The sisters, Rotana Farea, 22, and Tala Farea, 16, were found last Wednesday.
They were bound together by tape at their waists and ankles, facing each other.
The sisters wore similar black leggings and fur-trimmed jackets.
No obvious signs of trauma ...
The sisters were Saudi citizens, but had been living in the United States, since 2015.
Their mother told detectives the day before the bodies were discovered, she received a call from an official at the Saudi Arabian Embassy, ordering the family to leave the U.S. because her daughters had applied for political asylum.
They were discovered about 225 miles away from Fairfax, Virginia, where they lived and reported missing on Aug. 24 (bodies discovered Oct. 24) — police urge the public — to come forward with information.
Prior to their recent disappearance, Tala and Rotana Farea were reported missing in December 2017 when they left their family home and were placed in a shelter.
But there's still few public details about either sister's past. "We are looking at all clues in their past life," police said.
