Unsolved Murders in the Midwest: The Delphi Killer

What’s going on with the case 5 years later

5 years ago, 2 friends, Abigail Williams (13) and Liberty German (14) went for a walk together in a small Indiana town. They never returned home. The girls lived in Delphi, Indiana just 30 minutes north of Lafayette, the home of Purdue University.

Tragically, they were found deceased the day after going missing, on February 14, 2017. They were found on the Historic Monon High Bridge Trail. Liberty German’s sister had dropped them off on the same trail the day before at about 1:35 P.M.

They were reported missing at 5:30 P.M. on February 13th and their bodies were discovered at approximately noon on February 14th.

5 years later and this is sadly still an unsolved case. But what information do we have?

*There have been several individuals named as suspects, but no arrests.

*One suspect, in particular, had created fake online accounts to chat with young girls.

*It has been noted that there is information that leads the police to believe the killer still lives in Delphi or frequents the town.

*A short clip was discovered on one of the victim’s phones, and it hauntingly seems to catch the murderer telling the girls to “Walk down the hill.”

The killer is thought to be a white male weighing between 180–200 pounds, anywhere from 18–40 years old, but may look young for his age. He is believed to be of average height, somewhere between 5'6–5'8. Sources say he may have been wearing jeans, a blue jacket, and a hoodie on the day of the murders.

After 5 years of investigation, thousands of tips, and searching for clues or answers; I can only imagine the families of these girls are ready to put their minds at ease in at least one way, knowing this gruesome murderer is behind bars.
