Catfishing Killer?? Everything We Know About the Delphi Murders || True Crime Recaps Podcast

[@TrueCrimeRecaps]

*Why do you think police are connecting the 'anthony_shots' profile to the Delphi murders?* Anyone with information about this case should call the tip line set up for this investigation - 844-459-5786

This is a great cover of this frustrating case, thanks. Justice for the girls 👍

[@victoriawilliams2786]

Imo, police may have had a warrant served to certain apps in order to get the identification information regarding the fake accounts. They probably also had a warrant for geofencing as well. Those two things combined could possibly aid in providing more substantial proof needed to have a better chance of prosecution. (I hope)

I thought the reason why was because he had communicated with Libby on snapchat?! I don't think he did it...too obese for all that physical activity....he seems more of a stay at home keyboard warrior, creepy living in a basement kind of pervert.

Bridge guy looks Ike his unfit and has a bit of a limp. I think it's either the Keegan guy or his father, apparently they're both pervs. Keegan (aka Anthony shots) perhaps sauced info from tbe girls they were doing bridge walk and when. Although you'd think if so, cops would have had early evidence of this tthrough searching heir tecnology devices. Never would I allow teenage girls to spend a day, in such an isolated, remote,unsupervised area

He was keeping track of lots of girls to pass on information to a pedo ring. Bridge guy came in and waited for them. A second guy was waiting as well. I am sure a gun as well.

[@the_ravens_room]

Tip from a cop which has always stayed with me... Fight for your life before going anywhere with a person who's trying to abduct you/harm you because that fight will be a lot less painful than whatever they have planned for you, if they get you to the destination they intended. Fight with every ounce of energy - bite, scratch, scream, bend fingers back, poke eyes, pinch, knee/kick/jab/squeeze the groin or throat - from the very start and don't stop until you have a chance to run.

I was at Disney the other day. This girl who looked about 12 years old was sitting at a table and was kinda balancing the chairs on its back legs when it gave out and she started the fall back. The horror that she’d hit her head on the wall behind her prompted half my table of people to jump up instinctively. I think of this now, because for me personally I’d do anything I could to protect a child whether I know them or not. That instinctual desire to protect children comes so naturally. It did for most the people around us and I’d bet the rest who didn’t immediately react were just oblivious to what was happening. Thinking on this event and how we all reacted...it just shows how absolutely unnatural this man is for killing these two beautiful, innocent little girls.

Once they met up with this guy the girl knew this was bad and started recording cause she knew the deal . And once they were asking where was the other person they thought they were meeting I think the catfish was like oh so and so is somewhere else I’ll bring you to him …which could be why he said guys down the hill… saying guys and the way he said it was like he knew them or try to act comfortable like a friend , then there’s Libby’s step grandfather mike… he looks like the sketch , he has the same body and there’s many pics of him posing the same way with his hands in his pocket . Also the cops are saying it’s someone in PLAIN SIGHT . they’re literally hinting the fact they know who it is . There’s interview with him that REALLY rings a lot of bells inside .

Probably just that they felt unsafe and felt that he could have been intentionally following them (as opposed to just walking in the same direction on the trail.) Often when we get a bad feeling from someone, or a situation it's because we are subconsciously picking up on body language. It can be hard to put your finger on but it's totally instinctual.

Its just another instance of the sagacity of following your instincts, that natural intuition is the most efficacious self defense you have, more so than a weapon. Its infuriating that girls and even adult woman are still taught to be nice regardless, put the proprietary first and your fears second. Even if you are going to act on that primal fear telling you you're in danger, do so in a subtle way. " don't raise the alarm just on the account of your feelings , don't be hysterical" The same way we have failed young men in this country by leaving them in an eternal adolescence. no path to manhood, until they loose hope, any sense of self & then , of course, get angry & either start shooting, or internalize and start useing. We haven't taught our girls anything beyond the Victorian era, " be nice, be polite to your killer, if you raise the alarm it will be dissmised, you're too emotional " These young girls where brave to get video footage, I just wish our culture had told them, " if you're fearful enough you feel the need to document evidence, then you need to call for help immediately " However, the fear of appearing foolish, easily frightened, alarming parents, or stepping out of line, causing trouble. There is so much ingrained in them to keep the peace at all costs. though we don't really say it aloud anymore, because we pretend we dont beleive it anymore. But we still hold hands with the classic long standing idea; " woman can become hysterical over any stimulus, don't over excite them, don't give them math , don't expect logical behaviour, woman lead with emotions "..... Of course we can't speak so plainly, its frowned upon, and can be less efficient. Unfortunately there is no need to spell it out, television , movies, they drill home the same message, in a soothing , not too obvious, subconscious, propagandist way.......

People stay out of jail when they have connections. He knew someone, somewhere connected in local politics.

And what happened to the woman walking her dog who spoke briefly to who might have been BG?

I know towns like this. My town has 3,200-ish people and drugs, mainly meth, is rampant. But Delphi, Indiana had 2,935 residents as of 2019, and I can't imagine their violent crime rate was very high. I could be wrong, but in my rural small town in central NY ours sure isn't, and we have more people. Plus it's NY, people in this state are kinda nuts sometimes. So I don't doubt the drug problems, since many folks think there's nothing to do in these towns except get drunk or high, but I'm kinda doubting the crime rate, as far as being full of murderers specifically.

@@Lorelaiv9 I live about 45 miles from Delphi.. You are correct, violent crime is not a problem or even very common here.. The crime we do have is mostly petty theft..
