He's walking on the bridge towards the girls with his head down. It looks like he has a brown hat, blue jacket and blue jeans. The photo is grainy and the individual appears to be a Caucasian male with his hands in his pockets. On February 15th, 2017, Indiana State Police sent out a still image of an individual that was reportedly seen on the Monon High Bridge Trail near the area the girls were murdered.
Police didn't disclose details about the discovery right away, but it was public knowledge that the girls were discovered on a large plot of land belonging to a man named Ronald Logan.
The Delphi Fire Chief reported the discovery as “not good”, and indicated that the girl's bodies had been located. Around 12:45PM, officials with the fire department followed a set of footprints to a location near Deer Creek. Shortly after noon, the Delphi Fire Department made a discovery. They brought in specialized dive teams and k-9 units as well. Search crews had gathered near the Monon High Bridge around 10AM and were planning to expand in separate directions to cover a big amount of land during the daylight hours. The bridge is roughly 60 feet tall and is the second highest bridge in Indiana and was built in the 1890's, Due to it's age, there are actually many gaps in the bridge which makes it difficult to walk quickly because you need to keep your eyes on the bridge to avoid tripping. The authorities searched the area, but didn't feel that there was any foul play, but that soon changed because the girls' bodies were discovered around noon the next day about ½ mile east of the abandoned Monon High Bridge and 50 feet from the north bank of Deer Creek. The family tried searching for the girls before contacting the police. The girls were reported missing to police at 5:30 PM after their parents were unable to locate them at the agreed upon pick-up location. The trail that they were on, runs along an old, abandoned railroad bridge, which overlooks the body of water named Deer Creek. At 2:07 PM Libby posted a photo on Snapchat of Abby walking the bridge.
They were dropped off around 1:35PM by Libby's older sister and were going to be picked up around 3:15PM.
