@@barbaravyse660 there is a lot of info if you look it up, yes, but that's the problem. The only reason I know about HLN's special is because I've followed the case for 4 years. What I'm frustrated about is the info not getting out there to all the people that don't follow true crime. This story, and Libby's footage should be everywhere. Free. They shouldn't even put either sketch out there, just her video footage. That sketch nonsense (for this case) just throws everybody off. Somebody would recognize his walk, posture, body, clothes, voice... if it were shared with the public. Including low-income public. So many people still don't even know about these girls, not to mention there is a serial killer amongst us... possibly hunting our daughters as we speak.

In Arkansas we had a case of a young girl murdered in a very small town. It took years approx 15, 16 years. Turns out it was a cousin visiting where she had been staying, the cousin was there, then gone back to where he lived. People need to think, especially in the homes closet to the scene of the crime if they remember anyone like that at all. A person staying in a house nearby that left town just after the murders, maybe stayed for a little while then left. I hope this is the year for these girls killer to be found and their families to find some sense of sanity back into their lives.

Oh and Kline doesn’t recall her calling her when the girls went missing. Do you know why? Because Kline wasn’t behind the Shots account that Libby was talking to. But guess who was? Maybe that’s why she went psychotic at Libby’s grave because the truth is finally coming out. Your little friend is going to have to toughen up real quick behind bars.

I believe that he’s from that area.He May have left suddenly after.Someone unfamiliar would be nervous on that old bridge & the whole “down the hill” tell me that he had already picked out the place where he would commit his crime.He also didn’t have much time to murder the girls and get out unseen. That makes me wonder, was he so well known that he was able to walk right past the searchers without drawing attention? I’m from a very small town and I know that’s about the only someone would get away so quickly & easily .From what I’ve read about Delphi, it’s a very rural town similar to mine. The kind of place where everybody knows everyone’s business. I find it hard to believe that someone doesn’t recognize either him or the voice.If he’s not caught he will do it again,do you want that In your mind forever? I wouldn’t!

I’ve always wondered if this could be a family friend or extended family member who just happened to hear that they were headed there to hike.

[@almVancouver]

I don't think it was necessarily the girls in particular the monster was hunting. It was the poor girls, though, that fell into the trap. This monster was carrying a kill kit. This monster had scoped out, and picked his hunting ground. When the girls crossed the bridge, that was the trap. He likely watched who was coming and going. When he saw the girls, and he knew no one else was across the bridge, or following on the trails, he huffed it behind the girls who were taking pics and enjoying themselves. When they noticed someone crossing behind them, and they may have already seen him, or passed him on the trail, they made their way across the rest of the bridge as quickly as possible as they were likely creeped out by the guy. LIbby got across first with Abby a bit behind. By the time Abby got across, or even before she was across, Libby secretly recorded the guy. Maybe 5 seonds later, when the monster was just getting across, he says "guys" or "Hey guys" then three seconds after that he's on top of them and orders them "down the hill'. Abby's sneaker was found on the closest side of the creek, and the crime scene just across a number of feet up on the other side in the trees.

Very tragic for the families involved that this case has not been solved after 4 years as it has been well covered by the national news!! Libby provided them with a video and an audio to solve this! ISP should totally turn this over to the FBI as Doug Carter is devout and well-meaning but he's way in over his head. The additional sketch is only confused the whole investigation.

I have figured out by slowing down the video and using a magnifying glass that BG is a conglomeration of 3 or more people superimposed with trick photography/photo shop type work. A younger guy, an older guy, someone with long hair that is possibly even a female. You can see in some frames there is a hat. In others, there is no hat. In at least one frame there is much more hair and possibly even part of a woman's hair that they did not remove properly. Some frames show a stache and some is clean shaven. Some have a hoodie, some don't. The chin changes shapes throughout the short video, ears appear in a frame or two and are not visible in others, possibly different hoodies (maybe a black one and a white one and in some frame no hoody at all etc....etc...)It has definitely been tampered with by either Law Enforcement or the perpetrators of the crime. I am not even convinced that it was even filmed by LG. This is why literally thousands and thousands of people have been viewing this video of BG for 5 years and nobody recognizes him......it is a ruse and not simply just some dipshit on a bridge. It is more like 3-4 or possibly more people morphed into 1 video. This explains it.

Pam Krohn - That being your opinion, follow the clues. BM lived about 45 minutes from this site at the time. Was there landscape construction in this area at the time? We have 'AUDIO" of both him and the suspect...compare the two. "guys...down the hill". I do find it interesting that he resembles the sketch. BM's family describes him as an "excellent tracker". A hunter usually has an explanation for blood on his clothes. Could this incident be the reason why he moved to Colorado? Whatever answers you find, advance your theory only as far as the evidence leads you. Then come back to "square one" and advance another theory, see where it takes you.

[@Carlton_Wilson]

He's there. Watching and trembling at each knock on his door. Definitely a local. The composite drawing doesn't seem to match the man seen in the video to me. He seems middle aged, not young like the drawing.

[@aldermoon3178]

Yes, exactly! I'm glad I'm not the only person who was thinking this. The man's movements and demeanor just seem like someone older than the drawing...someone the girls may have thought as an authority figure.

I have read over and over "HE IS FROM THE AREA" what if he is not from that area at all? he may quite well have lived there or some other very close town and therefore is very familiar with the area but no longer has ties there and so flies under the radar of LE and the people of Delphi who are need answers, don't close your eyes to the fact that LE doesn't always get it right Yes murderers do strike in areas they are familiar with but it doesn't mean they live there, i do hope he is caught because he is a danger to any young girl that falls under his gaze, and the girls and their family deserve justice.

[@rebeccarodriguez7624]

I thought the same thing too but....Listen to the newly released audio. There is another word in addition to, “down the hill!”. I know it’s not much more, but it sounds to me like a young voice. Then in that video clip of him closing in on the girls , his jacket is loose fitting and his jeans are more than roomy. A reason for seemingly baggy clothes on may be three fold: hes concealing hidden items, hes disguising his normal appearance somewhat and these weren't owned by him prior to the event and were acquired for or a reason. I believe He laid in waite in order to stalk stalk what he deemed ideal next victims with full premeditation in mind and is therefore concealing much about his normal appearance. Again, if you look closely a the still of him closing in, his jacket has something inside near his belly area. The shadow and sun don't reveal what should be a full round belly, but hard outlines of some type of objects their shapes are almost like protruding thru that thin outer windbreaker like jacket material. Also, a portion of belly area appears lumpy in the shadow of the sun (very briefly) as if he’s got a kill kit stuffed inside. Pure speculation but the newly released voice clip sounds to be from a younger persons voice than what I had initially thought went with the first sketch. Only cops know the reason for the release of the much younger looking indiv. in the second sketch.

Soo where is this new information they are apparently going to release? I saw no new information. The entire episode was just about how the girls were nice. Like I get that its great to hear about the victims. I think we all understand that they were two wonderful girls, but do we want this to get solved or not? Because hearing about how nice they were doesnt help us solve the case. Give us INFORMATION. This case is going nowhere. Clearly they have heaps more evidence that they are strategically withholding but that has not worked. Whats the point of holding back details if you have no one to interrogate? Clearly it is going to take someone from the public to come forward with a lead so I dont know why they are giving us zero information 4 years later. Do they have more footage/audio of him? Were weapons used? What was the nature of the murders? They said there were signatures of the killer... maybe people could recognize them. Did the girls fight back? Did they find DNA under their fingernails? If they did then that means someone was walking for several days after that with scratch marks on them. Its going to take little details like this for something to click in someone's memory.
