Indiana man who looks like Delphi suspect is 'weird' and 'violent' | Daily Mail Online

“An accused child molester, whose mugshot has drawn comparisons with the sketch of the suspect in the 2017 murder of two teenage girls is a 'weirdo who liked to hang out in the woods' and is 'very violent', according to relatives.“

From the above link:

“Now, there may be a suspect although cops are rightly hesitant to call him that.

His name is Charles Andrew Eldridge, 46. He goes by Andy.

The burly looks alarmingly like the composite sketch that emerged from the initial probe.

The killer was described as a white male between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-10, weighing between 180 and 220 pounds, with reddish-brown hair.

Sounds like Eldridge.

And he ticks off a tractor-trailer load of other boxes.”

Halfway Across: The Delphi Murders


That work has involved a tight-lipped approach, though. On Libby’s cellphone, a video and additional audio exist but haven’t been shared, despite the prolonged period without an arrest.

“We continually evaluate that,” Riley says when asked about the possibility of releasing more evidence from the phone. “We talk about it once or twice a week. But at this point in time, no, we won’t be releasing more. We don’t want to put all of our cards on the table.”

Police also requested that the autopsy results be sealed, leaving a situation where the cause of death is identified as homicide, but the manner of the killings in unknown. In Delphi—and around the world on social media—people have grumbled about this approach, arguing that the more information is released, the better the chances of a successful tip leading to a conviction.

As investigation nears two-year mark, Dr. Oz discusses Delphi murders

“On Monday, Dr. Oz spoke with his crime correspondent about Eldridge. She talked about what she's learned about him.

"His Facebook is live and it's very strange," said Melissa Moore. "He's posting a lot of things about guns, and not by itself that would be odd, but the fact that he's posting about guns and some sort of cryptic religious scriptures. Then he's got photos of him lurking in the woods and now coming to light like that, it's creepy. but at the end I've also seen a ton of posts about missing children, and then there's also a post about Abby and Libby."”

“Asked whether she feels her social media crusade has generated anything worthy of being passed along to the police, Kelsi says she shares everything she receives. While she tries to help in any way she can, she acknowledges that social media runs wild with armchair sleuths and hurtful conspiracy theories, from YouTube videos with attempted “re-enactments” of the crime to Reddit forums scrutinizing the victims’ families. Kelsi tries to balance all of this by remembering the sister with whom she once watched Criminal Minds. The girl who was good at reading people and wanted to be a pathologist. The one who had the presence of mind to make a recording of her own killer.”

Delphi murders: Unanswered questions 2 years after the slayings of Abby and Libby
DWIGHT ADAMS
INDIANAPOLIS STAR
Feb. 4, 2019

“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.”

An update Wednesday on the now-two-year-old murders of two Carroll County girls, Liberty German and Abigail Williams, gave little information suggesting authorities are any closer to catching the killer.

Delphi Murders: Unsolved After Two Years; Authorities Not Saying Much

“It’s been two years since Anna Williams has been able to hug and kiss her only daughter. Two years since the last time she heard her say “I love you, mom.”

“I never thought I’d be here… not after two years,” Anna said. “We’re tired and we’re frustrated and we’re angry and we just want to find this guy.”

continued

“Libby was a force in their lives.

She was their baker, their crafter and she had a big heart.

The Patty's biggest fear, now, is that her and Abby's story will be forgotten before their killer is found.

“Do you realize how many people we run across now that have forgotten,” Becky said. “(They say) ‘Oh, I thought he was caught.’”

Libby & Abby's families still believe ‘Today is the Day’

(Thank you gregjrichards.)

“Newly-elected county prosecutor Nick McLeland was tight-lipped about the case. Though he outlined information that could be included in what he’d consider a “good” tip, McLeland declined to comment on how many of the more than 38,000 tips received in the last 24 months meet the threshold.“

Delphi Murders: Unsolved After Two Years; Authorities Not Saying Much

Investigation ongoing 2 years after Abby Williams, Libby German killed in Delphi (with clip)

FEBRUARY 13, 2019

"DELPHI, Ind. - It’s been two years since Abby Williams and Libby German went missing during a hike on the Delphi Historic Trails on Feb. 13, 2017. Their bodies were found the next day.

And still, the person who killed them has not been found.

From the beginning, police have released very little in this investigation. But they say this is not a cold case and remains an active investigation.

An admission from the Carroll County Sheriff early on revealed DNA was found at the scene.

“We asked for a fast-track as far as that piece information,” said Carroll County Sheriff Tobe Leazenby in February 2017.

Police won’t discuss even now what DNA was found or why no one has been arrested two years and more than 38,000 tips later.

“We’re getting approximately 10-12 tips in a day,” said Indiana State Police Sgt. Kim Riley. “Over 1,100 subjects that we have looked at.”..."

I don't know if most have seen this, but I think it is worth a watch. The link to a Jan. 25, 2019 interview by Angela Hope with Tobe Leazenby to answer some of the questions that the community has (and that websleuthers have) is at the bottom of this post.

Here is my paraphrasing of most of the questions, which are in bold:

Everybody wants to know why you called off the search for Libby and Abby.

Tobe Laezenby emphasizes that it was not an individual decision made by him to call off the search, rather that it was the decision after a meeting with police, fire, EMS and other community volunteers. The consensus was to make a temporary stop of that search and then restart the search early the next morning. Tobe goes on to say that even though they had formally stopped the search, they did know there were people out there searching throughout the night, particularly community volunteers. We were not in a position where we could tell everyone to stop, so basically we made it optional.

They also noted that they learned that Abby and Libby sometimes went to each others' homes (or other places) sometimes without communicating it to family members.

When asked if the community was in any immediate danger, your answer was no. Can you explain that?

I've been with this agency for 32 years and I have a lot of feeling and real faith that we were not dealing with an ongoing event as far as someone going out there and committing this crime again. More of a concern for me as a LE leader, we obviously did not want to create a large amount of paranoia and concern where individuals and families would have to constantly be looking over their shoulder wondering who is that behind me. That's no way for a community to live. This was solely isolated to these individuals involved. There was no factual information to believe we were dealing with an ongoing situation with someone out there in the community. I still feel the community is safe.

Out of everyone who has been questioned or searched, they are still a person of interest and they will remain that way until there is a conviction?

Correct. People are arrested every day. Whether or not they are charged by the prosecutor and then taken to court and convicted is a whole set of new circumstances. The arrest is just the beginning point...We want to strive for that conviction, which is the ultimate justice for Abby and Libby.
