No Comments
HLN Down the Hill Delphi Murders Transcript. New information from roundtable discussion includes a high school witness saw BG suspect and Libby's video length. This is a picture of the video's participants (Barbara MacDonald, Drew Iden, Casey Jordan, Mike Galanos)

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM HLN ‘DOWN THE HILL’ INTERVIEW:

  • A female high school student on the trails prior to Abby and Libby’s arrival may have spoken to the suspect known as ‘Bridge Guy’. 
  • 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. 

True Crime Live host Mike Galanos sat down with HLN documentary producers Barbara MacDonald and Drew Iden, along with criminologist Dr. Casey Jordan, to respond to viewer’s queries and share their insight into the Delphi Murder investigation.

Known as ‘The Delphi Murders’, the case received significant notoriety due to the heroic actions Libby, who used her phone to capture video and audio of her killer. Despite this incredible piece evidence, the case remains unsolved.
