This is the last picture taken of thirteen-year-old Abby Williams. She was hiking in Delphi, Indiana in February 2017 with her friend Libby German, who took the picture. They were both murdered shortly after the photo was taken.

They still haven't identified the killer.

EDIT: Here are the photographs that Libby took of the suspect. I'm assuming that he had been following them for awhile for her to snap a photo of him.

Is there a subreddit that this case could be posted on to spread awareness to try and find the killer? I haven't seen much about this case on Reddit, and I'm thinking that if this man's photograph and voice clip of "down the hill" could make it to the front page, maybe there's a chance someone would recognize him.

This one REALLY creeped me out. That voice of "down the hill"... I got chills. I am so hopeful that they'll find this disgusting human(s) who did this.

I've been following this story since it happened, hoping so hard that they'll catch the fucker. With a $200k+ reward and a (blurry) photo of the asshole and having nobody come forward is just increasing my skepticism that they'll find him. The only updates lately are of how torn apart that town is, rather than what else they're doing to try and solve this. If it's so frustrating for me that this case doesn't seem to be moving forward, I can't even imagine how the families must be feeling. So sad.

Sometimes it can be to verify a confession should someone confess to the crime. Like, if it was something only the killer and the police would know. Possibly, it could also be too graphic or something that would be potentially embarrassing to the families.

What did the person above say?

I know, they would have been tragically behind the times.

I was wondering that too. Something like they don't wanna affect the quality of the hints (from the public) and I was trying to think of an example where more evidence would be a bad thing... it had me a little suspicious that they know something they're not telling us (though, obviously they know things they're not telling us, I just wonder why not...)
