Did both Libby and Abby have phones that day or was it just Libby?
As far as we know, just Libby. According to Abby’s mom, Abby didn’t have a cellphone.

I remember very well, how perplexed I was.
First photo the lowest blue dot, in the center closest to the water. That is the approximate location, although slightly further right of that.
An easy way to remember this and quickly find the area is that the bodies location was almost exactly perpendicular left from the end of the bridge. Then across Deer Creek and 50-60 feet up from the bank. It will look too far upstream at first glance but it really isn't. Most maps if they err tend to have the site too far downstream.
then why the heck mention it , very odd, I'm sure the killer doesn't give two hoots about it![]()
MOO the experts have sets of words and expressions to compare against.It's a rural midwestern accent IMO, so the trouble is that it's shared across a wide swath of the country. It's not confined to Delphi specifically or Carroll County or even that exact part of Indiana. Drop down in parts of southern Ohio and you will find men talking exactly like that IMO, and it's the same in many other places.
One of the reporters from the podcast Down the Hill said that they wanted to have a former FBI linguistic specialist on to talk about the accent but that ended up not happening because the expert told them that in his opinion there was not enough in those four words to pinpoint an exact area of the country or say much of anything about it.

Thank you.
Should I edit my posting? After your explanation it seems I'm adding distracting information on the subject.

I hope the FBI also take the spoken words they have, develop sample text that includes all the sounds the suspect made and then compares with a new specialized samples made for the sounds the suspect made.
In other words don't think the FBI has the limitations of sampling that professional linguists have, of relying on "standard" academic samples.
You've lost me guys - who put up the reward money?? Ugh. Off to google.
If I remember correctly, some of the reward, the smaller part, was put up by local banks and businesses. The biggest part was donated by the owner of the Indianapolis Colts and a former Colts player.
I bet if the killer had never heard of The Shack previously, he'd have gone out to get a copy pretty fast after hearing that press conference! Gotta wonder if LE was looking to find someone getting a copy of it? LOL. Far fetched I know. They have enough to do without staking out the libraries. Take it for what it is guys, a small poke of fun at a horrible subject overall.

From a different case: it would seem that the person putting up the money merely has to be someone who has this money. It is not telling otherwise at all.
I don't recall one, but often the reward money is a way to keep the story in the news cycle.Also of note, I don't recall any cases that have been solved as a result of reward money being put up. Do you?

If you look back over the Carrol County Court Records, you'll see a lot of times when Robert Ives pops up as the Prosecuting Attorney. I wonder if the reason why he feels LE should release more information is because of his experience in prosecuting various offences / criminals around the area?
