 ZION, Ill. (AP) - Krystal Tobias and Laura Hobbs became fast friends after Laura moved to town last summer, exploring nearby Beulah Park together and riding through the neighborhood on Laura's bike — Krystal standing on pegs attached to the back wheel.
Authorities believe their friendship was so tight it's possible 9-year-old Krystal might have tried to help her 8-year-old best friend during an attack by the girl's enraged father.
Jerry Hobbs was ordered held without bond Wednesday on charges of beating and stabbing both girls to death in the wooded park where authorities said he apparently had tracked Laura down to order her home.
