Two teenage girls filmed a man on their phone just before they were killed - but police have still not found the guy
So why have police not found the so-called Bridge Guy? Fabulous talks exclusively to the mother of one of the girls.14Best friends Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14, did almost everything together.
Abby and Libby’s deaths reverberated through the small town, because it was unlikely that anyone other than a local would have known about the track the girls were walking on that day. Almost three years on, however, the Snapchat Murders – as the girls’ death has been dubbed – remains a mystery. Abby’s mum, Anna Williams, 35, is hopeful the murderer will be brought to justice but, she says, it won’t alleviate her grief.
Libby, meanwhile, lived with her grandfather Mike Patty, 54, and grandmother, Becky, 60. Her parents had split when she was three, and since then Libby and her older sister Kelsi had been raised by their grandparents and father Derrick, who also lived in Delphi. At 2.07pm Libby posted the Snapchat photos. It was the last contact they made. According to an account given by her grandmother Becky, Derrick called Libby’s phone just before he arrived at the predetermined pick-up point.There was no answer, nor any sign of the girls once he got there. By 4pm Libby’s family began calling friends to try to locate them.
"I went back to the house and grabbed Abby’s jacket because she was going to need it when we found her.” Sniffer dogs were brought in to search the trail. She slowly recounts the moment when her world ended. “I was in the fire station talking to someone on the phone. It was around noon and our old pastor came → walking towards me. He said we needed to go upstairs.
The project was launched in June this year and raised £40,000 within a few weeks, which the state government has pledged to match. Anna says: “It’s an ongoing project. With the cause of the girls’ deaths still not being released so as not to jeopardise the investigation, and the scant details from the authorities, the community and the families remain in the dark.
Etter, from Tippecanoe County, 25 miles from Delphi, had shot and killed himself the previous month after a five-hour standoff with police, who were trying to arrest him in connection with the kidnapping and rape of a 26-year-old woman.Police requested autopsy results and DNA samples, but have made no further announcements and will only say that he is a possible suspect.
