On this week’s In Pursuit With John Walsh, the main focus of the team is tracking down the perpetrator of the shocking Delphi murders.
In a double homicide that shocked the quiet, tight-knit town of Delphi in rural central Indiana, two eighth-grade girls Abby Williams,13, and Libby German, 14, had their lives taken from them on February 13, 2017.
The pair were enjoying a day off school and went for a hike in the woods; unfortunately, they never came home. An extensive search started right away involving many different agencies; they scoured the woods for hour after hour without any luck.
The next day two bodies were found several hundred yards from an old abandoned railroad bridge. It was confirmed on February 15, 2017, that they belonged to Abby Williams and Libby German.
The police have an unidentified suspect
The police have an unknown suspect; they recovered Libby’s cellphone, which had grainy footage of a man walking across the railroad bridge. The phone also contained a recording of a man saying, “guys… down the hill.”
Libby’s grandmother, Becky Patty, told ABC News that she had wanted to work for the FBI when she grew up, and it appears the enterprising 14-year-old might have done what she could to identify their killer.

It’s someone who fits the sketches in between? Well, that would be Mike Patty, but the voice doesn’t really match his voice , imo. I’m confused on that one..Everyone says “Well he had an alibi”, Alibis are not full proof..people lie and manipulate alibis.
