Five years after the murder of two American teenagers aged 13 and 14, the sister of one of them does not lose hope of discovering the truth and finding their murderer.
The mystery of the murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German, aged 13 and 14, still remains unsolved. Five years ago, the two American teenagers disappeared before being found dead. Police believe they were killed by a man who has not yet been charged. Libby’s sister, Kelsi German, told “People” magazine that she wasn’t giving up hope of finding out the truth. “Each time the police make a new revelation, it is a little hope that is born. We are all hopeful that this information will lead to something and we will continue to release whatever the police ask us to release,” she said.
The two friends were found dead near an abandoned bridge in Indiana. They were last seen alive on Snapchat. While relatives were to pick them up later in the day, the young girls never arrived at the meeting point. A mysterious man – filmed not far from where the bodies were found – is suspected of having killed the walkers.
In December, ABC News reported that authorities are now on the trail of someone who allegedly set up fake Snapchat and Instagram accounts, posing as a model while contacting underage girls. Investigators found this fake profile, named ‘anthony-shots’, which posted fake photos soliciting nude images of teenage girls, getting their addresses and attempting to meet them. On his social networks, this person “showed himself as very rich, owning several sports cars”. A few days later, authorities said they were able to identify “anthony-shots”, whose real name is Kegan Kline.
Discontinued in 2020
According to online court records, Kegan Kline was previously arrested in 2020 and charged with seven counts of child exploitation, 17 counts of child pornography, one count of solicitation of a child for sexual purposes, three counts of obstruction of justice and two counts of deception of synthetic identity. Last Thursday, Carroll County authorities announced that investigators “continue to work diligently to close this matter.” Specifically, officers want to speak to anyone who has “communicated with, met or attempted to meet” Kegan Kline.
Shortly after the murders, authorities released a photo of the suspected walker, a poor quality image that did not allow his face to be seen. He then wore jeans, a blue coat and a hood. In April 2019, a composite portrait was made public as well as a sound file recovered thanks to a video found in Libby’s phone. Paul Etter, a man hunted by the police because he was possibly involved in the deaths of the two teenage girls, committed suicide last July. He was accused of kidnapping and raping a 26-year-old woman from his home on the family farm before releasing her. He then managed to flee, escaping the police for five days before being found and ending his life.
