Two women are seen chatting to James Cooper, 25, and James Kouzaris, 24, in a bar in the resort of Sarasota just hours earlier in video camera footage released yesterday.
Officers are struggling to explain why the university friends ended up on a crime-ridden housing estate in what they believe was a botched robbery attempt.
They hope the blonde and brunette filmed in a bar called Smokin’ Joes by a surveillance camera can reveal more about the men’s plans for that night.
The images clearly show the quartet talking at 12.13am on Saturday in the busy venue. At 12.50am, the women are seen leaving and the men move to another table and strike up a conversation with another pair of women.
The final image released shows the Britons talking to two blonde women at 1.21am. Police want to talk to all the women who socialised with the two men.
At around 3am, their bodies were found riddled with bullets within 50 feet of each other in a backstreet.
The two university friends, who were staying 12 miles away, were killed after they were both shot several times in the back as they tried to run away.
It also emerged yesterday that the teenager charged with the murders had been released from jail just 12 hours earlier over another gun crime. Read More
