  • Unreleased portion of Libby’s video is short & does NOT contain additional audio or video of the killer.
  • Criminologist does not believe killer knew the girls and agrees with investigators that he is local & follows the case.
  • Contrary to social media speculation, there is no indication that police have narrowed in on a specific person of interest & still hope for ‘the’ tip.

To accompany HLN Down The Hill – The Delphi Murders television special, viewers were encouraged to submit questions about the case which were answered during a round table discussion on YouTube.
