery location, not a simple disappearance.
Witnesses And Parking Lot Footage
- Two women at a convenience store gave the girls directions and saw Tracy use a pay phone to call her mom.
- Surveillance later showed a white pickup pulling into the lot after the women left, but it did not capture an abduction.
