Indiana State Police have released a sketch of a man Monday believed to be the main suspect in the murders of two teens who were found dead in the woods in February.
The sketch shows a man sporting a goatee with a hat and a hoodie. Police describe him as a white man with reddish brown hair, standing 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-10 and weighing about 120 to 180 pounds.
Friends Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14, went missing on Feb. 13 after a hike on the Delphi Historic Trails. The teens’ bodies were found the next day in the woods, miles away from Indianapolis. Their deaths were ruled a homicide, and police didn’t say how they were killed.
