The new sketch “is from information gathered during the investigation that has come to light to give us this composite,” Sgt. Riley told RadarOnline.com. The teenagers were last heard from at about 2pm on February 13, 2017 when German posted a Snapchat photo of Williams on the bridge.
The image of the man was called a “very important" development by Sgt. Riley, according to the South Bend Tribune. “It will give people a clearer image of who we are looking for," he said. The police noted they had received over 500 new tips after the sketch was released.
Police refused to reveal details about how German and Williams were killed, but State Police Superintendent Doug Carter expressed his horror at the crime. “I’ll never be able to unsee what I saw that day,” he said.
