Greg Briles, the superintendent of Delphi Community School Corporation, called their deaths a “senseless tragedy” in a Wednesday afternoon tweet. Original story:

 DELPHI, Ind. "This is considered a double homicide investigation, and no further information will be released at this time," Indiana State Police Sgt. “The investigation is still in its baby steps, so to speak, and we don’t want to put that information out yet,” he said during a news conference in Delphi. “There is someone out there that did this crime and we’re going to track them down,” Carroll County Sheriff Tobe Leazenby told reporters. “It is a small community and the community is going to wrap its arms around these families and is going to take very good care of them,” Briles said.

 “We are asking for anyone to come forward with information or were in the area of the Delphi Historic Trails or Monon High Bridge that might have seen a person or persons, vehicles parked in the area or were taking pictures. Riley said police all the way from Lowell, Indiana to Fort Wayne, Indiana have helped with the investigation. They were supposed to meet with family members later Monday evening, but when the teens didn’t show up, and that’s when their family called police. Riley and Leazenby refused to elaborate Wednesday about the girls' deaths or any injuries discovered to the girls' bodies during the autopsies in Terre Haute. Authorities also released two photos of a male who was seen on hiking trails around the time the girls were there and asked the public to help identify him so he could be questioned about what he might have seen. German’s Facebook page includes several photos of her clowning around with friends, including one from November showing her and another girl flashing the peace sign, prompting one Facebook friend to comment, “You goofy girls.” 
 
 
 
 Leazenby and Riley urged the public, particularly people who were hiking Monday in the area where the girls went missing, to contact police with any tips they might have to help authorities in the investigation. “There is nobody of interest at this point in time that we can say.” 
 
 The girls were dropped off by family members at trails near the “Monon High Bridge” just east of their hometown of Delphi about 1 p.m. Monday, WTTV-TV reports. They were reported missing about 5:30 p.m. 
 
 A massive search of the area began, led by local and state police. Riley said the girls planned to hike a local trail, and authorities have received no information suggesting they planned to meet anyone else on that trail. On Tuesday, police announced they found two bodies in Delphi, along Deer Creek, about a half mile from the railroad bridge where the girls had last been seen. Police released a photo of a man taken on the Delphi Historic Trails on Feb. 13, around the time Abigail Williams and Liberty German were walking, CBS affiliate WTTV reports. Riley said the girls’ bodies were found in a wooded area about 50 feet from the banks of Deer Creek in an area less than a mile upstream from the railroad bridge that’s known locally as the Monon High Bridge.
– Indiana State Police are trying to track down a man photographed at the Delphi Historic Trails on Monday around the time two teenage girls were killed there. Liberty German, 14, and Abigail Williams, 13, were dropped off at the popular hiking spot by a family member around 1pm Monday. Their bodies were found Tuesday about 50 feet from the shore of Deer Creek on a section of private property only accessible by foot, reports the Indianapolis Star. A man seen in the area at the time was wearing jeans, a dark blue jacket, and a hood. "We are asking help from the public to help identify him so he can be contacted regarding what he might have seen," police say, per Heavy.com. Police are also asking anyone who was in the area on Monday to contact police with possible tips. "There is somebody out there who did this, and we're going to track them down," says an Indiana State Police rep, noting police are already "following up on hundreds of hundreds of leads." Adds a sheriff, per CBS News, "We're going to get to the bottom of this. We feel confident. And we’re going to do everything within our resources to reach justice in this situation." Officials tell Fox 59 that autopsies on both girls have been conducted but the results are not being released at this time.
