Failing to adhere slows the investigation, hurts the family, and could cause legal actions by the innocent people being defamed and dragged into a murder investigation. A person of interest who fits the sketch description and has a connection to Delphi should be turned in via tip line and not the public. Sharing side-by-side photos of suspects, altering original photos, and naming random people hinders the investigation. Suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Lastly, share the story and keep the girls alive in the hearts of the public. The best help you can give is to share the flyers and send real tips to the police. Aim to avoid lurid sensationalism and make your goal actually help. Whatever you say and do, please do so with care and thoughtfulness. The case remains unsolved.ĭue to the high volume of disrespectful, careless comments and deplorable actions, I would like to add a disclaimer. The girls were able to film the perpetrator and record his voice. This case is very infuriating because two wholesome girls were taken before their prime. They plan to keep their orange bulbs burning until the case has finally been solved, waiting until the day they can finally turn them off.The Snapchat Murders / Voice Of The Devil / Down The Hill (Abby and Libby 2017 Delphi Indiana) Aside from that, IndyStar mentions that donations have also been pooled into the Libby and Abby Softball Park Fund, set up to build a park in their memory, as both of them were avid softball players (they'd actually been getting ready for spring softball practice in the days before their murder).īut the residents of Delphi have also adopted a poignant and symbolic way to remember the girls - their extended effort to "Light up Delphi." Porch lights in Delphi (and even across the nation, for a while) were replaced with orange bulbs, with local businesses donating thousands of bulbs to the cause (via WRTV). WRTV added that local businesses and athletes have even donated to that reward, raising it to well over $240,000 by early 2018. Of course there are the thousands of tips that have flooded into the police department, but there's also been a growing reward fund to solve the case. But on that note, here's everything that investigators do know. Their case - now usually called the Delphi murders - still hasn't been solved by the time of writing, and it's filled with little tidbits of scattered information, a lot of speculation, and not that many answers (at least which are available to the public). Tragedy would strike in early 2017, suddenly robbing these two innocent girls of their lives and leaving behind an enduring mystery.
Living in the small town of Delphi, Ind., both of the girls should've had their entire lives ahead of them, filled with bright futures.
The two of them were brought together by sports, meeting and becoming best friends through a shared love of volleyball and softball. Williams was a little quieter but open with her friends and hoping to go into some kind of investigative work. German was your usual extrovert, with a dream of one day becoming a science teacher.
Liberty "Libby" German, 14 years old, and 13-year-old Abigail "Abby" Williams were both perfectly normal and sweet teenage girls.
