On February 13, 2017, two Indiana teenagers, Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14, went for a walk in the woods near the abandoned Monon High Bridge. They never returned home. Their bodies were discovered on Valentine's Day morning, sparking a torrent of news coverage and social media speculation that engrossed the attention of people around the world. A grainy photo of the suspected killer walking across the bridge and a chilling cellphone recording of his voice saying "down the hill" captured the public's attention. Numerous possible suspects were brought to the attention of the authorities but dismissed, leaving everyone wondering who could have committed such a heinous crime. Author Nic Edwards, host of the wildly popular True Crime Garage podcast, was fascinated by the case and for years conducted his own extensive research and commentary. As such he was able to dissect the investigation that included an extensive list of possible suspects, such as a hatchet-wielding lunatic, a kidnapper with unusual tattoos, a murderous pastor, a rapist, and a father and son catfishing team. Then in late October 2022, local pharmacy technician Richard Allen was charged with the murders. His arrest raised multiple questions about how he was able to evade law enforcement for so long and what motivated him to commit such a horrific crime. In THE DELPHI MURDERS: The Quest To Find 'The Man On The Bridge', Edwards and his bestselling co-author Brian Whitney (YOU HAVE A VERY SOFT VOICE, SUSAN) provide a detailed account of the investigation from the day the girls' bodies were found to the events leading up to Allen's arrest, and unique insight into the minds of the killer and those who worked tirelessly to bring him to justice.

A great partnership
The Delphi murders investigation was one hell of a rollercoaster and the cars on the tracks might as well have been shaped like question marks. ( from the Delphi murders)
The Delphi murders are the focal point of this book, but it is much more. Cases that remain unsolved for such a long time change everyone involved. Especially when there is no closure, the physical strain can be immense. It’s therefore a big relief when a cold case can be solved. Sometimes with the help of bringing a case to the public’s attention.
I know Nic Edwards, or rather his voice from True Crime Garage, a podcast he co-hosts. It gets clear right from the start how much he’s occupied with true crime, especially the Delphi murders. His expertise is remarkable, and his search for the next case is relentless.
Even if you have listened to his podcast already while reading you get to know him much better. What drives him on, or what keeps him motivated to pursue the most heinous murder cases?
The authors mention many topic-related books, these recommendations in themselves are a treasure trove for true crime aficionados.
It’s written in a heartfelt manner, I liked the included real police statements and interviews, something I haven’t encountered before. Only the footnotes were a bit aggravating, further into the story I just stopped reading them.
The author’s dream became true, he co-wrote a great book, may there be more to come.
