As you can deduce from the above messages the victims were both known to the perpetrator. We are continuing to investigate but very few leads are currently available to us. It appears the second victim tried to hide and call her friends for help but was discovered and killed before they arrived. We received an anonymous call and discovered the bodies. A coroner confirmed that time of death corresponds with the text message timeline.
