“James Chadwell’s stepfather also fears the 42-year-old ex-con may be the mysterious figure caught on 14-year-old Libby German’s cellphone approaching Libby and her best friend Abby Williams, 13, on an abandoned train trestle.

“Is he capable? Probably. And you know, should they let him back out on the street? Not ever. Throw away the key this time,” James’ stepfather said.”

Family of Man Being Investigated in Delphi Case Speaks Out
April 30, 2021

*video

“Chadwell has been in and out of jail since he was a teenager. His body is covered in tattoos. One across his chest says “Rebellious,” but it's another tattoo of a face on his upper arm that's drawing a lot of attention, because some see an uncanny resemblance to the slain Libby German.

Ashley Chadwell said he thinks it’s a relatively new tattoo. “I really don't think he had that tattoo when he got out of prison,” Ashley said.”
 
“”He’s a monster, exactly. He’s an absolute evil person,” James’ brother Ashley Chadwell told Inside Edition. “Do I think that he's capable of that kind of crime? Absolutely, absolutely. He's shown numerous times not only to his friends, but his family as well that he has that kind of evil streak to him."”

[...]


“Ashley Chadwell says his brother tried to drown him when he was just 4 years old.”

[...]

“”He should be locked up and never let loose again, because he’s a monster,” Ashley added.””

Lafayette Police say department protocol played a key in finding missing child
The Lafayette Police Department said specific training and community cooperation were crucial in the investigation.
April 30, 2021

“Our patrol division saved that child's life," said Lafayette Police Department Juvenile Detective Division's Lt. Jay Rosen.”

[...]

“Annual training on missing children paid off for Lafayette Police on April 19.”

[...]

“Flannelly said their officers have specific training on what to do when a child can't be found.

"Anytime we have a report of a missing child, that first hour is critical for us and we saturate that area with as many resources as we have available," Flannelly explained.”

[...]

“At least 15 officers scoured the neighborhood until the girl was found.”

“A post on Facebook from a woman who said she was related to the 9-year-old victim claimed Chadwell “strangled her so bad blood came out of her eyes! Her trachea is damaged to where all she do is eat through a straw!!! If it hadn’t been for the speed of the Lafayette Police Department arriving on the scene, she would be dead!!…She was only 9… he’s punching her and his pit bull is biting her!!” She praised first responders.”

“He also shared numerous posts and photos showing he had an affinity for the woods and outdoors, as well as a picture of a railroad bridge.”

[...]

“In a June 2020 post he wrote, “Sleeping under a bridge for a while til work starts. Only ten days. Cool, dry, no neighbors, and the bridge is only six minutes from work. Be thankful for the little things.””
