BARBARA MACDONALD: [Voiceover narration] I spoke with Kegan Kline back in December, shortly after his name became public associated with this case. And this is, as you mentioned, believed to be his only on-camera interview. I know that the taskforce investigating Abby and Libby’s murders have viewed the entire 25 minute interview. And from what I understand, they found that interview helpful. Here’s a little bit of what he had to say to me:
KEGAN KLINE: [Speaking on phone in jail] I feel like I’m being harassed. Completely.
BARBARA MACDONALD: Did you have anything to do with the murders of Abby or Libby?
KEGAN KLINE: No. Not at all. I gave up my DNA, a hair follicle test. I’ve done everything they wanted me to.
BARBARA MACDONALD: [Voiceover narration] In December, Delphi investigators announced the catfish account ‘Anthony_Shots’ was active on Instagram and Snapchat in 2016 and 2017. And they asked for anyone who interacted with that profile to come forward. But more than a year ago, then 26-year-old Kegan Kline admitted to investigators that he was behind the fake profile and that he used it to ask young girls for nude pictures and videos.
BARBARA MACDONALD: Tell me about ‘Anthony_Shots’. Why did you create that profile?
KEGAN KLINE: I don’t… I don’t really know. I was just lonely, you know what I mean? Just talking to people. I don’t know why I did it, really.
BARBARA MACDONALD: And were you ever trying to meet these girls in real life, that you were talking to?
KEGAN KLINE: No, never.
BARBARA MACDONALD: [Voiceover narration] Just 11 days after the murders of Abby and Libby, Taskforce investigators served a search warrant on the home that Kegan shared with his dad. At the time, the FBI told The Lafayette Journal and Courier they found nothing to indicate a connection to the Delphi case. Kegan’s electronics were confiscated then, but he wasn’t arrested until three years later. He’s now facing 30 counts of child pornography and child solicitation in Miami County, Indiana unrelated to the Delphi murders. He says though, that Indiana State Police told him ‘Anthony_Shots’ had been communicating with Libby before her murder.
BARBARA MACDONALD: So why do you think investigators are putting so much focus on you right now?
KEGAN KLINE: I have not a clue. Because they…I think it’s because they said I was the last person to talk to her, is what they’ve told me.
BARBARA MACDONALD: And then she shows up at the bridge and they’re abducted and later found dead.
KEGAN KLINE: Right.
BARBARA MACDONALD: And that was not you?
KEGAN KLINE: No. One hundred percent, no.
BARBARA MACDONALD: [Voiceover narration] Kegan says he has no memory or knowledge of communicating with Libby, and investigators haven’t confirmed if what he says is true.
BARBARA MACDONALD: Do you think you’re going to be charged with anything related to Abby and Libby’s murder?
KEGAN KLINE: No. No, I don’t.
BARBARA MACDONALD: So they haven’t… the state police haven’t threatened that?
KEGAN KLINE: No, no.
