It does not sound like suicide, it sounds like honor killing.

Two sisters committing suicide? They won’t choose drowning, pills maybe, gunshot maybe, but they are not gonna tape themselves together and jump in a river. I don’t care what race or culture they are from, it won’t happen.

Doesn't sound like two girls who planned to commit suicide.

Maybe they were doing a Willa Cather "Paul's Case" thing.

Like Henry Marshall who was hot on the trail of Lyndon Johnson’s buddy Billie Sol Estes. Marshall became so despondent he killed himself with a bolt action .22 rifle. Coroner ruled he shot himself 5 times in the torso. Lot of effort, working the bolt, shooting, working the bolt again, etc. Sounds like the NYPD is afraid of telling the truth, don’t want to upset members of the Religion Of Peace.

The sisters were Saudi Arabian nationals.
The Farea family moved to the U.S. from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in mid-2015, AM New York reports, and lived in Fairfax, Virginia.

They had a history of going missing from home.
According to the New York Times, Tala and Rotana had initially been reported missing in December 2017. When Fairfax police found them, the sisters were placed in a shelter after alleging abuse and asking for protection. They were then reported missing from that facility at the end of August of this year.

The NYPD emphasized that the “duct tape was not binding them” but “keeping them together” and that “it’s entirely credible that they entered the water alive.”

On Wednesday, October 24, two women were found floating in the Hudson River, near the 68th Street pier in New York City. They were fully clothed and their bodies were duct-taped together at their waists and ankles.

Why couldn't they just flee to another State?

Well, we don't know what the answer may be. While I have read that they were taped together, I am not privy to see the evidence. Without evidence all I can do is conjecture from what I have been told. Now this article is telling us it may be suicide. While most people would not commit suicide in the fashion that they are alleged to have employed, by this article at any rate, I cannot speak for these two girls as to how they accomplished their goal if they were indeed suicidal. Your consideration of honor killing is also a valid theory. But the truth is we do not know, because we are limited by our lack of access to the facts and evidence.

BTW, if you want to kill your self painlessly. Take your car to a room, like your garage if you have one, and leave the car running while you inhale the carbon monoxide. Or if you don't have a room, run a pipe into your vehicle.

Pretty much any time of the year, extended time in the Hudson would have led to hypothermia.

It would be a completely believable scenario if this had been Arkansas.

Yep . Honor killing. Once they made clear to their dad or a brother their intention not to return , that was that. Why kill themselves when they could have just run away?

Thus I’m finding suicide hard to believe. My guess is honor killing.

What say you, Linda Sarsour?

I can’t believe that the NYPD is so obtuse.

Remember the NYPD brass that cried and got ill over Clinton's emails?

Be wary of believing anything about the NYPD

They didn’t know any criminal secrets about the Clintons did they?

It would be more believable if they had shot themselves in the back of their heads- TWICE!
