    On February 14, 2017, the bodies of Abigail Williams and Liberty German, known to friends and family as Abby and Libby were discovered near the Monon High Bridge Trail, which is part of the Delphi Historic Trails in Delphi, Indiana, after the young girls had disappeared from the same trail the previous day. The murders have received significant media coverage because a photo and audio recording of an individual believed to be the girls' killer was found on German's smartphone. Despite thousands of tips that have been sent to the police and the circulation of the recordings of the suspect, no arrest in the case has been made. Today, we are so fortunate to have Kelsi German, a Junior at Purdue University and sister of Libby, to talk to us about the case and how it has impacted her life. Kelsi is training to one day join a team of investigators to help the families and victims in other cases. The suspect in the video and the audio show a man, dubbed "Bridge Guy," following behind the two girls as they enjoyed their day off of school. Superintendent Carter of the Indiana State Police has made it clear: this case is not cold and will not be ceased until justice is brought to the despicable man in the video."Bridge Guy" audio and video is here courtesy of Inside Edition:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8xq5KgKHyEAny further updates in the case will be posted here. SOMEBODY KNOWS THIS VOICE. SOMEBODY KNOWS THIS DEMEANER. Anyone with information is requested to contact the Delphi Homicide Tipline at 844-459-5786.
