Down the Hill: My Descent into the Double Murder in Delphi

by Susan Hendricks - Nonfiction, True Crime

On February 13, 2017, two teenage girls --- 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German --- decided to enjoy a day off from school by exploring the popular hiking trails near the Monon High Bridge just a few minutes’ drive from Libby’s home in Delphi, Indiana. Libby’s sister, Kelsi, dropped the two girls off at the head of the trail. Less than 24 hours later, their bodies were found on the north bank of Deer Creek, about a mile from where they were last seen. There were few clues and little to go on in terms of physical evidence, except for the visual and audio remnants of a strange encounter the girls had with a stranger just hours before their disappearance. In DOWN THE HILL, longtime anchor and journalist Susan Hendricks digs deeper into the mystery that has captivated our nation for years.
