Description
The prosecutor in the Delphi murders case wants to keep jurors from seeing or hearing about two widely circulated composite sketches investigators released in their search for a suspect.
Tuesday morning, the state filed a motion asking Special Judge Frances Gull to prevent the defense or any of its witnesses from referencing those sketches during the trial without express permission from the judge.
Law enforcement released the sketches with requests for public help as they investigated the deaths of Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14. The girls went for a walk near the Monon High Bridge in Delphi on Feb. 13, 2017, but did not return that evening to meet family. Searchers found their bodies nearby on Feb. 14.
On July 17, 2017, nearly five months later, investigators released the drawing of a man wearing a hat based on reports of witnesses who saw a man in the area.
On April 22, 2019, Indiana State Police held a news conference where they released the second sketch along with a video clip and extended audio clip.
