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.

Too much time spent on pointless topics

Perhaps more time and information is needed to present a good book on this case. A very large portions of this book are spent on irrelevant content. Not being familiar to the podcast, I was hoping to know more about the relevant facts to this case.

Great

Nic Edwards is half of the “Nic and The Captain” that make up the True Crime Garage podcast. If you like that podcast, you’ll like this book. I appreciated Nic’s journey through the “what ifs” of the case. Most of this book was written before the 2022 arrest of the accused. The Delphi murders case is one that has stayed with me since day one in 2017. I’m glad they caught someone and hope the family gets more answers soon. Recommended for true crime readers.

Finished quickly

Loved how the story was presented. Captured me quickly and I had to finish. When I wasn’t able to listen I find myself thinking about the case.

A Great Read and Tribute!

I loved this book just as I love the podcast. Found myself completely enthralled and finished it quickly. Glad you could include the update with the arrest of Richard Allen. Hope these girls, families, and community get justice!

Fascinating and very well researched

Extremely sad story, told with respect, and well researched. Incredible for a first book. Narrator gave a great performance. Hopefully, for the next book, it would be perfect if the Author would narrate. I strongly recommend!

You Hit it out of the Park Colonel!!

As a fan of True Crime & the True Crime Garage Podcast, I was excited to read this book. When I saw it was available on Audible I ordered it right away!
I was not disappointed, I love the way it is presented… as if I am sitting down with Nic and listening to him tell me the story. I learnt more than I knew as well as about a few other cases.
Thank you so much for such a Great Book! I will be buying it so I have a hard copy to read and add to my Growing True Crime Library.
Cheers Nic… you hit this out of the Park!
Well done
