Video released of suspect in 2017 killings of Indiana girls

Authorities on Monday released video of a man suspected of killing two Indiana teenagers two years ago and urged the public to scrutinize the footage, which shows him walking on an abandoned railroad bridge the girls visited while out hiking the day they were slain.

The Indiana State Police also released a new sketch of the suspect, which State Police Superintendent Doug Carter said was produced thanks to "new information and intelligence" collected during the investigation into the February 2017 killings of 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams.

During a briefing in the girls' hometown of Delphi, he said a previously released composite sketch that depicted a white man with a goatee, cap and hooded sweater is now secondary to the new sketch, which shows a clean-shaven, younger looking man.

Investigators still haven't said how the teens were killed, and they declined to take questions at Monday's briefing.

Carter said investigators believe the suspect is between the ages of 18 and 40, and that he either lives or lived in Delphi or regularly visits or works in the area. He vowed that police will solve the case and he addressed the suspect directly during the briefing.

"We believe you are hiding in plain sight. For more than two years, you never thought we would shift gears to a different investigative strategy, but we have," he said.

Carter also taunted the suspect, calling him "a coward" and saying authorities have likely already interviewed him or someone close to him. He also suggested that the man's friends or family might suspect that he killed the girls "because of how different you are since the murders."
Within days of the killings, investigators released two grainy photos of a suspect walking on the bridge and an audio recording of a man believed to be him saying "down the hill."
