Authorities conducted a nationwide search and received over 26k tips in the first year, but with scarce evidence, the killer was never found. The Delphi murders have confounded investigators in the five years since Williams and German's bodies were found and in 2018, the head of the Indiana State Police Office, Doug Carter, told the IndyStar that he believed they were ...one piece of the puzzle away from figuring out who this individual is.... He said: ...Somebody out there knows who this person is. I don't think there's multiple pieces of the puzzle. ... I think there's one piece.

Authorities say they have uncovered evidence in the five-year-old murders of Williams and German and revealed the killer may have taken a souvenir after killing the teen girls.

The Indiana State Police did confirm there is a dive team in the area and that it is located a few miles from 28-year-old Kegan Kline's family home.

Kline was arrested in 2020 and was charged with child pornography and child exploitation in another case and has pleaded not guilty to both charges.

Carter said in a press conference: ...We know a lot about you ... today could be the day — sleep well....

Cain said: ...A lot of technology comes up in this case of devices that are being used to store child sexual abuse materials or communications with underage girls. ...And then, of course, weaponry that could have been used in the Delphi murders and any other evidence that could tie a killer to the scene or of the crime, essentially....
