Reward for Delphi Murder Doubled

So far, the trail has been cold and investigators are ramping up efforts in asking the public for information that leads to the arrest of a suspect in the double-murder in Delphi. Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee and Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter have announced a larger reward for anyone with further information about the case.

 

The monetary award is now two-hundred thousand dollars, as authorities are trying to locate a man wanted in connection to the double homicide of two teen girls; 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams, who's bodies were found February 14th in a highly forested area of Delphi where they had planned to take a nature hike, approximately 60 miles from Indianapolis in Carroll County.

McAfee urged the public to look at a  photograph and listen to a sound bite of a male voice saying "down the hill" that authorities say originated from German's cellphone at the time of the murder.
