The new materials included a short video recording in which the suspect is seen walking along the rail bridge.Īn updated sketch of the suspect was also released, as well as an extended version of the audio recording, in which a slight rise in the suspect's voice can be detected as he says the word "Guys.", before the phrase "Down the hill." It was further explained that the previously-released sketch, showing an older man with goatee and cap, is now considered secondary by contrast, the clean-shaven individual of the newly revised composite is the primary sketch of the prime suspect. Superintendent Doug Carter released more materials a few days later in a press conference held on April 22. On April 19, 2019, Indiana State Police announced a "new direction" in the case. It had been drawn by police from eyewitnesses to a certain hiker of the Delphi Historic Trails on the day that the girls vanished. On July 17, a composite sketch of someone who, at that time in the investigation, was sought as a person of prime interest in the murders. On March 20, Logan was released, with no evidence linking him to the double murder case. On March 17, police served a search warrant on the owner of the property where Abby’s and Libby’s bodies were found and searched the home and vehicle of Ron Logan. The suspect was described as a white male between 5 feet 6 inches (168 cm) and 5 feet 10 inches (178 cm) tall, weighing between 180 (82 kg) and 220 pounds (100 kg) with reddish-brown hair. This path is likely where the girls were told: “down the hill”. The man approached them from the north while they were on the south end of the bridge.Īt the end of the Monon bridge is a walkable, but steep path, twisting down a hill. It seems the approach of the man on the bridge had unsettled the girls and Libby appears to have concealed her phone in a successful attempt to capture the man on film. Police said Libby’s phone recorded the entirety of the girl’s last moments. While on their hike, the girls were actively posting to Snapchat and recording video on Libby’s phone.
