As far as "accent" goes, I was born and raised a Hoosier. I've never thought I had a twang, but most folks I meet say I definitely have one. On the other hand, my husband of 27 years doesn't have one and he was born and raised here too??
I'm very new to this forum, but one observation I've noticed is the clothing. Being a thin built person myself and having a daughter the same, I just noted Abby's attire vs the man on the bridge. I'm always cold, but given our unseasonably warm February, I'm sporting lighter clothing, much like Abby is in the photo. The POI maybe is hiding something under his hoodie and coat.
I've also watched a youtube video doc that was filmed about a month ago of the Delphi bridge. It sure helped give me some perspective of the environment. (even though Delphi is only an hour from me, I've never been there). The bridge is in awful shape, downright dangerous to walk on. I can't see a fast jaunt across it, but it would explain the perp looking down. It would also seem that the perp, wanting to control two girls, would take the shortest exit off the bridge, hence "down the hill".
Something I can't shake is that given the girls were together, he must've used a gun to threaten them, why else wouldn't they "run" from him? I keep coming back to Libby. She had the witts and guts to take pics, video! I think he scared them off the bridge under a false pretense he would let them go. Also, I guess I'm perplexed if there weren't more people out and around there on that day?
I'm thinking about putting a picture of the man and the girls on my vehicle and have friends and family do the same.
