“The Delphi murders of two young teenagers, Abigail Williams and Liberty German, have haunted the nation for nearly two years.“
Snip
“Here are some of the questions that remain:
When did Abby and Libby die?”
Snip
“Law-enforcement authorities have not spoken about the estimated time when Abby and Libby are believed to have died — and they likely never will, unless there is an arrest.“
Snip
“Delphi murders: How were they killed?”
Snip
“Autopsies were conducted, but neither the coroner, Delphi police, Carroll County Sheriff's Office, Indiana State Police or FBI have officially revealed information about the cause of death or manner in which the teens were killed.“
Snip
“Have any suspects been arrested?”
Snip
“No. Law-enforcement authorities have conducted interviews over the past two years with more than 1,000 people, Riley said, but none have led to an arrest.“
Snip
“Is there more than one killer?”
"”There's still a possibility there may be more than one suspect," he said. "We have not narrowed it down to how many people have been involved in this."
Snip
“What evidence exists about the killer?”
Snip
“Was DNA found at the crime scene?
Police aren't saying.
Indiana State Police officials have not confirmed yet whether they have DNA samples that could lead to a possible suspect or suspects in the Delphi case.
However, a new state law, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2018, could help in the case. Now DNA samples can be collected from anyone accused of a felony; before that, police could only collect samples from someone already convicted of a crime.“
Snip
“How much time and money has been spent on the case?
Riley said he didn't know how much money has been spent, but he estimated that there have been "thousands" of hours spent by officers and detectives on the investigation.”
