  Medical Notes:

Jennifer Esson and Kara Leas, both 16, left a friend's house in north Newport around 1:00 a.m. on January 28, 1995. It was dark and rainy, but the girls had decided to walk home anyway. They were last seen walking on Northwest 56th Street toward Highway 101.

Two and a half weeks later, loggers came upon their bodies about a mile from where the girls disappeared. They were found on top of one another, both strangled and covered with brush and other debris.
