MURDERED 13 YEAR OLDS FOUND

February 15 2017

A homicide investigation is underway Wednesday after two bodies, presumed to be missing 13-year-olds Liberty German and Abigail Williams, were found on Tuesday.

The two school friends were last seen on Monday afternoon after they went for a hike along the Delphi Historic Trail in Carroll County, Indiana - just a few miles from home.

Sgt. Kim Riley, of Indiana State Police, told DailyMail.com on Wednesday that the bodies will not be formally identified until autopsies are completed. Results are expected in the next 24 hours.

'At this point in time, we really have no real strong leads on anybody but we're getting hundreds of tips coming in all the time. We have nobody in suspicion yet.'

Delphi Police Department, Carroll County sheriff's department, Indiana State Police and the FBI's Evidence Recovery Team were all coordinating on the investigation.

The area where the bodies were recovered is still an active crime scene and evidence is being recovered.

The bodies were found in the area of the Monon High Bridge on the Delphi Historic Trail. Sgt Riley said people live along the road close to the trail.

'The crime scene is on private property, it's not on the trail itself and it's owned by a subject who lives on that road. '

When asked whether that person was being considered a suspect, Sgt Riley said: 'Right now, everybody is being considered. We are looking at every option, every angle that we have.'

Riley said there had only been three murders in the county in his 30 years on the force. 'It's not something that occurs every day, especially involving 13-year-old girls. That is not something that happens all the time.
