DELPHI, INDIANA – While investigating the 2017 murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German, detectives with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office and the Indiana State Police have uncovered an online profile of interest named “anthony_shots.”
State police say the profile was being used from 2016 to 2017 on social media applications, including but not limited to, Snapchat and Instagram. The fictitious “anthony_shots” profile used images of a known male model and portrayed himself as being extremely wealthy and owning numerous sports cars.
Police say the man in the photos is NOT a person of interest.
“The creator of the fictitious profile used this information while communicating with juvenile females to solicit nude images, obtain their addresses, and attempt to meet them,” state police said.
“We have already identified the male in these images that were used by the anthony_shots profile,” state police said. “The male that is in the photos is not a person of interest in the investigation. Detectives are seeking information about the person who created the anthony_shots profile.”
Officials didn’t reveal any specific connections between Abigail, Liberty and the person who created the fake profile.
Investigators would like any individual that communicated with, met, or attempted to meet the “anthony_shots” profile to contact law enforcement by utilizing the tip email/phone number: [email protected] or 765-822-3535.
