PlusTwo Different Weapons Used to Kill Okla. GirlsTwo Different Weapons Used to Kill Okla. GirlsThe Associated PressThe slayings of two girls who were shot along a rural back road have baffled investigators and struck fear into townspeople. Investigators did reveal that the girls were shot with two different weapons possibly by two suspects. (June 11)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE]Oklahoma officials say they know a little more than they did a few days ago...But they still haven't figured out who killed these girls and why.Taylor Paschal-Placker and Skyla Whitaker were gunned down along this road on Sunday.((Ben Rosser/OSBI: Right now I can confirm after talking with the medical examiner that we're looking for 2 different weapons. I'm unable to say whether it was a long gun or a handgun. We'll have to consider both. This also leads us to believe we're looking for 2 shooters.))The best friends had both been shot in the head and chest...only about a half hour after they left home for an afternoon walk.They were discovered by Placker's grandfather. Police say there's no indication that family or friends were involved...But they have determined the suspect is probably a local person since the girls were found in such an isolated area.As for the motive...they're considering a number of scenarios including the possibility that the girls were victims of random thrill killings.Others wonder if they stumbled upon a crime in progress...like someone cooking meth.Members of this small community say they've seen a surge in drug use and violence in recent years.Officials say they're not ruling anything out or turning away any help.((We got a lot of calls offering assistance including FBI/DEA/US Marshals. Anytime we begin to move we have a lot of resources to bring to bear.))A 25 thousand dollar reward is being offered for any information about the murders.
