Summary

This week on the Murder Sheet, we take a break from our usual run of restaurant homicides to bring you some news.

We'll be researching the murders of Liberty German and Abigail Williams in the coming months, and presenting occasional episodes on that crime on a monthly basis.

In this episode, we visit the high bridge in Delphi that Libby and Abby visited on February 13, 2017, shortly before vanishing. We also lay out the basic facts of the case, and the investigation so far.
