Publisher's summary

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 best-selling coauthor 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.

Well Done!!

I learned so much more about Delphi! Very well written and narrated. Can’t wait for Nic’s next read!

Great book

Story is heartbreaking and frustrating at the same time because of the little evidence that is available. Worth the credit or funds. You will not be disappointed!

If you love Nic in his podcast, this is for you

I enjoyed the longer format story telling Nic does in this book. It’s got other well known and lesser known cases woven in.

Very well put together

This was detailed and easy to follow. The narrator was brilliant. Congratulations to you, Nic! Love True Crime Garage

Great job, Nic!

A great read for anyone who has followed the case of Abby & Libby out of Delphi, Indiana. It’s a heartbreaking story, but one that needs to be told in order to get the Justice these girls deserve. Nic did a fantastic job of explaining this case, along with many of the suspects along the way.

I hope this is the first book of many from Nic. Well done, Sir. Cheers!

Very good summery of the case

Great narration and an overall good book.. you can tell the author really cares about the girls and their families .

Great book!

Very informative and well written. I also enjoyed the back story about how the podcast was started.

Bravo- Great Research

This is a well researched true crime book. Perfect narrator choice. Highly recommend. Nic thanks for writing this book.

Good Effort

Great effort by the author, but the book lacks substance. Most of the book is speculation and anecdotes from similar crimes. I’m about half way through and I don’t think I’ll finish.

Thank you.

It’s easy to see the passion for solving this mystery. I enjoyed listening to your research and personal thoughts. I wish you would have narrated the book though.
