“Do you recognize the mannerisms as being someone you might know? And remember, he is walking on the former railroad bridge, and because of the deteriorated condition of the bridge the suspect is not walking naturally, due to the spacing between the ties,” he said. Authorities have hailed German as a hero for recording potentially crucial evidence before she was killed.Ĭarter urged the public to pay close attention to the mannerisms of the man in the video, which shows him walking across an abandoned railroad bridge near Delphi, which is about 60 miles (95 kilometers) northwest of Indianapolis. The brief video of the suspect and additional audio that was also released Monday came from German’s cellphone, from which police previously released grainy photos and audio. Only a coward would do such a thing,” Carter said. “The question to you: What will those closest to you think of when they find out that you brutally murdered two little girls? Two children.

He also suggested that the man’s friends or family might suspect that he killed the girls “because of how different you are since the murders.” For more than two years, you never thought we would shift gears to a different investigative strategy, but we have,” he said.Ĭarter also taunted the suspect, calling him “a coward” and saying authorities have likely already interviewed him or someone close to him.

“We believe you are hiding in plain sight. He vowed that police will solve the case and he addressed the suspect directly during the briefing.

Carter said investigators believe the suspect is between the ages of 18 and 40, and that he either lives or lived in Delphi or regularly visits or works in the area. Investigators still haven’t said how the teens were killed, and they declined to take questions at Monday’s briefing. The Indiana State Police also released a new sketch of the suspect, which State Police Superintendent Doug Carter said was produced thanks to “new information and intelligence” collected during the investigation into the February 2017 killings of 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams.ĭuring a briefing in the girls’ hometown of Delphi, he said a previously released composite sketch that depicted a white man with a goatee, cap and hooded sweater is now secondary to the new sketch, which shows a clean-shaven, younger looking man. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Authorities on Monday released video of a man suspected of killing two Indiana teenagers two years ago and urged the public to scrutinize the footage, which shows him walking on an abandoned railroad bridge the girls visited while out hiking the day they were slain.
