UPDATE to the story posted on YW about the two girls missing: Virginia police confirmed that two bodies found Friday afternoon near the Virginia/West Virginia border were those of two Maryland teenagers missing since Jan. 19.
Loudoun County Sheriff’s investigators said the bodies discovered in a car Friday were those of 16-year-old Rachel Smith and 18-year-old Rachel Crites.
The teens were located inside a dark blue 1997 Subaru Outback Station Wagon registered to the Crites family, police said in a news release. The car was found along a power line easement near the area of Shady Lane off Va./W.Va 9, police said.
Police did not release a cause of death. There were no signs of trauma on the bodies, authorities said. Police do not suspect foul play.
The girls failed to return to their homes after telling their parents they were going to see a movie in Washington. They were last thought to be in the Charles Town area, according to police.

Was it foul play? Did they get lost? We need a law for GPS on cell phones in order to track…
May H”B have mercy on the parents and give them the strength to get thru this.
