As far as Amanda saying that the overlook had been a party spot for drinking and smoking with Cassandra Hailey and her friends, and that information not jiving with what Hailey's family said: when young people go partying--especially smoking and underage drinking--parents and siblings are not likely to know. I know I didn't tell my siblings or parents where I partied when I was under drinking age. And unless Amanda is specifically asked whether or not the partying at the overlook happened before the Thomas-Dowski murders in 1986, there's no way to know.
In 1985, Virginia changed the legal drinking age to 21, so anyone born in 1968 or after would have been unable to drink legally until 21. Neither Hailey nor Call were 21 when they went missing. While it's possible that Keith Call and Cassandra Hailey were abducted somewhere on the way from the party near Christopher Newport, it's more likely that they did, indeed, go to the parkway on their own. There were beers found in the car; regardless of whose beers they were, they were in the car. Perhaps they had someone with them--someone who was of legal age to buy beer--or perhaps they left with a few from the party. Or perhaps someone else bought it for them and they took a few in to the party. In any case, it's not totally far-fetched to think that they could have gone to the overlook where Cassandra had partied before, in order to party, whether or not there was a 3rd person actually in the car.
Hi, I never meant it to sound like Amanda was a suspect, I just thought that LE should go back and talk to all Sandra's old friends and see if they have any new info or theories about who might have killed them.
Since Sandra would've been 16 in 1986, unless she or her friend had a drivers license, it's unlikely that Amanda & Sandra walked to the Overlook. More likely that they hitched a ride to the Parkway with an older friend? it might be worthwhile to find out how or who took the girls out to the Overlook? The coincidence of the Overlook being a place that Sandra hung out at and Keith's car being found there is suspicious?
I posted here some time ago that the drinking age changed in 1986 a few days before the first killings. I'll find it and repost it here.
**********************************************************
"The Virginia House of Delegates today approved and sent to the Governor a bill that would raise the legal drinking age for beer to 21 by 1987.
The bill, which was sought by Gov. Charles S. Robb, was approved 86 to 13. Already passed by the Senate, it would raise the beer-drinking age to 20 on Oct. 1, 1986, and to 21 a year after that. The legal age for drinking wine and liquor in Virginia already is 21."

Victims were all couples out on dates. Except for Daniel and Anamaria, who the CPK could have thought were a romantic couple.
What if the CPK hung out with Sandra and her friends at that Overlook years earlier? He could have been rejected by Sandra years earlier and wanted revenge.
