IN - James Chadwell II, 42, arrested after girl 9, found in his home, Lafayette, 19 Apr 2021 #2

The bluish spots? That look like maybe a couple of flattened beer cans?

My coworker and I were just looking at this, she had no clue about anything. I showed her this pic and the general area we were looking at and she said “oh that’s some flattened beer cans, maybe Miller lite”

Thank you! Yes, that is exactly the location I was referring to. From parking his car, he could walk along the hill to the bridge, cross the bridge cornering the children at the other end, force them under the bridge and across the creek to where they were murdered. It's a quick hike up the hill to his car, and he was gone.

MOO Maybe motorcycle.

I think the drawings referred to (2 of them?) are placed on the ground on the far side of the deciduous shrub that appears behind JBC.

I cannot find the link to the drawings, can you point me in the right direction?

Questions about Chadwell at this time:

• Where was he living at the time of the crime ?
• What was he driving ?
• What were all the vehicles that he had access too at that time, including work, relatives, and friends ?
• Was he a geocacher ?

Perhaps there are some clues in Facebook photos?

Someone was asking how L.E. explained the 2 sketches.

Subsequent to the 2019 press conferences and quotes in news articles (the following video is from February 13, 2020 (3rd anniversary):

At 2:13 video time, Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter says,

"There'a combination of those 2 images that will land on his face"

re: the tattoos. I found some posts where he shows a rather nice ink design. Apparently he's a tattoo artist. I don't know whether there's any significance, but I thought it was interesting.

I think this is the first one. There's some discussion in the comments from people who have had tats done by him. Also comments about artistic talent in his family

Facebook..

Progress report.
Facebook..

In the comments, EAW asks if he tattoos and he says yeah.

Facebook..

A few days later he posts the finished design with a rather creepy comment about working on flesh:

Facebook..

Though I gotta say, that's a really nice design.

he has some talents- seems to get some decent jobs, but then the alcohol and the violence... curious if he actually went to college- if anyone remembers him from that time. something odd about his "art for ex-convicts" speech too- as if to mock art therapy. my impression about his family members is that they were always hoping he would "get better," that they tried to be positive when he was released from prison, but that nothing improved. IMHO.

would he have had psych evals the other times he was in prison? curious if there is already a file on him.

He sure popped out the words, “psych eval”, asking for one.

Maybe he does.

The comment asking if it was Deer Creek and the sketches are years apart, arent they?
ETA. I am not sure how I quoted Carbuff's post here. Disregard it please.

Yes, the comment about Deer Creek was recently - after his arrest. Probably another sleuther.

His FB friends and family members are trying to get his FB page taken down because people are harassing them. So if there is any info that you want to keep, better grab it before it's gone.

*what do those recent check-in on the right of his page mean? I don’t do Facebook so ??

*Eta: I filtered his posts by year 2017. I find them interesting.

MOO I believe he got out of SD prison August 2016. Then he possibly worked in Subaru plant on Lafayette for a short while, then was waiting for a welding job with Moon Fabrication in Kokomo and living homeless? maybe partially with a GF?
Actually I need to a

Can you please link where LE says that the first sketch and second sketch depict the same person? I don't ever recall LE saying that the first sketch and the second sketch depict the "same suspect."

LE has always referred to the BG as a suspect. But for what crime? An accessory? Killer? I don't think that anyone doubts BG was involved but in what capacity? Since the second sketch has been released, I don't ever recall them saying that BG/sketch #1 is the killer. They have only said that sketch #2 is the killer. And while they have never stated that there are two perps, they have left that door open. Also, LE has not been clear about the relationship between the two sketches. For some reason, they don't want to eliminate the possibility that there was a second person involved. Maybe it's because they don't truly know or maybe they don't want to show too much of their hand.

There’s a lot of quotes to sift through, over four years, but there’s no doubt in my mind The Suspect is wanted for the murder of Libby and Abby.

When the first sketch was released -
July 17, 2017
Police unveil composite sketch of Delphi double homicide suspect
“The sketch accompanies two more crucial pieces of evidence released by investigators in hopes the public would recognize the suspect.

In the months following the girls' deaths, police have released an image of a suspect and an audio recording of a man saying, "Down the hill." Both pieces of evidence were captured by German's cellphone about the time of her death, police said....”

When the second sketch was released -
April 22, 2019
New 'Face' of the Delphi Murder Suspect
“Today, a new sketch of the suspect, appearing to be in his mid-twenties to mid-thirties and believed responsible for the murders of the girls, was shared with the Delphi community and media. As the investigation has progressed, information has been continuously reviewed and examined and this sketch more accurately depicts the face of the suspect from the video recorded on Liberty German's cell phone while she and Abigail were on the High Bridge.”

Why Police Have Not Released Details on the Murders of Libby German and Abby Williams from Delphi, Indiana
“To have enough presence of mind to activate the video system on her cell phone to record what we believe is criminal behavior about to occur, there is no doubt in our mind that she is a hero.”

Just happened to have the link handy ...

"On Monday afternoon, Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter released new video, audio and a sketch of the person they believe killed Abigail Williams and Liberty German in February 2017."

Delphi murders update 2019: New suspect sketch, video released

The "suspect" in this context means the murder suspect. Police are clear that is it a "new sketch" of the person suspected in the murders.

Indiana State Police clarify reasons for 2nd sketch in Delphi murders case - WISH-TV | Indianapolis News | Indiana Weather | Indiana Traffic


Police also made these points Thursday about the two sketches:

• They are not the same person.
• The person depicted in the originally released sketch is not presently a person of interest in this investigation.
• The sketch released Monday is representative of the face of the person captured in the video on Liberty German’s cellphone as he was walking on the high bridge a place where the girls were hiking.
• The person in the sketch released Monday is described as having a youthful appearance, but could fall in the age range from his 20s to late 30s.
• This person’s appearance could look different today if he has grown a mustache, beard or let his hair grow longer or cut his hair shorter than depicted in the sketch.

or if he changes his haircut and facial hair all the time and posts pictures of it on Facebook?

(Would some one actually murder people and then shave before leaving the scene to look different? this seems crazy even for a murderer however, if I wanted to change sketch #1 to sketch #2, a razor would be the method... just a thought)

And to have done what he did in only 30 minutes time - he had no hesitation.

That is typical behavior of a killing pedophile to be done quickly, albeit efficiently. They are opportunists with an insatiable appetite, hence no delay of the deed; the pedophilic purpose is committed to strike straight away. Chadwell is not stupid. He is cunning. He is a manipulator. We watched it happen in what seems like a real time movie.

He is the epitome of evil. When viewing his TikTok videos, watch his right eye. It does a sly duper's delight that resembles a twitch where his right eye half-winks using the top eyelid... and the cheek... Some may see the manner of the slight movements to be a bit devilish, a bit threatening and not the sweetness he wished you saw.

A couple of minutes, ABC’s Inside Edition just showed a brief interview with JC’s brother who stated that when he was 4, his brother James tried to drown him, and that he doesn't remember him having the crying girl tattoo upon release from prison. Dad (calls himself step-dad) said that Chadwell could very well be responsible for Delhi murders and that he should be imprisoned and the state should throw away the key. Wow no love loss.

SF's a victim of JCs hatred as noted by the stepdad forcefully yet legally kicking his tail out of the house, was it in Kokomo?
How many children do we read about that attempt murder by age of four?

• This person’s appearance could look different today if he has grown a mustache, beard or let his hair grow longer or cut his hair shorter than depicted in the sketch.

So this is really interesting to me. In this article, it says that the two sketches do not depict the same person. It then says that sketch #2 is the person who they think was on the bridge and was captured on Libby's phone. That would mean sketch #1 was not the person on the bridge or on Libby's phone. So who was sketch #1? For two years, they were looking for someone who was not the person on the bridge???

Someone was asking how L.E. explained the 2 sketches.

Subsequent to the 2019 press conferences and quotes in news articles (the following video is from February 13, 2020 (3rd anniversary):

At 2:13 video time, Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter says,

"There'a combination of those 2 images that will land on his face"

But then in this interview, Carter says that the killer will be a be a mixture of the two sketches. So they have two completely different people (one of whom is no longer a suspect according to the article above) who will ultimately be a combination of the killer? Doesn't it seem strange that Carter believes the killer will ultimately resemble a person who "is not presently a person of interest in this investigation"? It's almost as if they have two different renderings of the same person, but that is not what was communicated in the top post.

And this is why I think that the relationship between the two sketches is ambiguous. Thank you both for sharing the linked information!

the college is in his Facebook... so- a lie? a wish? a drop out? welding might just be a better salary than some other jobs

I missed that one but was taking a better look at the one posted June 1, 2020, with the tree on the ground. It looks like there are drawings on the ground in the background. It looks like he is wearing the same clothes as in the photo you are discussing but it’s posted on a different date.

Edit to Add: If you SS the image and use the magnifier tool they appear to be face drawings JMO

I need more direction maybe in relation to a branch or?
