Feb 14th of 2017, the bodies of Abigail Williams (age 13) and Liberty German (age 14) were discovered near the Monon High Bridge Trail (Delphi ,Indiana). The girls had disappeared in the same trail the day before.
On the 13th around 1:30 pm, Liberty’s older sister, Kelsi dropped the girls off at a trail-head on County Road 300 North, west of the Hoosier Heartland Highway. The girls were reported missing at 5:30 pm when they failed to show up at the end of the trail. Their bodies were found at noon the next day.
The police released an image of a suspect seen around the trail at the same time the girls disappeared (left). The image shows a white male with his hands in his pockets while walking. He is wearing jeans, a navy blue jacket and a hat. A few days later the police reveal that Liberty recorded a video/audio of the suspect on her cell phone. The recording, which is released to the pubic, appears to capture a man’s voice saying, “Down the hill.”
Having released this information to the public, the police get thousands of tips. Through the course of 2+ years the investigation goes in many directions but no one is charged in the murder of these two girls. April of 2019, the authorities release new audio, video and a sketch (right) of the person they believe is responsible. There have been many tips that have come in but this case still remains unsolved. The police and FBI have had numerous suspects, most recently (July 2019), authorities announced that Paul Etter was being considered a suspect in the murders after receiving a tip. Etter was wanted for the kidnapping and rape of a 26 year old woman on June 22 in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. Five days later, Etter was surrounded by police, and after a five hour stand-off, Etter killed himself.
