Hi everyone, I'm Blaine Alexander, and today we are talking Dateline. I'm joined today by Andrea Canning to discuss her latest episode, A Walk Through the Woods. If you haven't seen it, it's the episode right below this one on your Dateline podcast feed. So go there and listen to it or stream it on Peacock and then come back here. To recap,

in 2017, two schoolgirls, Libby German and Abby Williams were found murdered in the woods

of Delphi, Indiana, near an abandoned railway bridge. For years, the case went unsolved and police

were at a standstill except for one clue, a grainy picture and a gravelly voice captured on Libby's phone right before the murders.

It would turn out to be a very big clue that helped solve the girls' murders.

For this episode, Andrea is going to share a podcast exclusive clip from her interview with the case's prosecutor, Nick McLeeland.

Then we'll answer viewer and listener questions from social media.

All right, let's talk Dateline. Hey, Blaine. Hi, Andrea. How are you? I'm good. Thank you.

This was a tough one for me. I can only imagine. I want to dive into that because this was one of those

stories that, you know, a lot of our Dateline cases for viewers and even for us, they're brand new, right?

You haven't heard about them before we bring them the episodes. This was something that we all

kind of watched play out from beginning to end, right? Like I remember having friends cover this.

I remember watching it and when the cell phone video was released, all of that. There's a lot to

dive into. I want to start with just where this actually

occurred, that bridge. It was already an eerie kind of setting for a crime like this, right?

It really was. It was, having been out there, it's very high up. It's old. It's dilapidated.

It's, you know, the ties are kind of far apart. A lot of people would go out on it. But I mean, you're really playing with fire out on this bridge. Like if you fall, you're dead. I mean, I said to the sheriff, I was like, you would not catch me ever on that bridge.

It was just so scary.

I remember that line.

And I thought the exact same thing.

I mean, was it as high as it seemed?

Yeah, that was what surprised me. Now it's been turned into kind of a like a recreation place.
