The girls’ murders have affected more than just their families.

A dark cloud hangs over the small town of Delphi, a place where no one thought twice about letting two teenage girls go for a hike and take photographs. But since that warm February day, a feeling of dread has followed those who live there, knowing the girls’ killer is still out there.

“You look at the world different now,” said Becky. “You look at people. You pull up to a stop light and you are looking at the people and they are doing the same thing. Our community is going through this with us.”



A photo of a man walking along the bridge and an audio clip of a man’s voice saying “down the hill” were released by investigators early in the investigation.

Police are still searching for that man.

“I think somebody out there knows,” Mike said. “Either they haven’t heard the message yet or seen the video or heard the audio, but even if they have somebody out there knows.”

If you found yourself a victim of an attack, what would you do? That was the question of the day Sunday morning at the Wabash and Erie Canal Interpretive Center in Delphi, as 60 women and young girls came together to learn self-defense maneuvers that might one day save their lives.


The two Delphi teenagers were on co-organizer Joanne Germond's mind when she decided to coordinate the free event. All of the workshop's proceeds go toward the Delphi Trails Security Fund, which will fund installation of cameras at trailheads and marked outposts in case of emergency.

"The whole workshop, after Libby and Abby were murdered, I just had it on my heart to do something that would empower young ladies on up to the oldest woman that wanted to come," she said.

That's exactly what happened on Sunday, also thanks in large part to the One Light Self-Defense Team based out of Chicago. The 12-member self-defense group has traveled the world — particularly India, Africa and Thailand — teaching people how to fight back against personal attacks. On Sunday, the team taught the the workshop participants knee, hand, foot and elbow strikes, as well as release and run strategies.

It's all something that Germond said she hopes will have rippling effects throughout the community.

Holeman says they've chased dozens of leads - but so far they haven't received that one tip they need to solve the case.

"It's a roller coaster ride," said Sgt. Holeman. "You're up - you think you've got something good, and for some reason it's eliminated or whatever. That's tough on anybody."


"I'm not even sure that we knew how to react or respond," said Sheriff Leazenby. "Because we haven't had this. This has been something this county has never had before."

"We have all worked tragic cases, but nothing like this," said Sgt. Holeman. "I can't even put anything close to this case."

Sheriff Leazenby said, even three months in, they still have to make people take a day off to recuperate.

Chief Mullin said the investigation has been hard on his officers and all of the investigators that have come to help.

Delphi Daughters: The untold story of Abby & Libby

Abigail Joyce Williams

Liberty Rose Lynn German

Abigail “Abby” Williams and Liberty “Libby” German had a bond stronger than most.

A rare mid-February Monday off from school prompted the pair to do what any teenage friends would do the day before: They had a sleepover.

The girls shared a variety of interests; both loved art, both enjoyed sports and both played alto sax in the Delphi Community Middle School band.

Abby brought her big box of arts and crafts over to Libby’s house and sprawled them across the floor of Libby’s room on that Sunday night. The girls painted photos of nature on canvases as they giggled and shared intimate secrets like most young girls do.

Earlier that day, the two had been in the back yard practicing their softball swing in excited anticipation of the upcoming season.

Libby, 14, had convinced Abby, 13, to join her on the team this year.

The next day was an unseasonably warm day and the girls went out to enjoy another one of their shared hobbies by taking photos of one of their favorite places: The Monon High Bridge, Delphi’s tallest scenic attraction.

This was a bond that not even a killer could break.

Delphi community reclaims Monon High Bridge trail

At 3 p.m. Sunday, the community is invited to symbolically reclaim the trail by hiking the half-mile from the Freedom Bridge— the blue, steel-framed bridge over Indiana 25— to the Monon High Bridge trail head.

"Our goal is to come together as a community, reclaim the land for holy purposes and to share mutually what we can do in encouraging one another on this journey," Delphi United Methodist Church Pastor Todd Ladd said in a news release published Wednesday.

"We all can agree on the sadness we have felt and the desire to join together in that celebration of life, the celebration of the trails and the celebration that we will take the first steps towards wholeness," Ladd said.

Liberty’s grandmother says they have received hundreds of letters from across the country and around the world.

Letters of support and love – some with cash or other gifts – are still showing up, nearly three months into the investigation.

The letters fill boxes inside the home of Libby's grandparent's, Mike and Becky Patty. They offer a source of comfort at the end of the day.

“You get to set down and unwind and read these, and take support from them,” said Becky.

No Cold Case: People in Delphi continue to hope

“This is not like anything Carroll County has had before,” Carroll County Sheriff Tobe Leazenby said.


“I'm a man of faith myself. I have faith that God is involved with this investigation. Number two, my faith in the investigators. And three, my faith in this community,” Leazenby said.


“Whatever you thought in those first few days or weeks, it's time to call because we don't have anybody arrested for it,” Libby’s grandfather Mike Patty said.

After three months, police are keeping info close to the vest, including how the girls died. Instead, they continue to share a screenshot of a man in a blue jacket and a short sound clip, in which a man says, “down the hill.”

“We feel strongly the individual or individuals involved in this have been watching this all along. So, we're not going to show all of our cards,” Sheriff Leazenby said.

With over 17,000 tips and evidence being tested, Leazenby says this is no cold case. A reward now offers around around $250,000 for info that leads to an arrest, something the girls' families and police are counting on.

“That's why I'm asking people, no matter how small it is. It may be that vital piece of information that's needed to bring closure to this,” Patty said.

Sgt. Kim Riley with Indiana State Police says they have about 500 tips remaining, and they investigate around 20 to 30 tips a day.

So far, they've made about 20 unrelated arrests.

“We want to find this person or persons that did this. We want to find them and bring them to justice,” Indiana State Police Sgt. Kim Riley said. “That’s the bottom line. Whether it takes one more day, six months or two years, we will work on this case until it’s solved.”
