This is Indiana we're talking about and we have just celebrated our fiftieth (50th) exoneration. So when someone says "they have to do this" or "have to do that," I'm kind of skeptical.
Discovery is still coming in, to the point where the D asked for and was granted the discovery response period to be shortened. So I'm kicking around the possibility that something did come in last Friday that made the judge stop the hearing.
Having just learned of the $20,000 ISP spent for genetic genealogy takes me in all different directions. Mostly, I'd really like to see when they did it.
Over $1 million has been spent on the Delphi murders trial; how much more will be spent?
Of the $1 million spent so far, $581,605 is considered expenses for Richard Allen’s defense.www.wthr.com

Don't assume, because I'm in the weeds in this $20,000 ISP spent for genetic genealogy. I don't know if they did that in addition to the usual DNA testing. I'm surprised at the amount of money they spent; how many tests would that cover? Did they get any hits on it? Apparently not?
Why wouldn’t there be a transcript of the closed hearing? Is it possible the public hearing portion was cancelled because a court reporter wasn’t available?

“About 35 minutes into the closed status hearing, a deputy came out and said there would be no public hearing.
Status hearing in Delphi murders case cancelled
The day began with a closed status meeting. About 35 minutes into the closed status hearing, a deputy came out and said there would be no public hearing.www.wrtv.com
When asked what happened and why there was a change in what we had been told, investigators shrugged and did not give an answer.
There is no transcript of Friday's proceedings, and everyone involved is under a gag order.
The families of Abby Williams and Libby German did meet privately with prosecutors and investigators in a room.
Allen’s family started to cry, confused and upset, and defense attorneys met with them.”
Lol... immediate would be way too quick for this case. I wonder why she just didn't come out and explain why the hearing was cancelled = "Sorry folks, our reporter couldn't be here..."
Nor I, that’s why I “speculated.”
Likely we’ll know soon enough!
When first announced, it was scheduled as a 30-minute private hearing followed by a 30-minute public hearing, I recall. I interpreted that to mean they were connected. So when the public one was canceled, that made me think the topic or request at the private hearing had been denied making the public one no longer necessary. (If it had been approved, in theory, the Judge would publicly grant the request or issue an order. )
This is easy to answer. The man on the bridge is walking towards them and I am sure LE tried to match that up with the voices from Liberty German's phone seconds later. I could never understand why people thought it was anything else."It's the totality of the evidence we've been developing so far that leads us to that"....that being, BG is the primary suspect. Article linked below is from Feb. 19, 2017.
A few thoughts.
DM isn't a favorite source, but actually, the article linked indicates it came from AP.
DM has a search bar. Type in "Delphi". Then click "Oldest" and scroll til ya see the first article regarding this case, and that will take you to numerous articles of what was going on in the first weeks of the investigation.....FBI, Dep't of Homeland Security, Billboards, Searches of properties long forgotten, etc. etc.
The comment above, "the totality of the evidence" is what I wanted to focus on in this post, as it is THAT evidence that, very early on, led investigators to conclude BG was their primary suspect. I believe they knew at that time, the man on the bridge, was the same man that murdered the girls at the crime scene. Question is, how'd they know that?
Ya, a lot happened thereafter, for myriad reasons, leading down various dead end paths, but the evidence they reference in this article, I opine, will be presented, along with lots of other evidence, in any upcoming trial.
Police: Man in photos now 'main suspect' in 2 girls' deaths

In my opinion, if someone is just trying to cover up a body by throwing some sticks over it, the sticks do not land and place themselves in such a formation so that criminal investigators think it could possibly be some type of Odinist ritual.
It did not work very well, as it left him open to suspicion even 5 and a half years later.
