NEW RULE: IF YOU WANT TO POST ABOUT A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER YOU MUST GET PERMISSION FIRST. PLEASE SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO ANY OF THE MODERATORS. BE PATIENT BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE TIME TO GET BACK WITH YOU



Dear Websleuths Members,

Please DO NOT bring in family members of the victim's and suggest they might have had something to do with the crime. As of right now, there is ZERO evidence to suggest this is the case.

People, please think about what Abby and Liberty's loved ones are going through right now.

They lost their two angels to murder and now they read on the Internet people are ripping their lives apart.

Same thing with any random person you happen to bring up. These people do not deserve to have their lives spread out and accusations made against them based on a theory with nothing to back it up.

I know it's frustrating when you go on other sites and they are talking about EVERYTHING but we just do not work that way on Websleuths.

You are anonymous behind your computer screen. Doesn't hurt you if you post something that's not true about a grieving family member. You step away from your computer and all is well. Meanwhile, your words are like burning hot knives in people's hearts.

Please take a moment to read our rules
http://www.websleuths.com/forums/misc.php?do=showrules


If you have any questions please email websleuthscomments@gmail.com or send a private message.

Ask yourself the following; Would you stand face to face with the person you are accusing, tell them your theory and tell them your real name?

Even with our tight and well thought out rules Websleuths is able to do amazing sleuthing.

Thank you for caring about Abby and Liberty.

Carroll County Sheriff Toby Leazenby said Abigail Williams and Liberty German were last seen around 1 p.m. when they were dropped off to go hiking at High Bridge, just east of Delphi.



Police ID bodies of Indiana girls

Two bodies found along a northern Indiana stream are those of two teenage girls who went missing Mondayand their deaths are being investigated as homicides, authorities said on Wednesday.

State Police Sgt. Kim Riley said autopsies performed Wednesday determined that the bodies are those of Liberty German, 14, and Abigail Williams, 13, both of Delphi.


Their bodies were found Tuesday afternoon along Deer Creek near Delphi, about 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis. Police said the girls’ bodies were about three-quarters of a mile from an abandoned railroad bridge where they were dropped off Monday to go hiking.

SGT. KIM RILEY, INDIANA STATE POLICE (via telephone) with CNN re: three posts in the image on the bridge

RILEY: We have looked at it. We`ve blown it up. As a matter of fact, that was done right after we got the picture -- we had access to the picture. And if you look at the far end of the tracks, it looks like there`s two people actually standing there. But if you blow the picture up, you`ll notice that there`s actually three poles there to keep cars from being -- trying to drive across the bridge. So that`s the marks that you see at the end of the tracks.

ADMIN NOTE: Do NOT post photos of random individuals in a side by side fashion to compare with unidentified suspect. You may be sleuthing someone ten ways to Sunday but do NOT post about it here. Until there is a named suspect to sleuth it is against TOS.

[ETA = in light of the recent search warrant executed at the property and residence of RL the decision has been made to allow limited sleuthing of RL. You may sleuth what is public record, including past criminal or legal history. You may discuss whether or not you feel his voice or appearance match the evidence shared by LE. You may NOT sleuth his family members, friends, acquaintances, etc. Please keep it on the rails.]

If you feel you have a tip by all means phone it in. Do NOT discuss your tip here. Contact the authorities and give them time to follow your lead.

Posts that are outside the rules are subject to removal without warning or explanation. Members who continue to post against the rules are subject to a loss of posting privileges.

Please continue discussing while being mindful of the rules which can always be found linked in my signature.

ATTENTION EVERYONE:

With the latest search warrant being served at the home of property owner Ron Logan we have decided to open up Ron Logan to sleuthing with these rules:

*Use his initials only (R.L.) or call him the land owner.

*This does not mean you can sleuth his family or neighbors.

*In the event you do discover something about someone else who happens to be connected to R.L. and you think
it is related to the case you must check with us before you post it.

* R.L HAS NOT BEEN NAMED A PERSON OF INTEREST. Please do not accuse him of the crime.

If you have any questions alert on any post and send us your question. Or you can send a private message to one of the mods.

To reiterate, You can now sleuth the land owner R.L. but ONLY R.L. No accusing R.L. or anyone of being the killer.

Thank you,
Tricia

Well, it remains unclear to me. I can see no difference between what we're allowed to do, even though LE has repeatedly said RL is not a suspect in the murders, and what we would be allowed to do if, in fact, LE had said RL is a suspect in the murders. In both cases, we'd have to say we don't know for sure and, therefore, it'd only be an opinion. I guess I have a hard time seeing any real limits to the sleuthing. Does that make sense? :eek:


Let me try and clear this up for you.


Always remember hardly anything on Websleuths is Black and White. Websleuths has lots of gray areas.


Rarely do police ever say someone is a suspect unless it is obvious like Bridge Guy.


What we have to do in certain cases is use our common sense.


Why did the police get a search warrant for RL the land owner where Abby and Libby's bodies were found?


Why did the police violate his parole? If someone could find a link verifying this. I will retract if I am incorrect.


Why was RL given over three years in prison for driving convictions?

Didn't the police say he was not cooperating? You have to wonder if there is a deal to be made with RL if he cooperates.


Is there anyone else the police are looking into that has anything close to the connection to the case like RL other than BG?


To get a search warrant for his house police needed probable cause.


As the owner of Websleuths, it is up to me to make these decisions about who can be discussed and who can't. I do so by following the Websleuths guidelines along with discussing among the mods and using common sense.


Here is another good example. The murder of Dr. Teresa Sievers.


Her husband Mark wasn't ever pointed out as a suspect until shortly before he was arrested. However, his behavior made it obvious he was hiding something. This is why early on Websleuths allowed Mark Sievers to be discussed as a suspect. Same with his friend Wayne.


We take each case on its merits.


In this case, because the police had probable cause for a search warrant members can sleuth RL ONLY. Not his family, not his friends. Also, we have stated over and over no one is saying he is guilty. If someone calls him a murderer please alert and we will remove.


So when a member feels like a guy that used to date Abby or Libby's mom kind of looks like BG and wants to sleuth him we say absolutely not.


RL owned the land the bodies were found on. We did not allow sleuthing him at this point at all. It was only when the police served the search warrant did we allow members to sleuth.


Police have said he is not a suspect. They said this before, during, and after the search warrant of RL's home.


You have to use common sense and go by what police have done in the past to make these decisions.


One more thing, we only allow the initials of RL. Why? So when someone Googles his name Websleuths won't come up.


However, you go to all the other sites on the Internet, and they are tearing RL apart, using his real name and sleuthing God knows what about his past.


At Websleuths we do our best to balance between letting you discuss and being sensitive to people's situations.


You will not find any other forum on the Internet that works harder than we do to be as fair as possible.


Remember, if it too much for you and you feel it's wrong no one is forcing you to stay.


Thank you,
Tricia

One way we could generate new theories is by reviewing news coverage or the girls' social media accounts to see if anything new jumps out at us.

For me, I just found this article which I hadn't yet seen, which describes how the murders impacted one family on Delphi. It hints at what the atmosphere in this small community is like right now.

Was it confirmed that someone was to pick the girls up, rather than them walking somewhere else or to someone's house at the end of their hike? I ask because this article states "They were supposed to meet with family members later Monday evening, but when the teens didn’t show up, and that’s when their family called police."
https://www.google.com/amp/fox59.co...case-of-missing-carroll-county-teenagers/amp/
 
Something occurred to me today as I drove over 300 miles for work. I was tired. My rear hurt from sitting. All I wanted to do was get out and relax and grab something to eat and have a quiet evening. I'm thinking BG looks to be middle aged. If he came into town from another area hours away, then I surmise he settled into the area to scope out the place. This would fit if the girls were catfished and they had already made it known they would be on or near the bridge that day. If he knew this he could have arrived in Delphi a day or two prior...scoped out the bridge and surrounding area...realized it was quiet and desolate...was there early that day keeping track of how many people entered the bridge/trail area...and when they showed up, he knew they were alone and no one would hear. If he is a SK, he planned this. He would have been well rested that morning/early afternoon and ready to strike. MOO
 
I sure wish we had SOME other information to go on.

Feel like there's nothing of value we can do right now....that hasn't been beaten into the ground.

This article said family had a pre-determined place to pick them up at 5:30.

This one says they were supposed to be picked up at the same location they were dropped off. http://www.theindychannel.com/news/...-missing-after-being-dropped-off-to-go-hiking

Here's a link about how Delphi homeowners are putting orange light bulbs on their porches in support of the girls.

It also mentions the words "down the hill" were recorded during "criminal activity" which I saw repeated on several sites. Does anyone have an opinion about what kind of criminal activity was happening at that point? Do we think that referred to the beginning of the abduction itself or some other type of activity the girls stumbled upon/witnessed?

Let me reiterate again about sleuthing the warrants.

If we ever get any solid information about any other search warrants we can discuss. By that I mean we know who is named in the search warrant and where the search took place and how it is connected to the case http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...Delphi-13-Feb-2017-47&p=13302689#post13302689

Please do not start sleuthing a search warrant just because you have one of these things. I did not mean you can sleuth the other warrants if they contain just one of the above.

RL, we know his name, we know his address, we know how he is connected to the case.

We do not have all of this information with the other search warrants.



Thank you,
Tricia
 
Something I've been thinking about lately, which may deserve a little more interest than my last idea. :facepalm: People keep going back and forth between whether this was done by a local or by a SK; I've been wondering how likely it is that he is both.

He appears (at least to me) to be familiar with the area. I find it hard to imagine a stranger to town finding his way in there without attracting attention to himself, wander around for however long he was there, commit these acts, find a way out of there without being seen, and leaving town with nobody noticing him.

At the same time, I find it hard to imagine a first time offender abducting 2 young, athletic girls, abusing them in whatever ways happened, murdered them and disappeared without leaving much more cold, hard evidence. It's possible that this is the first time he murdered his victim/s, the first time he chose 2 victims at once, the first time he chose young girls rather than women, or even the first time he worked with/without a partner; I do, however, believe he has commit similar, but lower profile, cases in the past. If it is found that he was also involved in the deaths of Lizzy and Lyric, I wouldn't expect that to be his first offense either.

Nothing that will really get us any closer to an answer, but it's the way I see this heading. I'm going back to looking at past (or newer) unsolved deaths in the area, and see if I can find any kind of connections between them.

MOO
 
I'm so behind today, please save me hours of reading. RL faced court, any other news besides the scanner thread?
