While the summer of 2023 marked one of the hottest seasons on record, July and August ushered in a subtle cooldown in public case filings and updates pertaining to the Delphi murders case. Following a whirlwind of activity surrounding a pivotal June 15th hearing, and the subsequent release of documents on July 28th in response to a Motion for Public Access to Court Records filed by Áine Cain and Kevin Greenlee of Murder Sheet LLC, the dog days of summer rolled along with little news.

The original origins of these rumors remain shrouded in mystery, yet they undeniably sparked a fervor of speculation and discussion. Do they hold any substance? At present, no involved party has come forward to affirm or refute these claims, though this is to be expected, as the imposed gag-order forbids public commentary from many closely involved in the proceedings.

NARRATOR: From Ives’ perspective, crime scenes in Carroll County are generally routine. He says it’s usually pretty clear from the jump who did what… but that’s not the case here.

BARBARA [HOST]: You were quoted as saying that the evidence, or the crime scene, was “odd”. What do you mean by odd? 

ROBERT IVES: Well, in one sense, any murder scene is probably odd. But again this is where I have difficulty because I’m not sure what all has been released. There were a variety of things at the scene of the crime where I guess I would ask you to talk to the State Police about that.
