| 0:00.0 | Delphi is a small town in the state of Indiana, about 20 miles northeast of Lafayette. |
| 0:15.4 | Located along the Wabuk River, Delphi is roughly halfway between Indianapolis and Chicago, |
| 0:20.9 | to give you a general idea of where it's located. |
| 0:24.0 | While Delphi has an incredibly small population, less than 3,000 people call Delphi, home |
| 0:29.9 | roughly a quarter million people live in the region to find as the Lafayette metropolitan |
| 0:35.4 | statistical area. |
| 0:37.2 | So while Delphi has a reputation for being a small town, you know, the kind where everybody |
| 0:42.5 | knows everybody, that whole thing. |
| 0:44.6 | It is really just part of a larger grid, connected to dozens of other cities and towns. |

| 1:08.6 | Since 2017 though, Delphi has become synonymous with a violent incident that unfolded within |

| 1:21.2 | This is the type of crime that had never been seen before in Carroll County. |
| 1:25.2 | And despite police releasing several details of this supposed killer to the public, he |
| 1:30.5 | has managed to escape identification and prosecution in the years since. |
| 1:35.7 | This is the story of Abigail Williams and Liberty, German. |
