Murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German

On February 14, 2017, the bodies of Abigail "Abby" Williams and Liberty "Libby" German were discovered on a hiking trail in Delphi, Indiana after the girls had disappeared from the same trail the prior day. The murders have received significant media coverage due to the fact that a photo and audio recording of a man believed to be girls' murderer was found on the phone of German. Despite the photo and audio recording of the suspect being released to the public by police, and over 15,000 tips being sent to police, no arrests have been made in the case. Murders: At 1 p.m. on February 13, 2017, friends 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German were dropped off by a family member at an abandoned bridge where they planned to go hiking. The girls were reported missing at 5:30 p.m. after they did not arrive to be picked up from the bridge. Authorities initially did not suspect foul play was involved in the disappearance until the bodies of the girls were found at noon the next day, about a half mile from the bridge. Police have not publicly stated how the girls were murdered. Investigation: On February 15, police released a photo of man they wanted to speak to about the murders, but did not officially identify him as a suspect until February 19. Police later released an audio recording of him saying "down the hill". The photo came from German's phone, and was taken via Snapchat and authorities have indicated that more evidence relating to the suspect was found on the phone but has not been released.
