Teen Girls Post Cryptic Photos Just Before Their Deaths (Photos)

The bodies of two teenagers were found near a creek in Indiana — soon after one of them posted cryptic photos to her Snapchat account.

Liberty German and Abigail Williams went missing after they went hiking. 14-year-old German took to Snapchat to post a photo of 13-year-old Williams walking along a railroad in the town of Delphi, Indiana. The post was reportedly the last time the girls were seen alive. 

WRTV reported that the girls were supposed to be picked up near the Monon High Bridge, where they were dropped off, but they never showed up.

After the girls went missing, a search party of police, firefighters, Department of Natural Resources officers and sheriff’s deputies went looking for them. The bodies were found a mile east of the bridge. 

“The family asked us to thank the communities around Delphi and the people here in Delphi for assisting in attempting to locate the two young children who were missing here earlier,” Sgt. Kim Riley said at a press conference. 

Police chief Steve Mullins declined to offer much detail into the investigation.

“I think people in the community are smart enough in our community to draw their own conclusions about what they should feel and shouldn’t feel,” he said. “Our people are very smart. We have a very good community and they are very strong. And they are able to draw their own conclusions about this whole situation very successfully.”

Though police did suspect foul play, they would not reveal whether the suspect or suspects were still at large. 

Students at the school that German and Williams attended were given a letter informing them of the tragedy.

“It is with heavy hearts that the school corporation day comes to an end. It is our understanding that the two bodies found today were those of our two missing Delphi Community Middle School students,” the letter stated.

Counselors and local pastors were made available to students following the completion of the search.
