Court TV is reporting that police and prosecutors are being super cautious about keeping everything under wraps. Perhaps there's more going on behind the scene. We'll just have to wait and see.

Was that the 2 teenagers walking around a bridge and one managed to catch the guys voice on a recorder ?

I can't remember there's so many incidents.

Yes, happened in Indiana. One of the girls captured him on Snapchat and could hear him ordering them, "Down the hill." There's an Apple podcase called, "Down the Hill,' which is very good. They interview some of the girls' family members. It's sad, but very well done. Hope they've caught the right person, those poor girls.

These girls were only 13 and 14 yrs. old. I remember everyone was in a state of shock. This happened about an hour and a half or so drive from where I live.

Not far from me either, @jubilant. A little over an hour.

Those poor little girls. What a tragedy. I can’t imagine the terror they endured.

My heart goes out to their family, I can’t imagine what they are going through.

I'm just now seeing this thread. I, too, live an hour or so away from Delphi and have a good friend who lives there. I had just about given up and thought this would be a cold case forever. I hope their families find some type of comfort/closure in knowing this person has finally been arrested. Since the murderer lived in Delphi, I can't believe that the audio and the video clip didn't lead to an arrest sooner.

I think they said that the suspect will be in court on jan 13 2023 and have a trial date set for march 2023. hln showed his house when law officers were going in and out searching it and he and his wife were by their vehicle for hours. he worked as a pharmacist at cvs and did not charge one of the families for pictures for the funeral.

I feel bad for his wife and children. on hln they showed a picture of his daughter taken on the same bridge. he was arrainged on oct 26 2022.

I've been warning the little ones I know to run, run, run away in different directions when there are two or more victims.

In other words, don't follow directions from a stranger !!

RIP, these two sweet young girls.

What a shame that someone very mean went out of his way to do this terrible thing to two innocent girls.

I've heard a rumor that one of them was in contact /chat with someone online??

Please tell your young grandchildren relatives to be careful, and run, run away. Two or more split up and run.

The photo/video provided on the news shows that he wasn't carrying a gun.

Just this very minute, I just thought of something.

Could it be that there were two m*rderers?

On Court TV, they've been showing three sketches, the latest one looking to be a much younger man, not resembling the first two sketches and/or also not resembling the video of the man walking on the bridge.

Then, after going back in my mind, wondering how one person could chase and capture two victims.......

I'm now thinking that there might have been two men commiting this terrible crime.

If there is another suspect, I'm hoping that he will be found.
