Delphi victim's mom: ‘These girls were the most precious gifts we had’

MONTICELLO, Ind. -- (WXIN) -- Five weeks after Abby Williams and Liberty German were found murdered in Delphi, a neighboring community joined together in support of their families.

Abby's mother Anna spoke at the memorial event held in Monticello Saturday.

“These girls were the most precious gifts we had,” Anna said.

Through tears, Williams thanked the dozens of people gathered outside the White County Courthouse and the investigators working on the case.

“We will forever be grateful to the men and women who have spent countless hours to help us find justice,” she said.

Less than 15 miles away, Abby and her best friend Libby were found murdered near the Delphi trails last month. Williams opened up about what is helping their families get through each day.

“Your encouraging words, words from our churches, the cards I get every day… that say we're still praying for you,” Williams said.
