And this was very much, unfortunately, a situation where two males would absolutely have the upper hand over. Yes. A young girl who's smaller than them. Barefoot. Barefoot and doesn't know her way around here. In the dark. And who knows, they may have stopped her, struck up a conversation, found out that she wasn't from around here.

That there was. It's hard to pin it all together. Right. And these two people are still unknown. So it's like. Yeah. You know. Oh, God. Yeah. The investigation was tough.

Investigators theorize that the driver may have gone a short distance down the road, but turned around at an abandoned gas station and went back in Kristen's direction.

In fact, one witness, like I said, reported seeing those two young men walking about 50 yards behind her around 1215 a.m. Around 115 a.m., so an hour later, witnesses reported seeing two young men who matched earlier descriptions walking eastward away from the cornfield toward the center of town. Oh, this sounds scary.
