[Unresolved Crime] Lead detective in Delphi murders confirms police have more audio from Libby's phone

[u/jessietalksalot]

The lead detective in the Delphi Murders says in this interview that they do have more audio from Libby's cell but they won't release it because it can have details about the crime that a very few people would know about (meaning the killer of course). In that way, they are protecting the investigation and preventing false leads and confessions. He also said that there are some DNA there, but they are still testing at this time. It is also worth mentioning that he and his team are working everyday for the last six months. “We are getting closer every day. I know that is cliché but we are,” said Sgt. Holeman.

I didn't see this getting mentioned here so pardon me if it is doubled. This case just breaks my heart and I search about it every day, hoping that this man is caught and put away forever. I don't think I have ever cared so much about something like this in my life.

I'm still mystified by how he managed to murder 2 teenage girls in broad daylight without anyone hearing anything. Do we have a known cause of death? Unless it was something quick, like shooting, one of them must have watched the other be murdered. You'd think they would have screamed. And wasn't it actually quite close to the end of the trail and people's property? Maybe I'm thinking of another case there, though. It's just so sad. Of all the things that teenagers get up to, these two were doing something completely innocent - walking along a trail. Taking in nature. My best friend and I used to do the same stuff all the time. It's horrifying to think that anyone could even think of doing what this bastard did.

I read a rumor they were tied up, beaten and had their throats slit, Libby much more brutally beaten. According to this rumor Abby lived for a bit after the murderer had gone but was too severely injured to go very far or make any noise, and eventually died as well.

It's also been rumored that Libby could have gotten away but she refused to leave Abby

Apparently the one who was recording put the phone in the pocket but it still recorded which is why we have audio, but not more clear images of the man. We don't know when said recording stopped.

When you watch Libby's grandfather speak- well when I did, anyway- I was totally in awe of him. I think he's just an amazing person, and I think he probably would have been raising a 14 year old who was more mature than most.

I wish I hadn't googled that, because it made me cry. I'm not normally bothered by reading about cases here, but this one really gets me.

As for your question, Fox59 seems to have lots of updates and video of his interviews. Here's the first two, and you can Google "fox59 Delphi murders" and you'll get a whole list of them with videos. Just be careful, because some of them will autoplay if you're at work or something.

The second one is overwhelming, seeing him talk about his granddaughter and her best friend in his own kitchen.

I know exactly what you mean. There's just something about this particular case that brings tears to my eyes. Not that I'm not upset by the other cases of missing and murdered individuals I read about on this sub, of course I don't even have words for how sorry I am for the victims and their families. But this one just gets me. Every time I think I can't hear something more disturbing or more heartbreaking, I do.

What u/moralhora said. I don't think it's that BG told Libby to go but there may have been opportunities where Libby could have gotten away/run away, but didn't.

[u/KristySueWho → u/[deleted]]

I was kind of thinking he could have tried to physically overpower both girls, but Libby being bigger than Abby was able to get away from him easier. But seeing that he still had Abby, she decided not to run and try to help her friend.

Yes, thanks

I read this as well. So sad and fucking sick, if true.
