 Initially unsure of the origin of what he had seen, and believing the forms may be mannequins, Prescott later returned to the site with his wife Marie, who fainted upon taking a closer look at what her husband had earlier seen.The forms were actually the nude, frozen bodies of the Grimes sisters, and the Prescotts immediately reported their findings to the Willow Springs Police Department.The girls' bodies lay upon a flat, horizontal section of snow-covered ground directly behind the guard rail, which extended for just before the incline of the embankment of Devil's Creek.
