Delphi: Police Destroyed the Only Recording and Never Collected the .40 Cal

Delphi: Police Destroyed the Only Recording and Never Collected the .40 Cal

Author: True Crime Today May 26, 2026 Duration: 24:00


According to the defense's appellate filings, a man connected to Abby Williams admitted in a police interview to practicing pagan rituals that included animal sacrifice and human bloodletting. He told them he owned a .40 caliber firearm. Officers never collected the weapon. The Delphi Police erased the only recording of his interview. His work alibi was based on a badge swipe that officers refused to confirm with video his employer offered to share. He was marked "cleared." For years afterward, tipsters called in reporting his social media posts — images of young girls appearing deceased with sticks over their bodies. An ISP Trooper found alarming similarities to the Delphi crime scene and urged his superiors to investigate further. They refused. The suspect's associate, a self-described leader of a local pagan group, told officers he knew the murder woods "very well." That interview was never recorded. His alibi went entirely unchecked for over six years. According to the defense filings, the first suspect told his wife in 2018 that his associate killed Abby "with others" and told her to keep quiet. Neither man has been charged with any crime connected to these murders. The trial court excluded all of this from the jury. This episode walks through every ignored lead, every destroyed record, and every decision that waved these suspects through while Abby and Libby waited for someone to do the work.
