That was my first thought when I saw this story break out.  She was last seen around 1:30 AM and wasn't reported missing until well after 9:00 AM.

There is something very strange about this whole thing.  According to local news they were seen on surveillance footage walking together at around 1:45 AM.  She appeared to have a significant injury to her head and "other trauma".  A little less than 2 hours later the boy was seen walking back alone.

What is strange to me is that they were "walking together" after she had some injury/trauma done to her.  Why would she be walking with him if he had attacked her in some way?

The other thing that I can't wrap my head around is what are 13 and 14 year old children doing out well after midnight?

If the head trauma was severe enough it's possible she wasn't fully aware of her circumstances. Head injuries are a curious thing. Think of the troops who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan with TBIs. Most don't remember even vague details of what happened right after the incident that caused their injury, just that they woke up at some point in a helicopter, a field hospital, etc. 

Sadly this girl didn't live long enough to remember anything. 

I hope this wakes parents up and makes them realize they need to keep better tabs on their kids. Too many have the "it'll never happen to me/us" mentality though.
