The PCmales and Ximhungwe pride are the top suspects due to their past history. But thats about it. 
But for all we know it may also have been the whole, Nym following Skorro to the pride scenario we have been worried about or simply a hunt gone bad, hyenas, sickness or one of the girls entering estrus. 

Ultimately we have to wait and hope for the best.

Isn’t there a large hyena population in sabi sands especially western sector? I think I read that in a past thread.

When these girls were three, and Sassy was still with us, but she was not with the three girls, they had a run in with some hyenas, and the youngsters, less than 18 months old, stood their ground, growled at the hyenas, and tried to fend them off of a kill. I would assume that they have only gotten smarter in the years since, in how to deal with the hyenas, though at this point anything is possible, speculation is rampant, and we have very little in the way of facts.
