The girls were due to be collected by Libby’s grandfather Mike Patty, her legal guardian, in the trail car park at 3.15pm, but failed to show up.īy 5pm, the girls’ families were out searching for them and by 6pm most the town, which has a population of around 3000, had joined police, but the girls were not found. It was an unseasonably warm day and the best friends were dropped off at 1.35pm for a walk at a local hiking trail, the Monon High Bridge over Deer Creek in woodland 2km out of town.Īt 2.09pm, Liberty, known as Libby, used her mobile phone to upload a picture of Abby walking on the iconic bridge to Snapchat. Lindsay German posted this image of her friend Abigail Williams and the bridge on Snapchat soon before they were abducted and murdered in rural Indiana.

The girls, who attended Delphi Community Middle School where they played saxophone and volleyball together, vanished on February 13, 2017. The video and audio, incredibly captured by Libby as the girls were ambushed and then murdered, has been broadcast around the world and sparked thousands of tips, but led to no arrests.īoth Carter, the local sheriff, other law enforcement and Delphi citizens themselves are convinced that because of the location of the girls’ abduction and murder, the killer was a local or former resident with intimate knowledge of the site. “It’s amazing we have a video, we have a still photograph, we have sound and we don’t know who this person is,” he said. Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter, who is in charge of the case, also told the podcast he believes the guttural command “down the hill” was the voice of the devil coming through the killer. He told podcast Down The Hill (DTH) that the killer – who police have now confirmed they believe is the man Libby captured on her phone – left “a lot of evidence” at the crime scene. It has not been revealed if these odd signatures were part of the murder method or done post mortem. One investigator into the as yet unsolved 2017 murders of Abby Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14, in rural Indiana, has revealed the girls’ killer left several “strange … signatures” at the kill site. New clues have emerged in the double murder of two schoolgirls who filmed and then recorded their killer make the chilling order “down the hill” which police have described as the “voice of evil”’.
