“"We all realized when she wouldn’t answer her phone for the third or fourth call from everybody and the text. When I got there [to the bridge] at again….after 4, um, like OK, maybe they dropped their phones, you know what I mean? Because there’s water there, a creek.”"

"The case is still under investigation and authorities vowed to keep working on the case until they put the suspect responsible for the girls’ deaths behind bars.

Delphi homicides: Could broader DNA database help catch teens' killer?

"Delphi homicides: Could broader DNA database help catch teens' killer?

But if the detectives have the killer's DNA — a point that investigators have been cagey about admitting or denying — the broader DNA database might flag him."

Retired homicide investigator offers insights into how Delphi double murder case might be solved

This is an old article but is new to me so I thought I would add it.

At the end of the article there are also several more recent articles that are also relevant but may already be in this thread.

“"The first thing you look for is a motive,” said retired IMPD homicide captain Robert Snow. “Quite often, 90 percent of the time that will lead you to a suspect.”"

"Snow says detectives tend to take murders involving children personally.

“When a homicide detective has a truly innocent victim they stick with you. They won't go away. You can`t brush them aside and move to the next case,” said Snow."
 
Police won't say if Fort Wayne's cold case suspect linked to Delphi killings

DELPHI, Ind. — Questions about 8-year-old April Tinsley's suspected killer from 1988 remained unanswered until Sunday's arrest of John D. Miller.

For 30 years, DNA evidence turned up no matches to a particular individual. Yet the DNA from the crime scene matched taunts left by the killer, who police now suspect is Miller, 59, of Grabill.

One of those taunts Miller allegedly made is that he'll kill again. The words have a haunting ring to them for people around nearby Delphi.

Part of article relating to Delphi-

On Monday, as police addressed reporters about John Miller's arrest, Sergeant Kim Riley refused to comment on whether he could be a suspect in Libby and Abby's killing, The Journal and Courier reported.

'We have 1,000 names out there, and we're still looking at all of them,' he said. Carroll County Sheriff Tobe Leazenby said Miller's arrest was 'new information' and it was too early to announce if he was considered a suspect in the Delphi murders. Leazenby said the department hadn't yet discussed if they would ask for the evidence compiled by Fort Wayne Police to compare with what they had on Libby and Abby's killer.+15After Libby and Abby were killed, police found a photograph of a man believed to be involved in their deaths on Libby's phone+15Using the picture and eyewitness accounts of people who had encountered him on the day, police then released a sketch of what he is believed to look like+15The map above shows the locations of incidents around Fort Wayne that were linked to April's murder, including the abduction site, body recovery site, and where notes were left.

Renewed hope for Delphi families after Fort Wayne arrest

Jul 18, 2018

"DELPHI, Ind. (WTHR) - An arrest in a Fort Wayne cold case is bringing a sense of renewed hope to the families of the Delphi murder victims.

John Miller was arrested Sunday for the 1988 murder of 8-year-old April Tinsley. The families of Libby German and Abby Williams recently spoke with our sister station WTHR. Family members hope the same tireless work and new technology that put Miller behind bars helps bring them justice.

The man suspected of killing the teen best friends has eluded police for more than 17 months. Officers have combed through thousands of tips, and the crime has garnered national headlines, but police still haven't put a name to the killer's face.

Libby's sister, Kelsi, said that day will come eventually...."
