During the April 2019 press conference, Indiana State Police released a new sketch & Delphi Murders audio file of the suspect speaking. He appears to authoritatively instruct the girls “Guys, down the hill”. Police are asking for the public’s help- do YOU recognize this voice? Listen to the Delphi Murders audio file below:
The audio was recorded by Libby German on her cell phone. This remarkable young woman had the foresight to record both video & audio of the man responsible for the death or her and friend Abby Williams.
In addition to the release of the Delphi Murders audio file, a new police sketch of the suspect was released. Investigators have instructed the public to disregard the previous well known sketch commonly referred to as “Bridge Guy” (which appeared to be a middle aged man wearing a cap), as the individual depicted is no longer a suspect. Additionally they are asking the public to stop sharing the old sketch on social media, and not to compare the two. The new sketch – and the new sketch only- should be the only focus going forward. While the man appears to have a youthful appearance, police say he may actually “fall in the age range from his 20’s to late 30’s”. State police said that the Delphi community should reflect back on people they know in the community that look similar to the [new] sketch released on April 22, 2019, especially if that person has changed their appearance since the murders occurred in February 2017″. He is believed to be local to the Delphi, Indiana community. Tips should be emailed to abbyandlibbytip@cacoshrf.com .

Additional Clarification Released by Indiana State Police:
- The two sketches related to the Delphi Case (“Bridge Guy” with hat and the new sketch) are NOT the same person.
- The man in the old sketch is NOT currently a person of interest in the Delphi Murders.
- The new 2019 sketch is representative of the face of the man Libby German captured on her cell phone as he was walking on the bridge.
- He may have changed his appearance since the 2017 murders and look different (example: grew a mustache or beard, grew his hair longer or cut his hair shorter).
