This has haunted me since it happened. I was not on WS yet when the earlier threads were open, so I am catching up on everything now. All of the crimes I read about on here are horrific, but for some reason, this one in particular is constantly on my mind. Those poor girls. I cannot even imagine.
I hope they were able to get at least color/make/model of the other car in the lot when the girls were dropped off. That might help some. I am curious what the witness was able to give them who saw him leaving the area.
Like others have stated, someone knows something. Maybe they don't want to believe it about this man they work with/are family with/live next to, etc., but someone has to know this guy and interact with him in some capacity. I wish there was more to do to help, but I will continue sharing his photo and keeping this case in people's minds.
The week of the murders a woman came forward and stated she'd been on the trail at the northwest approach to the bridge, walking her dog, and that she saw BG. She headed back to the parking area and passed A&L, w/o mentioning that she'd seen someone. Like others, I think they walked past him as they walked towards the bridge, and became alarmed when he walked back to the bridge. JMO, of course.
From all the research I've done, I've yet to see any indication anyone saw BG leaving the bridge and trail areas. Spooky, however it's a quiet area with little through traffic on the county road which runs along there.

Bangert: Spotlight on Delphi trail after girls killed
Article from this past February:
Delphi murders: Here's what we know a year after the slayings of Abby and Libby
I can't stress enough that my observations from my trip to Delphi last year indicate to me not many people from outside the area know exactly where the bridge is located, how to get there, etc. There are no signs on local roads which might indicate the MHB is located there, just the wooden sign on County Road (C.R.) 300, by the parking area, which is right near to the road. That sign is in one of the above articles I linked to. From the parking area to the NW approach to the bridge is around a quarter mile or so, there's also a bend/curve along there.
Even with a Garmin GPS unit of mine, driving south on IN 25 I didn't know I was close to Delphi until I saw the water tower. My route took me to C.R. 300, where it loops back around and under IN 25, and from there the grain terminal/elevators come into view. Then driving along 300 I drove right past the trail/old parking area, and the sign which faces the road. It's that easy to miss at 30-35 mph. I did take a spin around the cemetery, then drove other county roads east and then south of the creek, then back up U.S. 421 through town.
The bridge cannot be seen from the surrounding terrain/roads, even when the leaves are down.
Locals who were interviewed after the crimes said they knew a bridge was out there just east of town (over Deer Creek), but had never been there or knew how to get there. It's easy, really, just a short distance off of IN 25, but you would have to know that, or look it up on maps or what have you.
So who knew exactly where this bridge is located before Feb. 13th, 2017? A lot of people. Locals. People interested in old railroad/industrial properties. People who have fished in that spot or along Deer Creek (I saw fishermen at the nearby historic bridge east of the MHB). Railroad employees. Walkers/hikers. Etc. A lot of folks knew exactly where the bridge is located, but not many of them would be from outside of that part of Indiana.
Bridge Guy knows where it's located, but how, and why? How did he know people would be out there that day?
