Murder down the hill. I'm Jason Horton. I'm Rebecca Lee and this is Ghost Town.

A potential new lead in the unsolved murders of 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby

German. Those two eighth grade girls last seen snapchatting on a hiking trail in Delphi,

0:30.9

Indiana in 2017. But despite this video and audio of the suspect taken from Libby's cell phone,

0:41.7

just four years ago two teenage girls were murdered in Delphi, Indiana. The case is horrifying,

0:48.0

but the evidence collected by one of the very brave young victims makes it really intriguing,

frustrating, and also perhaps solvable. Today I'm going to be talking about the murder of

Abby Williams and Libby German, also known as the Delphi murders. 13-year-old Abigail J,

At 207 pm, Libby posted a photo of Abby walking on the Minone High Bridge over deer creek.

2:06.4

This was the last anyone would hear from either of them. And the photo itself, too, you can find it

2:11.9

online. It's really sweet, and it's just, it's so innocent. It's like two girls exploring the

2:18.3

woods, which is something I did as a child, and I'm sure a lot of people did, too. Around noon,
