On February 13, 2017, the teenagers, both aged 14, vanished off the Monon High Bridge. Their remains were discovered on February 14, 2017, at midday, after being reported missing, reported Metro. Since the high-profile murder case has been unresolved for more than five years, a ton of online rumors have been spread regarding who the murderer is. By looking through the images, videos, and audio files discovered on Libby German's phone, police were able to piece together some minor pieces of information. Investigators think that on a day when they were off from school, they had intended to meet a man, reported Fox 59.
