Has there been much info out there on the extent to which they investigated those who worked or had worked at the nearby Indiana Packers facility?

I would be happy to help, if this doesn't work!![]()
It was never stated by LE that BG was wearing a disguise.Strictly MOO!
A few have suggested this was and is a Pure Luck and random crime, I have strong doubts on this theory:
It has been mentioned this is a very popular park by people who live in the area---if so why then is this the first of its kind?
Do we believe there is a random murderer out there that has never targeted this area or any other area in Delphi?
If this were random have LE put out a formal warning for this killer as a threat to the community?
Seems like Abby and Libby were the ones he was interested in only?
When suggested Abby and Libby may have known this person, a few have stated LE has done extensive search of all Social media and friends, and surely would have found out if the girls knew him. I had said this could have been a secret crush or someone to keep secret. Secrets are not shared on Social Media--God knows that would never be a secret would it?
No! I believe this was someone the Young women did not want to share information on …...or he was someone who only Monitored them on Social media.
Why would a random killer be dressed in heavy clothing and have deliberately covered up his identity, and perhaps had weapons on him to stroll around a park for a Lucy Break! If that were the case someone that obvious would have stood out before contact with Abby and Libby don't you think? Even one of the girls refused to even wear a jacket that day.
I also find it incredibly odd that witnesses could have seen him through his disguise clearly enough to make a composite sketch, if that were the case why could no one else see through the video of him.
I also find it odd that it has been stated that a posters husbands carries a backpack with knives , twine and first aid material Everyday...this is someone who herself visits the park and lives near there. If her husband is a park ranger that would make sense other than that ….everyday? WHY? Does that mean many people in this area dress like him and carry dangerous tools? I doubt that.
….and finally if my belief that these young women may have known this individual is Victim Blaming , I assure you these young women simply trusted a very bad person. How could they possible know he was going to murder them. No, this was crime that could be committed only out of their Innocence.
BBMWhy did Libby video him and at that distance? What tipped her off? I know there is just gut instinct but still, it seems like it would be something more... Did she just happen to have her phone on those functions already, something she liked to do, record their day, record people, etc.? Let's be honest, many kids do that hoping to catch the next most watched Utube video, etc. Did he say something, yell something, make some gesture, had they seen him earlier that day? Were they to meet someone there and he was NOT who they expected? Alternatively did they know him or of him and were not scared? Did he look odd? Honestly the photo makes him look pretty nondescript, nothing overly scary, but granted we cannot see detail, facial or otherwise.
I can't myself, from anything we know, rule any of these things out.
Why did everyone seem to just disappear to that day? It was nowhere near dark and there was no school. 10 to 20 students did not ride together although I guess they could have left simultaneously for some reason. Everyone else as well? A lull before and after is what we have heard.
Not one thing I have stated is anything new but are things I still wonder about... Sigh...

I have always felt maybe he was recorded by accident while Libby was recording Abby. She'd taken a picture of Abby at the beginning of the bridge, so it makes sense she would do the same at the end.BBM
Good questions IMO, and I’ve wondered the same.
The default seems to be that Libby videoed BG because she was concerned/worried/feared him. Especially if we believe that she can be heard on tape saying things “about some guy” (iirc that was 2nd hand info from BP but not verified or released by LE). To note, we’ve discussed here how she did NOT say he was “creepy”. He could have been, but that’s not specifically what’s been relayed.
Anyway, I’m not so sure that the reason for the video is necessarily what it seems to be. There are other reasons Libby could have recorded BG- not just bc she had a foreboding that he would do something. She could have been recording him bc (bear with me): he was doing something interesting (skipping boards, etc), he was just in the frame of her recording something else (we only get 2 seconds of recording so it could have been a fluke he was in it), they knew him and were recording him with his knowledge to have a video of his bravery, etc, or other reasons. I’ve just named a couple.
It’s certainly very possible Libby thought he was menacing and this recorded him for “future reference”, but it’s not a foregone conclusion IMO. After all, LE does say we’re getting everything wrong.
When I first started following this case I surmised one or both of the girls knew him, then moved away to thinking they were random victims, to now being back at my first hypothesis. I think at least one of them knew him or knew of him. And I’m leaning towards thinking that they did not video him bc they were scared and wanted to document him, but rather some other reason (which I’ve not fully fleshed out).
MOO
Not only why did Libby start taking a video of him...why on earth did he give them reason to (which is why I think she did: he was shouting & being belligerent)...when he is still a distance away from his victims....why give his victims time to get a clue as to what's going on, time to run...?Why did Libby video him and at that distance?

However, I do recall LE saying something early on about Libby being a hero because she recorded him. Since LE has seen/heard everything recorded, I have to believe they have reason to think she did it purposefully. IDK.

LE saying we’ve got it all wrong keeps lingering in the recesses of my mind.
Keeps lingering in mine, too.Yes, I see what you’re saying, and perhaps. Although she could still be a hero for recording him even if she didn’t mean to do so because she was specifically spooked by him.
LE has heard everything on the tapes but it may not indicate they were scared of him initially. LE could have just been saying she was a hero bc she gave us the video regardless. Or the fact that she kept the video or audio going- which could have been intentional or not. Either way- hero to have provided the evidence. JMO. Trying to think outside the proverbial box. LE saying we’ve got it all wrong keeps lingering in the recesses of my mind.
I agree with all of the responses and can't rule out a single possibility of why she was recording and all are good thoughts and I have very similar ones.
I too wonder what was gotten wrong considering few facts are out there? I thought that remark mainly related to Utube re-enactments had it wrong? Or was it with all thoughts?

Does anyone know if Libby took the video with the front facing camera. You know as if you are taking a selfie. I have this image in my mind of her walking to the end of the bridge but videoing behind her. It may not have been obvious to BG that he was being videoed if she wasn't looking directly at him.
Me three.bbm
That was my understanding also.
