“Just 24 hours after he was slapped with the new charges, Indiana State Police announced there had been a significant development in their investigation into the deaths of Libby German, 14, and Abigail Williams, 13, who went missing in Delphi, on February 14, 2017.”

Since the two girls were found dead, authorities have consistently stated that they have no concrete suspects and the public would be notified when that changes.

“Hats Abby had been knitting
She’d make rubber band bracelets, paintings and bead crafts for friends. There wasn’t a form of art that Abby hadn’t tried her hand at.

“She had more crafts than you’d know what to do with,” Anna said. "She loved to make things for other people, she loved to be around other people."

Abby had recently been knitting tiny, colorful hats for newborns at the local hospital.”

Apr. 21, 2019 - 0:22 - Indiana State Police say they will announce new information about the deaths of Abigail Williams and Liberty German who were found dead on a hiking trail in Delphi, Indiana in 2017.

Mother of murdered Delphi teen ‘cautiously hopeful’ ahead of Monday’s news conference

“There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of her, miss her, cry about it,” said Carrie Timmons, Libby’s mother.”

“It’s been long enough. We’ve waited long enough,” said Timmons.“

Snip

““It’s mind-boggling to me, I don’t get it. I hope one day soon we will have an answer,” said Timmons.

Snip

“I’m not real sure what to think of the words ‘new direction,’ but if it’s a new direction that gets us closer to the end, then I’m all for it,” said Timmons.

Just like everyone else, Timmons is speculating on what the new information could be. She considered any clue to be a major development.

“So, to know one thing about the case and something that can hopefully move us forward, that’s absolutely huge,” said Timmons.

Snip

“(I’m) cautiously hopeful because I’ve gotten my hopes up before and had to relive it again and it’s awful. I don’t want to do that again,” said Timmons.“

Delphi murders: Dirt moves on Abby & Libby Park, their families’ hands-on, $1M dream
Mar. 29, 2019

Photo at link:
“As crews from Milestone Contractors work in the background, Eric Erskin walks the freshly graded dirt of the 20 acres of what will become Abby & Libby Memorial Park, near the corner of the Hoosier Heartland Highway and Indiana 218, a mile north of Delphi, on Wednesday, March 27, 2019. The park will be a memorial to Abby Williams and Libby German, two Delphi eighth-graders murdered while hiking a popular community trail near Delphi on Feb. 13, 2017. Erskin is Williams' grandpa.”

“A sign marks 20 acres of what will become Abby & Libby Memorial Park, near the corner of the Hoosier Heartland Highway and Indiana 218, a mile north of Delphi, on Wednesday, March 27, 2019. The park will be a memorial to Abby Williams and Libby German, two Delphi eighth-graders murdered while hiking a popular community trail near Delphi on Feb. 13, 2017.”

“Leveling the acreage early this spring would leave the summer and into the fall to recruit help to run underground electrical lines and everything else needed to get closer on a $1 million project looking to come together with hands-on muscle from family, friends and obliging businesses that could cut away from other work.”

Construction slow on memorial park for slain Delphi teens

This is looking positive.
We had an ‘unrelated sting’ in Australia and they got the pedophile they wanted.

Eldridge has been in custody since January 8 on separate charges, after he was apprehended in an unrelated sting operation where he had allegedly arranged to meet up with what he thought was a 13-year-old girl for sex.

Upon his arrest, Eldridge reportedly admitted to officers that he's had multiple sexual encounters with another child under the age of 13. It’s understood the new charges relate to that purported confession.

Just 24 hours after he was slapped with the new charges, Indiana State Police announced there had been a significant development in their investigation into the deaths of Libby German, 14, and Abigail Williams, 13, who went missing in Delphi, on February 14, 2017.

Since the two girls were found dead, authorities have consistently stated that they have no concrete suspects and the public would be notified when that changes.

Families of murdered Indiana teens open up about still-unsolved case
“It has been almost a year since the bodies of teen girls Abigail Williams and Liberty German were found after they disappeared from a hiking trail in Delphi, Indiana. Now Abigail’s mother and Liberty’s grandparents and sister join Megyn Kelly TODAY, along with Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter, who says that he believes that Liberty captured an image and audio of the killer before she died.”
 
“Eric Erskin, Williams' grandfather, said on Friday that the families haven't been notified yet regarding information that will be released during Monday's press conference, but he's hopeful that there will soon be resolution in the case.

"We have faith in the system and confidence in our law enforcement," he said via telephone.

And when asked whether he believes Monday's conference might be the break investigators need that could lead to a possible arrest, Erskin said the family will just have to wait and see.”

"We pray it is," he said. "We just pray."
