[Music] [Applause] foreign remains Behind Bars accused of kidnapping and attacking a nine-year-old
girl found chained in his home he's also being investigated in connection with the murder of two eighth grade girls
four years ago we spoke with some of his family members who told us flat out he's
evil he's a monster exactly he is an absolute evil person he's talking about his own brother James Chadwell who was
accused of imprisoning a nine-year-old girl in his basement and is under investigation in the unsolved murders of
teens Libby German and Abby Williams in 2017. do I think that he's capable of that kind of crime absolutely absolutely
he's shown numerous times not only to his friends but his family as well that he has that kind of evil streak to him
chadwell's stepfather also fears the 42 year old ex-con may be the mysterious figure caught on Libby's cell phone
approaching them on an abandoned train trestle in Delphi India Indiana is HE capable probably
you know and should they let him back out on the street not ever throw the key away this time chadwell's brother Ashley
says James tried to drown him when he was four years old he is absolutely capable of killing someone Chadwell has
been in and out of jail since he was a teenager I also just really don't like people I have dogs his body is covered
in tattoos one across his chest says rebellious but this is the tattoo that's drawing a lot of attention today some
see an uncanny resemblance to slain Libby German look at them side by side his brother says that's a relatively new
tattoo I really don't think that he had that tattoo when he got out of prison this is a virtual reality reconstruction
of the moment Libya and Abby were approached by the suspected killer it was made by crime door an app which
recreates the scenes of notorious crimes there's Libby bravely capturing the stranger on her cell phone own now could
investigators finally be closing in on an arrest he should be locked up and never let loose again because he's a
monster [Music] [Applause] from the website fbi.gov under seeking information in the
double homicide case that is known as the Delphi murders it says on February 13 2017 Liberty German age 14 in Abigail
Williams age 13 were hiking on the Delphi Historic Trail near the Monon High Bridge just east of Delphi in
Carroll County Indiana Liberty and Abigail were reported missing to police after their parents were unable to
locate them at the pickup location volunteers subsequently discovered the girl's bodies in the woods east of
Delphi and Carroll County Indiana on the next day February 14 2017. investigators have distributed a
photo of a person observed on the Delphi Historic Trail the photo appears to depict a white male wearing blue jeans a
blue coat or jacket and a hoodie during the course of the investigation evidence
has led investigators to believe that the aforementioned person is suspected of being involved in the murders of
Liberty and Abigail the person depicted in the composite sketch is described as a white male between five foot six
inches tall and five foot ten inches tall weighing 180 to 220 pounds with reddish brown hair his eye color is
unknown the suspect is believed to be between 18 and 40 years old but may appear younger you've asked for it
people want to know about this James Brian Chadwell II the man who is most recently come into the question into the
fold of possibly being the Delphi killer the bridge guy he was arrested on April
19th for abducting a nine-year-old girl and assaulting her inside his home well and yes just comes on our radar but it
seems to me that his name has at least appeared on the radar of the Delphi murder case and as said this man was
arrested but it was late last week mid to late last week where the news started coming out that Carroll County might be
looking at this guy as a possible connection to the Delphi homicides and man I gotta tell you Captain my inbox
was filling up rapidly yes with people who wanted to know more about James Brian Chadwell II wanted us to talk
about him or demand it it's time once again for a Delphi update yes probably the most messages we've ever received as
far as breaking news so we had to take the case that we we already had a research and ready to go and put that on
the back burner to discuss this one so I'm sure there's going to be a few items that maybe we haven't uncovered because
we haven't had that long to dive into this individual but what look we can figure out a couple things from what you
just read five six to five ten does does James fit into that category yes five eight does
he fit into that weight range I would say by looking at his pictures possibly so now we have two criterias met reddish
brown hair I think his hair could pass for that category it's definitely in the brown category
I'll say that so now we got three of the criterias he lives or was living within
15 miles of the murders when he was arrested in April of this year the question then Captain becomes
where would he have been living in 2017 there's some information that we discussed in the last episode in that we
found when looking into this guy that he potentially was living in or at least listed in address
somewhere that he was in Peru right Indiana at the time of the year of 2017. now I'm showing it's about a 37 mile
jaunt from Peru to Delphi the interesting thing here and I don't think that this has to do exactly with this
James Chadwell character but I remember from our previous coverage we were talking about some of the search
warrants that were issued from Carroll County within days of them finding the two girls and I remember us discussing
there was a search warrant that was issued for someone or a residence at least in Peru Indiana within days again
I don't think it is directly tied to this James Chadwell guy but but a weird thing there that yeah one of my sources
says it says it is that this is directly connected to him again though you hear these this misinformation all the time
and there's a couple people that talk to law enforcement in the Delphi murders case early on I do not want to State
their names but you know who you are but supposedly there is a connection between
this Chadwell and these individuals that knew Abby and Libby and and that came forward with information that they gave
to law enforcement is that possibly why Chadwell was on their radar again a lot of the stuff that we're going to bring
up doesn't mean anything it could mean everything or could mean nothing like James Brian Chadwell seems to be
interested in hiking or Bridges and so is it possible that he was somebody that would visit
Delphi to go to their park to hike around we also know that he has trespassing on
his background so is is he somebody that doesn't necessarily stay on the trails but Rome's wherever he wants to
again they were murdered in a part of the park that was not open to the public so a lot of different things but when
they talk to chadwell's family about the arrest and the possible connection to Delphi
both his father and his brothers said look we think he's capable of murder and I think that's pretty
telling not only coming from the father but also the brother but then you get again
conflicting reports because he has a lot of tattoos and some of these tattoos on
his arm they look of like almost like crying children they have no eyes they just so that
there's no there's no eyes in the in the tattoo drawings and there's one where it's a tattoo of a
girl and it looks like she's either her her makeup's running or possibly that she's bleeding from her eyes
and a lot of people think that this looks like Libby from the Delphi murders yeah we talked about uh
on the previous show people doing side by sides of bridge guy and potential suspects and how that's gotten really
blown way out of proportion to an uncomfortable level but I've seen side by sides of Libby German and this tattoo
on this on this uh despicable human being's arm and people saying hey is this a tattoo of Libby German and one
person even posts someone explained this tattoo please someone that knows this man who knows Chadwell please tell us
who the girl on his arm is if not Libby German now well a couple things one I'll
post that picture on our Instagram look anytime we cover a case we post a lot of
pictures from the case on our Instagram or Facebook and you can find those on any of those platforms at True Crime
garage when I look at it again it doesn't look unlike Libby German to me but it also looks so
very plain and nondescript that I don't know that we could say that it is her the tattoo to me almost looks
like a a character of some type right more rather than uh you know hey I know um the love of my life is Julie could
you could you put a picture of you know draw a picture of Julie on my arm well this guy is you know he's a douche and
look so he has this these weird tattoos why would you put that on your body look
I like tattoos I think people should have the freedom to put whatever they want you know draw a bunch of penises if
you want and put it as tattoos all over your body I don't care but this becomes a little suspicious now the claims I
heard was he had this tattoo going all the way back to 2016. obviously would that be of Liberty I would say no if
that was the case but when they talked to his brother about this tattoo his recollection is no he did not have
that to until later until after he got out of jail the last time it looks like to me something from some form of
entertainment I can't put my I can't really put my finger on it I I feel like it's something from a
cartoon from a comic book or a cartoon or a movie Something of of that uh nature it's still just odd
again well it doesn't help his case could mean anything could mean nothing I mean he's just
this guy's scum yeah and we read through the charges that it sounds like he's going to be charged with in the April
19th incident so yeah he I mean he is scum and regardless of how long that list of charges are some of those
charges are going to stick we know that thank God there was a Survivor the person he intended to hurt harm in
whatever manner that was whatever his intent in fact was she survived she will be able to testify against him she will
be able to stand up in a court of law and point across the room and say that is the man that abducted me that's the
man that attacked me in in her opinion um which which is should be 100 validated it she says he was going to
kill me yeah in my personal opinion that's not even gonna happen they're not going to
go to trial I mean he's the fact that he has um the added habitual uh charges a habitual offender charges that he'll
be facing I think you were saying something like 5 to 20 years extra they're not they're not going to go to
trial they'll make they'll make a deal which is interesting well maybe I mean depending on what his representation is
if you got a strong case against a guy and you think you got a slam dunk there's no need to deal with this dude
you drag his ass into court and you you charge him with all the charges you think you gotta slam dunk with and you
put him away for as long as you possibly can no I understand that but because of
the habitual offender charges that ramp up the amount of years they can decide to make a deal so they don't have
to put this nine-year-old through a trial and I think that's what they'll do I think that's the responsible thing to do
because because what I'm saying is they have that Ace in their back pocket oh by
the way we're charging you with these five or six counts but on top of that we can get you another 20 years and we'll
put this girl on the stand and we'll get the 20 years extra or we can just not have her be on
the stand and we just won't throw we'll just we won't put the icing on the cake we won't throw on another 20 years but
but he's looking at life in prison pretty much no matter what um I don't think so I mean it could be I
think what I read was 25 20 to 25 years but again this news is all coming out rapid and and pretty fast you see I saw
a higher um but yeah who knows I mean and and so there's all these again back to the
tattoo some people are saying he got in 2016 his brother's saying I don't think so I think that it's a lot newer uh it
doesn't matter I I think I'd say yes but again is it kind of a just a generic idea of a
tattoo so I don't know how much is there I put more weight to the fact that this guy is
interested spending time Outdoors and going to different parks and he has several pictures of him
on a bridge that's just not something that you're gonna find on everybody's Facebook page
I also think that this guy doesn't have a lot of friends so I just don't think there's going to
be a lot of sources you can go to to be like do you know when this guy got this tattoo do you know where he was at on
this date do you I just don't think there's going to be enough uh sources to go on because I think this
guy is such a piece of [ __ ] that he's probably basically alienated himself from from
most people in his life well and he's had some time in and out of jail in and out of prison in his adult life which
um hopefully got in the way of his uh social life yeah and hopefully stop some of his
criminal activity but um let's see what else is a good match for Chadwell well you talked about
some of the physical descriptions how they match up a potentially match up or fall within the realm of and we didn't
get to his age so you know they say they're looking for someone 18 to 40 might look younger he certainly Falls in
that range he's 42 years old and was arrested on April 19th of this year but we got to keep in mind this is four
years after the fact of the Delphi double murder so he would have been 38 at the time and I do believe my my
humble goat opinion is that he does look a little younger than his than his actual uh listed age here so he I agree
it's a big window they gave us to work with Captain but he he does definitely fall within inside that window and
you and I think does look a little younger than his his uh date of birth yeah it's a
it's a tricky one because there's so much and maybe it's just because there's been so many and I couldn't name them
all and I couldn't tell you how many times in the last four years that also I'm getting notifications on Twitter
some on Facebook then next thing you know text messages emails what about this guy for Delphine there
hasn't been one that I that has really hit my gut that said this is it this is today's the day right like they say hmm
and I think this one was interesting though because when I first started getting
bombarded with the emails and the messages on social media my gut feeling was this isn't the guy and then you
start just going through little pieces of evidence just what we know on the surface level
and you go well this none of this stuff is ruling this individual out now he might have some airtight alibi
but this guy is such a horrible individual there's nobody out there that is going
to be this guy's Alibi unless they're a legit Alibi well and as you pointed out you know his own father and brother both
now on record saying yeah we think he's probably capable of something like the the Delphi double homicides of course we
we should remind everybody that obviously they're saying this after the fact after they know that he abducted
this nine-year-old girl locked her up in his basement and in her words was trying
to kill her right so of course they're factoring that in you really wonder if you could hop in the time machine and
and go back to 2018 uh 2017 in in April or March or or June of that year and asked these Two Fellas
the same question if they would in fact have the same answer now you said friends or or what kind of people could
we talk to there is somebody and I'm going to leave out there whatever they're posting this under because well
I don't have to tell you my reasons but I'm going to leave that that out there is a post that I saw on Reddit that says
some guy on Facebook says he used to work with him being James Brian Chadwell and again he seems
to be going under Brian Chadwell on most Social Circles used to work with Chadwell in Kokomo Indiana around the
time of the Delphi murders and says that they suspected him of being involved and this person claims that he
tried to call the tip line many times but it was through the FBI and their comments was it was a joke look I can't
speak to what this person's experience was right we don't know if this is all factual information we can say this
if you're if you're calling in a tip to your local authorities on on any case it
doesn't have to be Delphi but any case but if it were Delphi the FBI whomever you decide to call don't exp this
doesn't mean that they they jump into the car call all available units and Sirens are blazing and they go you know
100 mile an hour down the road to this individual's house that you call in the tip right they're going to to their
their work behind the scenes do their due diligence they're probably going to check you out too to make sure that
you're not some nut job or some some person that's trying to throw this individual under the bus for reasons
unknown for reasons that have nothing to do with that particular case at all but
that's why again I go my gut is saying I don't know about this guy a couple things kind of line up
but then you sent me a message that just kind of hit me and I stopped and I'm not
the most religious man or spiritual man and I all I said was I just said I hope this is it
oh yeah you know for the family I I hope my gut is wrong about this guy but the more that you talk about him and the
more you look into them the more your gut is kind of being quiet about it and that's why I believe
like you said tips or whatever this individual this numbnuts was on a list maybe a big list of people but then his
name pops up in the the news and now all law enforcement around Delphi is going hey now now this guy now
all the the sirens are gone now it's all hands on deck to figure out if this creep
is responsible for two murders here's the thing that I often wonder about too especially when we talk about somebody
like this Chadwell character I have to remind everyone and remind myself in the process and this is
something that we've talked about here on about this case specifically multiple times we know the outcome
of what went down that day near the Monon High Bridge we do not know what the intent of the perpetrator was
we do not know what the goal would have been if you will of bridge guy could it have been to abduct could it
have been to move them to another area was it in fact to kill someone anyone or targeted individual or individuals there
that day near the bridge or near the park we don't know that we won't know that until this guy is in handcuffs
and tried and convicted but with Chadwell what I would really like to know we got
so many people covering it we're trying to cover it ourselves here today I want to know
when I and I will I'm hoping this thing goes to trial because if so I will be tuning in if if able to do so if not
I'll be reading the new Snippets that are coming out and I'm with ucapt and I think if it
does go to trial it's going to be pretty quick and clean it won't take a long time to convict this guy I hope this guy
folds I think if they put enough pressure on him this idiot likes to talk I want to know yeah we've seen some of
his social stuff he's not the uh Brightest Bulb out there but anyway I want to know more
about this lock on the basement door because it's described as like a chain type lock in some of the news outlets
that we've seen and I understand that depending on where you live and depending on the structure that you live
in there are reasons to have such a lock on your basement door but the overwhelming majority of the time
there is not there is very little if any reason at all to even have a lock on your basement door let alone one that
locks from the upstairs keeping whatever it is downstairs locked up right and what I'm getting at is look a lot of
these dudes there are crimes of opportunity they see a potential victim they see someone
that's vulnerable and they take this opportunity that presented itself to them to this monster
and they seize the moment and they capture that person and they do whatever it is that they do or what they wanted
to do but here I have to believe my suspicion is 100 almost 100 captain this crime of opportunity of tricking
this girl inside to pet the dogs when did that lock and why did that lock why was it put on that door
if it wasn't there when this Yahoo moved in he put it on there with the purpose of
what he did on April 19th with putting someone confining someone in that space [Music]
that is a different level of sadistic that is a different level of evil in my mind
someone who's making preparations and waiting for that opportunity to present itself
and when it does the monster knows I've been preparing for this I'm ready I can get away with this I can win I can
get the result that I wanted I can carry out those sick sadistic fantasies that I've been thinking about
[Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] all right we are back cheers please we
want to hear from you on Instagram Facebook Twitter does anybody have does any of
our listeners out there have any information that they can share with us that we can share with law enforcement
to help qualify or disqualify and look look it's not lost on us that everything's lost on us well
actually you're right most things are lost on us hell we've been locked up in a garage for five years yeah but it's
not somebody's let us out this is uh speculation the reason why you're so curious about this chain being on the
doors because we we have one keeping us we thought it was smart to put one on the outside but we now we can't get out
and so we understand this is a lot of speculation what does him posting that hey I've slept under a bridge for five
days ten days whatever he said hey I'm I'm out camping hey out enjoying the outdoors with the nice bonfire oh he's
had he's got this tattoo you know people go are these tattoos of of girls crying
on his arms and you know there's a hot debate over did he have these tattoos in 2016 before
the Delphi murders did he did he not have him until after the fact there seems to be people posting stuff that
that would argue that either way I think he could be Bridge guy in the tattoo have nothing to do with that case at all
with uh with that murder at all no no I agree and I I think here here's where I'm at with old Chadwell
is one I think we should light his face on fire and put it out with the shovel a couple times
I mean that wouldn't be killing him um and just see if he'd start answering our questions after that
but since we're not allowed to do that because that's illegal in this country where I'm at with him is I haven't found
a no yet height hair color weight proximity a lot of different things there's no
no yet as far as to throw him off the list I mean if you came back and said well he's
six eight I go okay we'll throw him off the list right but there's nothing that's sticking out
to me I don't know if there's anything sticking out to you well no there's nothing sticking out as a no for me and
there's nothing you know that says a 100 yes as well again he's just a agree the newest guy
in a growing list of suspects and you know what and for for those that hate speculation
whatever that's fine I get it because there is a lot of bad speculation out there in a lot of cases and a lot in
this Delphi case as well but all of these people that have ended up on this suspect list and again it is a suspect
list that's been compiled by the public in the press and the media not so much law enforcement other than law
enforcement has with every one of these guys said yes this is an individual we are aware of yes this is an individual
that we are looking at a link between our case and what this guy has done but every one of these people deserves to be
on the Delphi suspect list it's a it's a list of [ __ ] okay of [ __ ] people uh
yeah it's just frustrating and I hope um I was kind of hoping that maybe after the weekend because you know the
rest happened but last Monday so I was hoping hey in seven days maybe we'd know a little bit more or maybe he
would start talking because again he seems to be a person that doesn't mind talking but my other
issue with him being a talker is I think a lot of the stuff that he posts on social media is complete
horseshit where I think he says all this stuff about you know I mean he talks constantly about wanting a real woman
and a real woman's over the age of 30. okay so you're saying you want a real woman over the age of 30 but you're
going to rape a nine-year-old you know his actions don't line up at all with some of his words and we talk about
speculation Captain I I do want to point out some look again we don't know the answers to what went down that day in
Delphi we won't until this thing is solved and someone is convicted but I've seen some silliness there's
always been some silliness with some really out there kind of wild theories and Delphi I'm always very off put when
somebody is recommending that somebody that looks like Bridge Guy this is this could be the guy because he looks like
him but oh he lives in California and he's lived there for the last 20 years never even been to Indiana couldn't even
find it on a map yeah but one one of the new silly things that are coming out and
this is all Chadwell related is that some people are speculating that bridge guy is is holding a puppy or
multiple puppies under the jacket under the blue coat I've even seen it suggested that that's why they took a
video of this guy rather than calling 9-1-1 look again we don't know the answers but
that seems like a an interesting thought in theory to have well look I mean we've
always questioned DNA but I would say that if you're an avid pit bull lover and a pit bull owner
guess what you'd normally have on your person you have Pitbull hair so would they be able to find any kind of
dog hair at the scene of the crime they might have that evidence that would be almost
as good as having TNA any kind of domesticated animal uh hairs at the scene would be
interesting to know of but I want to go through this one post here that I found on Reddit there's a bunch of activity
about Chadwell on Reddit as well as web sleuths and all kinds of give the poster
credit all kinds of websites out there yes I will this this poster is you in shit's creek
uh and I thought this was was a lot shit's creek I thought this was a brilliant post here uh it says why pois
Persons of Interest like Chadwell are viable and it goes on to say I think a lot of people are hung up on
the idea of bridge guy being some well thought out serial killer that always acts on the same Mo in every crime they
commit at its core we are likely dealing with someone who carries out sadistic impulsive behavior and the outcome of
each incident differs based on unforeseen variables the only definite things we know about
the Delphi crime is that it ended in a double homicide and was committed by someone that accompanies a pixelated
video slash photo and distorted audio everything else regarding this crime is speculation since law enforcement has
kept all other details close to the chest even my comment not me but uh shit's creek comment even my comment about BG
Bridge guy Behavior being impulsive is speculation because there is no concrete public evidence that this individual
premeditated it or acted on impulse and that is precisely why any Persons of Interest that at bare minimum targets
younger kids in either an abduction scenario or attempted murder skyrockets to the top of the list
a person of interest doesn't need to commit a crime in the woods use a hatchet knife or ax as rumored have it
happen during the daytime victim exactly 13 or 14 years of age two victims etc etc a profile can be substantially
broader than that because we don't know the facts of the crime scene and the motive behind it it's entirely plausible
that bridge guy sole intention was abduction and sexual assault and the situation in Delphi drastically morphed
and got out of hand resulting in Murder with immediate remorse with no sexual assault occurring it's also entirely
plausible that bridge guy's sole intention was murder it's that ambiguity that makes suspects
like Chadwell viable he lives in the area visually isn't a far cry from the sketch and has shown to commit sadistic
acts towards kids you can't discredit a person of interest because their recent victim was nine years old versus Abby
and Libby being 14. a child to someone in their 40s could easily be 8 to 15 years old we just don't know I am hoping
it is him for the sake of justice but if it isn't law enforcement work continues
just remember when dealing with mentally unstable and Psychopathic individuals it
isn't always cookie cutter and I think that's good I think that's a good reminder for people out there that
saying it is Chadwell or it isn't Chadwell right we don't know and we're we're here to speculate it on it because
we've been told to the email was blowing up the inbox was blowing up and we had people saying look did you see what's
happening with Delphi there's movement in the case we've had people say well we just don't want to always cover cases
that are cold or cases that are solved we want to we want to talk about stuff that's current as
well so when these breaking news happen and they're big we want to put the work in
and I think like you said I mean if you just go down the laundry list hype can match weight can match hair
color can match location can match um age age can match ugliness ugliness can match creepy guy
and and then again then I think you start getting into weirder ones if you want to start talking about the tattoos
and you know whether or not this individual likes going to Bridges and stuff like that I think those are on the
outside of things but once you get past five or six you go okay well this is definitely somebody that they're going
to look into but I I think uh if it is him we'll know probably within a week because there'll be either extra charges
or some statement from police I hope they just don't go cold on it because I don't think that's fair to the
public especially the public that has been so adamant on getting as many resources as they can to the FBI to
Indiana State Police and and others involved in this case correct me if my memory is wrong here Captain but
my general off the cuff kind of off the rip thinking is that Daniel Nations is really the only one the the man that was
a sexual offender in Indiana and apprehended in Colorado for weird bizarre behavior
he's the only one that I recall them not saying that they cleared but I think they had some remark of like well we're
moving on from Daniel Nations yeah I want to say that uh Carter said something to the effect of
he's not somebody we're interested in at this time right and out of the suspects
that we listed that are the publicly known ones he and my memory is the only one that they they had any kind of
statement that could be pointing to that he's not our guy that we've somewhat cleared him yeah but I think he's the
only one that they've ever came forward and say we're looking into Nations as a person of interest where other people
have have had to ask the question about a specific person before right they mentioned the name so you go from
Nations to this and what really has drawn me out again something we don't know is the medius calling him a suspect
or or they get in that term from law enforcement and if they're getting that term from law enforcement I
think there's probably a handful of other items about this dickweed that we just aren't privy to it sounds to me and
I'm just going off of the the words and and the the what what words were used in
the communications back and forth between law enforcement and the media it almost looks like simultaneously captain
that the the media suspected Chadwell and as soon as they reached out to law enforcement they're saying yeah this is
somebody that we've been made aware of and we're looking at so almost simultaneously he may have come on the
radar of both at the same time or at least he's moved up the priority list very quickly
very recently with this arrest on a April 19th but I think the shits Creek poster
yeah is a very intelligent post I think it's an intelligent post and I think it brings up you know some other questions
and some other thoughts you know when we talk about we talked about how is Bridge
guy a serial killer and and his post very very intelligently points out that we don't know what the intentions were
of bridge guy that day right did did he kill as uh just because he had to or felt he had to on that day
we don't know but if he was was it revenge or right and if it were a serial killer type and that's you know one
thing that I know a little more about than the average Joe out there we've seen these types
yeah they they have an ideal victim type but it doesn't have to be their ideal victim type right we've seen that time
and time again Bundy killed a young girl most of his other victims were roughly College age girls a lot of them happen
to have brown hair so did he have a type yes is he willing to step outside of that to fill fulfill these urges these
sadistic horrible urges that he has yes yeah most of them are that's what you're
saying we saw that with BTK we've seen it time and time again with several of these serial killers now would he stop
can he stop because that was a question that we posed earlier if in fact it's always been the the overwhelming
majority's belief that bridge guy is either a Serial offender serial killer who is who has committed these crimes
before Delphi or was just starting off and was going to commit them after Delphi so would he
stop can he stop and I think that's an interesting question because when we looked and profiled somebody like the
still unsolved Zodiac Killer we observed a lot of things that suggested maybe after the Paul Stein
murder that he did in fact stop and if he did the most likely reason that he stopped
was because he almost got caught he was almost identified Bridge guy was almost caught almost identified
hell he may have been interviewed by police he may have been interviewed by police
on more than one occasion but when you commit a double homicide and then you see your picture on the TV
days later and then a couple days after that you hear your voice on the TV that's powerful stuff
so would he stop could he stop if in fact he was a Serial offender [Music] [Applause]

also we have Kelsey German who is Libby's older sister she was in fact the one that dropped the girls off that day
near the Monon High Bridge she recently had a tweet that was in regards to the arrest and suspicion that now surrounds
James Brian Chadwell II and she said that there's a resemblance okay there was a resemblance with d n c e p e t b
and several others obviously listing some other public media suspects you can see these people in a simple Google
search of the girl she says they all did bad things but they weren't our bad guy
imagine if every time someone sent me a picture or a name of a person I got my hopes up thinking that could be him I'd
still be sitting here brokenhearted but with no hope left and even more devastated she goes on to say please no

to the reward fund to find the poor perpetrator of the Delphi double homicides from 2017 an anonymous donor
contributed 100 000 bringing the total in the reward fund to 325 000 to turn in Bridge guy to make this
