Police: Sketch of suspect in 2 girls’ killings more accurate

— A newly released sketch of a man suspected of killing two Indiana teenagers in 2017 “more accurately represents” the man believed to be their killer than a sketch released months after the girls were slain, state police said Wednesday. The statement from Indiana State Police sought to clarify information about the two sketches on behalf of the multi-agency task force that’s investigating the February 2017 killings of 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams. The police statement issued Wednesday said suspect descriptions were developed early in their investigation and that authorities “initially believed the sketch” released in July 2017 of a white man with a prominent nose and a goatee, possibly in his 40s or 50s, “was a person of interest in this murder investigation.” “Now, as the investigation has matured and past information has been reassessed, it is the belief of investigators with the Multi-Agency Task Force that the person depicted in the sketch released on April 22nd more accurately represents the person wanted for the murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German,” according to the statement. The new sketch is “representative of the face of the person captured” in video taken from German’s cellphone of a man walking on an abandoned railroad bridge, the police statement said.
