guilt perhaps. but i think what we re all waiting for is to find out if there was a connection between him and the victims. i predict it is a very tangential connection if at all that perhaps he knew where they were and met one of the girls in a club and felt rejected or rebuffed something like that, that they gleaned from their many interviews, more than 10,000 tips. everyone wants to know motive and even though motive is certainly not required to get a conviction on anyone, the human nature is we want to know the why behind the crime. so if that affidavit sheds any light on that, that is important. what was the connection and was it targeted, did he know them and what was the motive and that is what we re waiting with baited breath to figure out. and the working theory of what we know about the murders and the situation even with a suspect charged there is still that question of did the killer
trace: it is interesting, because now we are talking about the evidence of a knife, a rambo knife, very much military, why do you think they believe this was a rambo style knife and if it was, can they tell from the cuts if this person was right-handed or left-handed? they should be able to tell if they are right-handed or left-handed and by the blood pattern on the ceiling once they do the blood spatter analysis, they should be able to tell an approximate height also. but with a k bar knife, one of the things that i think may have happens is that when they were fighting, you know, when at least two of the people supposedly had defensive wounds, he could ve dropped to the knife, and when you drop a blooding knife, what does it do? it leaves a transfer platter and on the ground that might be enough to identify them. trace: i want to play the sound bite, from one of the girls, the victim s father talking about the scene, watch. they are telling us that there is so much evidence t
there s a bunch of leaves, their positions out there where someone could potentially if they were stalking one of the girls, they could sit out there and wait out there and lie in wait so to speak, so there are so many different areas for them to hone in on, but all that blood and all of that blood spatter and the sequence trace: what if all of this is a young person in his dna or their dna is not in the system, does that make all of that evidence useless? no, no, there is a brand-new thing that you recall from golden state killer called forensic genealogy where they can upload it into jed match and ancestry and 23andme and look for other family members, go bback to a grandparent or great grandparent and then work at back down. and try to find a name that might marry up with one of the guys stocking them online or shows up on one of their social media accounts. trace: only a minute left, but other friends that came in this house, the 911 call, so more people inside, is that a
population, and spokes go out like a wheel. if you re looking at the town, it s right there in the center of the town. so that cvs has probably seen these two little girls come many there looking at makeup and magazines or whatever. this guy, 50 years old, married, about 25 years based on his wife s facebook posting, one daughter, eerily, who sat for her senior picture on the bridge where the girls went missing. he is in custody in connection with the delphi murders of these two little girls, abby and liberty, ages 13 and 14. they re very carefully not saying he s charged with murder, but quoting one of the girls grandma, he said our monster we have finally found our monster. which tells me that he may very well be charged with murder. many people asking why has it taken so long, all right?
when you talk with each one of the girls, their mother s lonnie. after the trial, david had christie s protect parental rights terminated. lonnie you go on to adopt these girls. and welcome them into your heart with open arms. yeah, i mean. i always actually wanted a lot of kids. and here i get to have four more. david and lonnie say this chapter of their lives may not have been possible without pat. i think the best way that i can show thanks to patrick s to show how our family has risen far above this. from a moment in time that he had control of. i have seen the beauty of these two people. especially lonnie. she adopted those girls. good people.
