Investigators describe new “direction” in unsolved 2017 double murder case
Indiana State Police have released new audio, video and a sketch of the suspect in the 2017 killings of two teenage girls found dead after going out for a hike. The development was announced Monday during a police press conference to announce a “new direction” in the long-unsolved case.
The bodies of 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams were found in February 2017 on a hiking trail near Delphi, about 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
The new composite sketch of the suspect released on Monday depicts a man younger than the person depicted in a previously released composite sketch, which police said is now considered “secondary.” Indiana State Police Superintendent Douglas Carter said investigators now believe the killer is between the ages of 18-40, but may appear younger than his age. Investigators also believe the killer is either a current or former resident of Delphi, or frequently visits or works there, Carter said.
