It’s been exactly three years since two young teens were found murdered off a wooded trail in Delphi, Indiana — and the unsolved mystery of who killed them and why remains under investigation.
Indiana State Police told News 18that authorities are still diligently pursuing leads in the disturbing case of Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14, saying, “We are still as energized now as we were the day after.”
Though Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter has not shared many specifics of the investigation with media over the years, hetold the news outletthat police are “one piece away” when asked how close they were to solving the case. “Eventually, somebody will do the right thing. It might be the killer himself; might be a person who knows who he is,” said Carter.

“I can’t think of a time in my entire career, or in many other careers, where we have the voice of the person we believe is the killer, a photograph of who we believe is connected to the murder, and even a snip-it of how he moves,” Carter noted.
Less than 24 hours later,authorities found the girls’ bodies on the side of a creek,about one mile from the trail.

Last April,officers released an updated — and notably different — sketchof the suspect, as well as a previously unheard snippet of audio recording from German’s phone. They also unveiled a new bit of video footage of the suspect walking along the Monon High Bridge.
The Indiana State Police continues to be flooded with tips about the case. “We get 10 to 12 tips daily and sometimes more, depending on what the media or social media is putting out there. But a lot of those are false tips,” Sgt. Jerry Holemantold A&E Real Crime last year.
