Delphi Murders Update January 21, 2021

This post has been updated two times. See here for the March 26 update and here for the even more insane April 4 update.

This is a long-awaited update to the Delphi Murders case. You wonder why I have not published, but it was due to how I was treated. I was reported to the police probably 40 times for being the murderer or for being a “pedophile” (I wasn’t aware that being a pedophile was against the law). I was reported to the IRS 20 times. I was interviewed by a detective as a suspect in the murders. Too bad I hadn’t left California in 3 1/2 years!

I wrote a lot about sexual aspects of the case and this got turned into an idea that I was writing about my sexual fantasies of raping and murdering teenage girls! None of these things other than being the killer would mean anything even if it were true. After all, it’s actions not thoughts that count in this world. But if it makes you feel better, there’s nothing to any of it. I received more death threats than I can count.

Getting down to lesser complaints, it was said that I deliberately made up lies about this case out of whole cloth in order to get more hits! It was said that I was ripping people off by charging for the forum but if you knew the time I put in, I doubt if I made minimum wage.

At first it was free, but we had to get rid of that. See all those posting restrictions on public forums. We were trying to avoid that. We started charging $10 to get in, but we had spies and enemies paying the $10 and then taking our private material out of the group and posting. We went up to $20 to keep spies and enemies out. It worked.

The site’s not monetized so that doesn’t matter, but I have a BA in Journalism and have worked in the field. If there’s one thing that will kill your career, it’s that, and my records clean after decades of published journalism. We charge money for a private forum that met to investigate the crime. There was a tremendous amount of information about the crime there – in fact, it was one of the largest databases for materials about this case around.

We made it private because we were talking about real people as suspects and doxxing people. I’m not sure if there’s a legal liability there, but we were trying to avoid that. It was also done to protect the privacy of our members. Contrary to rumor, we never listed anyone’s name as a suspect for the crime. We did bring up some names but mostly to say that they were cleared or they were not involved. Their names were brought up because they were being passed around.

Some of these people have made it a mission to hunt me down and do unknown threatening things to me. I never realized that pointing out someone was innocent was deserving an ass-beating! We did have one suspect that we were looking at for a long time, but we never published his name one time on this site nor did I publish it anywhere on the Net.

I have never published the names of people we were investigating on the site or anywhere else. Some people got mad because we were looking at them, but don’t worry. We investigated everyone and their brother for this crime. Not many people were off-limits. And of course we looked at family members.

Another rumor says the families hate me. I wouldn’t care if it was true but I do have a good relationship with one of the three parents.

We never had an “secret, special, inside or otherwise sources.” We listed anonymous sources a lot because that’s what we do in journalism! The anonymous sources somehow drove people into a frenzy.

Law enforcement worked with some of us a little bit, but not much. They requested some material from us and we gave it to them. A local sheriff’s deputy was one of the most active members of our group. It was and is extremely difficult for us to get law enforcement (LE) sources, but now and then, we get lucky.

It somehow got out that we had a prime suspect in this case. It was more like my prime suspect. He’s done a number of very suspicious things in relation to this crime, including recording numerous videos inferring that he killed the girls. A lot of his other behavior was suspicious too. Turns out we now feel that he was a dead end and he’s not implicated in the crime.

He’s still a lousy person and he threatened to murder me many times. But he didn’t kill those girls and that’s all that counts. Contrary to rumor, his name was never published one time on this site or anywhere else on the Net. I’d apologize to him but he sent me too  many death threats to bother with that and he’s a scumbag anyway. A scumbag? Sure. A homicidal scumbag? Guess not.

Anyway, we recommend that people turn their attention away from this man.

He’s just one of many, of course. There have already been several false confessions in the crime already.

We do have a lot of new information that I have never seen published anywhere but some of the Facebook groups seem to have been privy to some of this data. Anyway, the rest of the world has never heard of it, so here goes.

The motive for the crime has been revealed:

For a long time there was much controversy about whether there was a sexual assault in this crime. I always thought there was because any time a man murders two teenage girl strangers in this fashion, there’s almost always a sexual component, rape, torture, sexual sadism. The rape and torture are motivated by the sexual sadism.

Anyway, the motive for the crime was the rape of Abbie Williams. I will sit back and let that settle for a bit. I don’t have any specifics on what exactly he did to her sexually, but the sex act was definitely consummated, let’s put it that way. I’m not sure if she was raped while alive or dead. That’s unclear.

Both girls appear to have been bound with ropes behind their backs. We know this because Libby German’s fingernails were covered with bruises and dirt. That means she was digging her fingers into the ground behind her back while being assaulted.

Libby German had numerous defensive wounds on her hands and arms. It appears she put up quite a bit of a fight.

The girls were controlled with a gun. You can see the gun clearly in his right jacket pocket. I can’t believe people still think it’s a rumor. A fifth grader could have figured that out. He pulled the gun on them and  controlled them with it.

The video of UNSUB (the suspect) was taken by Libby’s cellphone. There were also trail cams active at the time. We do not know what photos, if any, were captured there. The murders themselves may even have been recorded by trail cams, but this is uncertain. An audio of the murders may also have been recorded on Libby’s phone. This is uncertain. Obviously this material cannot be released. The reason only the small snippet of voice recording has been released is that that is all there is. There is a lot of other recording from the phone, but it is all muffled and inaudible.

The girls were both definitely marched across the creek by UNSUB.

The pack around UNSUB’s lap is as we said forever a deer kit. Deer kits contain ~5 different knives that are used to cut up a deer carcass after you kill it. This is a bit disturbing because it implies that he may have seen the girls were like wild animals that get hunted legally every year. We do not know if that is a go-pro on his forehead, and we also do not know if the crime was recorded.

But we are now 10

We are also now certain that Abbie also had a phone during the crime. Her phone also played a role in the crime.

Abbie was raped, correct, and the sex act was completed, that is, UNSUB ejaculated. I don’t have any further details than that nor do I know the nature of the sex acts. Hence, police absolutely have DNA because they have sperm cells from UNSUB’s semen. In addition, they have epithelial cells from UNSUB’s skin. The samples match.

There are reports that the crime occurred over an extended space. Supposedly the “crime scene” starts at the Robinson family’s backyard near the dump spot and extends 1,000 yards to the dump site. We don’t know what that means. Maybe it means he was chasing them as they were running away from him and he was attacking them while they ran. But we still don’t know if this rumor is even true.

It is still not known that the girls were killed at the dump site or that they were murdered on the day they disappeared at all. There are continuing rumors that they were removed from the scene and taken to a barn (apparently the Mears’ barn) where they were kept for some time and then returned to the crime scene, dead.

The Mears barn was prominent in one of our theories for a while and it is interesting that it is coming back.

We had an investigator at the barn and he talked to the owners. He mentioned a rumor that the girls were murdered in the barn and he said that their faces both went hard, cold, and pale. They said nothing. He considered that an ominous sign. Also we did discover a small flower set in the barn that looks like the sort of flowered memorials that are left at death sites along highways. In addition, the barn was absolutely searched by cadaver dogs during the search of Lucas’ property.

The rest of his property was also searched by the cadaver dogs. We don’t know what they found. Keep in mind that none of this means that the barn was used in the killings, but it is only interesting that this old theory we thought was dead and buried has experienced a recrudescence. There is a problem with the barn information at the moment, in that it is all coming from a single source, and some people think she is trying to misdirect theories about the crime. Everything about a barn or that barn is completely speculation at this point.

For the moment, we assume that the girls were killed at the scene. Indeed, reports said, “It was all over in 40 minutes.” That means that they were dead by 3 PM. UNSUB was seen hiking away from the crime scene at 3:15 PM. So you can see, there is also evidence that they were killed at the scene. Arguing against that once again are reports that the site was searched more than once the night before.

In addition, Ron Logan described the crime scene as “pristine.” I assume that this is when the police left, but how many homicide sites are “pristine?” It seems a bit odd. Once again, we have no evidence that they were killed away from the dump site and the theory that they were killed at the site remains the best one.

If they were killed in the barn then they would have been returned to the dump site later, probably in the middle of the night. Investigators discovered the dump site by following two sets of footprints downhill from the graveyard to the crime scene. This descending pair of footprints is not explained and it hard to figure a theory for why they are there.

We now have repeated statements that the dump site was absolutely searched during the searches the night before. There were no girls there when they searched. Of course, maybe the girls were there, and searchers were mistaken that they searched the site.

The crime scene was absolutely disturbed. At least two and possibly more searchers touched the bodies. Two searchers tried to revive the girls by mouth to mouth resuscitation. This seems odd if we were dealing with 21 hour cold corpses. Anyway this has contaminated the crime scene.

There is no evidence that police botched the investigation in any way. Everyone is saying that because that’s what people say when a killer cannot be found. But quite a few killers are very hard to catch even by the best police and a large number are never caught and die with their secrets. A homicide case open for three years or even a cold case is not evidence of a botched investigation. Botched investigations are not common in the US.

As I said, the murder weapons were knives as we knew from the start. Libby had her throat cut so badly that she was nearly beheaded. There was a scarf tied around her neck at the funeral to hide this wound. People have attacked this story endlessly, but it is fact. For one thing, I spoke to Libby’s mother and she verified the wound to me and in tears told me that she was the one who tied the scarf around her neck to hide the wound.

The story that Libby was wearing a scarf at the funeral has also been attacked with attendees saying  they never saw a scarf on either girl. However, we are in possession of a photograph of Libby’s funeral. In the photo, you can see her casket and you can make out Libby inside of it. Indeed she has a scarf tied around her neck. We have decided not to release this photo. I assume all of this stuff will come out at some time or another as old crime scene photos of all sorts tend to make their way onto the Net after a decade or two.

There is also a strong rumor that Libby was attacked with a gut knife. A gut knife is included in a deer kit. It is used to for gutting a deer. Libby was stabbed in her abdomen to such an extent that her intestines were protruding from her body. This leads to the horrifying implication that he gutted her body as if it was a dead deer. One wonders if UNSUB is a deer hunter? Additional evidence supporting the story of Libby being gutted in this way is in the form of several reports of detectives in hardware stores a week or two after the crime, asking if anyone had bought a gut knife recently.

There are continuing rumors that the crime scene was staged and that UNSUB left a signature or particular style that was his own at the scene. We reported earlier that UNSUB had stabbed the girls with sticks and branches. Sticks and branches were shoved into both girls’ vaginas and anuses. In addition, Abbie was impaled with a large branch which was plunged into her body right below her solar plexis. The cause of death of Abbie continues to be a single knife wound to the heart.

We heard this rumor first when someone in the community had crime scene photos and published them to his blog the evening of the crime. He thought the killing was some sort of a Satanic ritual and he was the first source about the story of sticks and branches being shoved into the girls’ bodies. We talked about a possible Satanic theme to the crime in early blog posts and were ripped to pieces over it. The reason we wondered about that was due to this young  man’s crime scene photos and his description of them.

This rumor was later verified by the wife of a detective. He could not sleep at night and finally broke down and told his wife about the murders. She also stated that sticks and branches were shoved into the girls’ bodies.

Now we have a third source, a detective from a different branch of LE. This confirms once again the story about sticks and branches being shoved into the girls’ bodies. So we now have three sources for that story.

However, there is no evidence for the Satanic nature of the crime. This was only theorized early on due to the bizarre things that were done to the girls’ bodies. Both bodies were staged and posed.

UNSUB may have used some sort of bleach to kill DNA at the crime scene. In the photo, UNSUB  has a bottle of something in his left pocket. We could never figure out what it is but it seems to be toilet cleaner. This consists of a lot of bleach. Some substance containing bleach, possibly toilet cleaner, may have been thrown onto the body of at least one of the girls. It was tossed onto her the area of her genitalia and lower abdomen. We don’t know which girl he threw this stuff on.

Abbie was nude below the waist and Libby was completely nude so the killer disrobed the girls.

We published rumors that one of the girls was in the early stages of pregnancy. We have been ripped to pieces over this story probably more than any other. However, we recently were able to verify the story via a sheriff’s deputy in a neighboring county. He said that the autopsy revealed that one of the girls was in the early stages of pregnancy. We are not going to reveal which girl was said to be pregnant but maybe we will later. So we now have many unverified and one excellent verified source for this story.

Perhaps the strangest of the new evidence is that Abbie and the murderer had known each other for 3-4 months before the crime. So she knew her killer and he knew her. He apparently met her on social media. A social media link was reported by police early on. Since he was on her social media, he absolutely knew that both girls were on the trails that day.

There are stories that the journey to the bridge was a last minute decision but we now have information that it had been planned since at least the previous Friday. We have a report that people were discussing Abbie and Libby’s upcoming trip to the bridge at a local bar on Friday night. And there seems to have been continuing discussion over the weekend.

As you can see, the killer was very prepared. He knew exactly where the girls would be and at what time. The idea of a random serial killing is nonsense. The killer has no DNA match in the many databases in the Rust Belt that were searched. But LE may have been able to identify the killer by DNA in some other way.

There is now a story that the killer took photos of the presumably dead girls at the crime scene. Photos of the dead girls from the crime scene were sent to Abbie’s phone after the murders, possibly on the evening of the crime.

This killer seems to be using cellphones and social media. And we can’t find him? Color me confused.

Police may or may not have a particular suspect that they are looking at. We are getting conflicting  stories on that. But if they do have a suspect, the killer may be a local. There is also a rumor that the killer may have a close relationship with the girls’ families. This means someone either in the extended families or in their extended friends group. Keep in mind that this not yet v verified. However, a familiar name from early in the investigation of someone in and around the extended families has been mentioned. I do not know if LE actually considers this man to be a suspect.

There are persistent rumors that LE may have a suspect, but simply do not have enough on them to file. We received this information for the first time from an LE officer who works for the Presidential Secret Service, the branch that protests Presidents, their families, and even Presidential candidates. We received this story about one month after the crime.

The implication is that LE have a lot of evidence, but problems with the case have made it difficult to file against any possible murderer. This is presumably making the DA balk at filing charges as DA’s will not take a homicide case to court unless they think they are pretty sure that they can win it.

LE investigated many suspects. They also looked very hard at a family angle.

A well-known and prominent member of one of the families was kept under surveillance by a detective for nine months after the  crime. The detective even followed this person when they went on a vacation with their families a considerable distance away. The surveillance ended after 10 months. We don’t know why this person was being investigated and tailed, but apparently LE thought they might have had something to do with the crime. This person is no longer under investigation and LE don’t think he was involved.

  1. I think at least 2 murderers exist. So sad. If there are families with suspects like sons, the killers may be protecting them. Some sort of violence to protect “the boys”.

  2. With respect Robert,
    How do we know any of this is true and if you are just rolling or not?
    Why was none of this mentioned earlier!?

    It’s hard to take it seriously without a shred of evidence

    1. Why was none of this mentioned earlier!?

      The case has broken wide open in the last 2 months and we have a ton of good information, often well sourced, plus documents and LE sources.

      I have a BA in Journalism. I can’t make stuff up. It’s a violation of journalistic ethics. You never work again if you do that. It’s up there with protecting sources. This blog has always just been a collecting place for all of the reasonable rumors about the case. We were careless early on and now we are being more careful to source and with degrees of certainty. Probably 90% of what I posted earlier has gone bad. Bad rumor. But not all of it. It hasn’t all gone bad. We are always revising our statements, and we are always trying to figure out how credible the rumor is, whether it has gone bad, etc.

      It’s hard to take it seriously without a shred of evidence

      This is a false statement. I have official document(s) from the case. From LE and the courts. Also we now have some well sourced statements basically straight from LE. I had a private paid group with 200 paid members, including LE and members of the girls’ families and a lot of Delphi people. We don’t mess around.

  3. Robert, I noticed that one of the Peru addresses that kept popping up in his Mycase file is owned by the Yoder family. I think these might be grandparents of either his mom or the maternal side of his dad’s family, unless he dated or married someone named Yoder. The Yoders on Gunter Ct in Peru have ties to Greentown & Goshen, IN and Antioch & Madison, TN.

    The Chadwell family has roots in La Follette, TN, and he may have been sent to live with family there in the 90’s, as his first IN arrest for illegal alcohol possession had a La Follette address. If you know someone who has Ancestry.com, you might be able to build out a family tree which might be helpful to law enforcement, tracking his travels.

    The discussion of the unsolved 2012 murders of the 2 little girls in Iowa is kind of interesting since he had criminal history in South Dakota in early 2000s. His travels west could be linked to the family name Yoder. I can’t remember if it was you who tried to link him to the Evansdale, IA deaths, but it and Waterloo, IA are en route to South Dakota, and there are Yoders in IA with IN ties.

    Not trying to create conspiracies or links where none exist, but I think this kid has ties that bind in ways that are beyond unhealthy. I am not sure but I think his parents may have been teens when they had him.

    1. You talking about Chadwell? He’s not involved. He’s just a volatile punk with a huge authority problem and a list of minor crimes and run-ins with authority figures. Who made a huge mistake acting on an impulse.

      This is his first sex crime. He’s not a pedophile, so he’s not motivated that way. He’s not even into teenage girls like most of us degenerate men. He’s looking for a woman over 30!

      Also, he didn’t do Evansdale either. He’s a lousy criminal. Notice he always gets caught? He’s not even evil. He’s just a snotty, volatile punk with a middle finger in the air. BG is stone fucking evil! People need to understand this.

      1. I just found your blog and I appreciate your work. I really respect that while the point of your work is to uncover the truth, there are certain things you won’t reveal to protect innocent people. That says a lot about your credibility, to me anyway.

        One thing I’m confused by is the idea that either of the girls were raped. It seems to me that if there were semen at the crime scene, this would be a closed case. In the Down the Hill podcast, the former prosecutor (I think) stated that there is physical evidence, but it’s not what you think. I would think that the girls were raped, and there would be semen, so I hear him saying there isn’t.

        I don’t understand how they could be raped, and we haven’t matched his DNA to the prime suspect. Investigators can acquire a person’s DNA without a warrant if they want it. Am I missing something? Could he have raped one of them and then doused her inside and out with the toilet bowl cleaner?

        I agree completely about Chadwell’s crime. He had recently moved into that house, the little girl next door triggered his evil desires, and he acted on it, against all common sense. There was no way he was going to get away with it. Like he could have gotten her body out of his house with LE swarming the place next door because the girl was missing. Like they weren’t going to suspect the creepy new neighbor. Not the smartest criminal.

        1. Never mind, just noticed in your next update, you say they weren’t raped. No worries. Just part of the process.

          Also, I meant Chadwell, not Caldwell, of course.
