FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Police investigating the murders of two teen girls from Delphi have found DNA supposedly belonging to the girls’ killer.

It’s been six months since Abby Williams and Libby German were murdered while walking on a hiking trail near Delphi, and now the Indiana State Police says they not only have more audio of the killer’s voice, recovered from Libby’s cell phone, but also DNA evidence that they believe belongs to the killer.

Here’s already-released audio of him telling the girls to go down a nearby hill, where their bodies were later discovered. Police aren’t yet releasing the additional audio, nor are they saying yet what kind of DNA evidence they have.

Police tell the Indy Star they’re getting “close” to identifying the man, whose photo you can find above, alongside an updated composite sketch. A reward is being offered for his capture.

Yeah police been saying things for 6 months. They screwed up from day one, they wouldnt issue amber alert and they called off search due to “darkness”. Left the poor dad to search alone. I feel they botched from the beginning! We will see about this DNA. They are getting so much heat that they have to throw a bone ever so often.

Understandable frustration but you have to remember in the beginning they had no reason to believe the girls were in imminent danger…also in a small town that never has had a horrific crime such as this one…no one was thinking that anything even remotely close to murder had happened to them…I’m sure they thought ..OK teenagers on a camping adventure…nothing worse…give them a break pleade…they are grieving with you 🙁
