It's absolutely incredible that Abby and Libbey had the wherewithal to capture a video of their killer and his voice too!! May their souls rest in perfect peace.

[JustMomHere]

My heart breaks for Abby’s Mom. She is so alone with this horrific pain. Abby was her ONLY child and she raised her alone, having had her when she, herself, was so young. I wish I could do something to ease her pain and bring her comfort and peace. It is SO unfair, SO awful. And you can see what a loving mother she is.

I truly wish the public and media stop pressuring law enforcement for information. If they say more by accident and it jeopardizes the case, then the same people and media will criticize them for it.

Evil always hides in plain sight. All we need to do is pay attention. May justice finally come to Libby and Abby and their families. 🙏

Good work by the Indiana State Police...thank you all for your hard work. 👏

[Readzboox]

[cwatson]

Let justice be swift and without mercy for those who prey on the innocent or weak

*I love the look in the sheriff's eyes and tone of his voice when he said, "We'll find you!!" You can tell he seriously meant that!*

[darlamiller]

I have followed this since it happened. These girls caught my heart. They look so young and innocent. I am so happy it's supposedly solved. I hope your somewhere that has the death penalty. I'm in Canada so UNFORTUNATELY we don't have it anywhere. Rip Abby and Libby.

[lorenagonza]

I thought his day will never come, This family needs justice.

[AlexJones-vqdm]

These girls knew something was wrong and thanks to them taking that picture and recording they in the end got justice.

[MK-hzbn]

Carter is a bad ass. For having something this horrendous to deal with he did it very smart and classy. I pray for all the LE

[jessiejlee]

I pray that these families get justice and some comfort.
I love how passionate Doug Carter is about getting justice for the girls.

13:41 I bet everyone who worked this case felt this way as the years passed, even the detectives who encouraged him. Everyone likely kept those feelings to themselves, and put on a brave face for the team to keep morale high. That’s so admirable.

Re: " Flora arson case"- the reward of $5, 000 needs to be increased to prompt someone to come forward and give information about who started the fire. 4 children died! Whoever did it will tell someone.... someday.

[johnschultz]

We have not can not and will not stop until all those involved are punished to the fullest extent of the law we will get justice for these girls

[neverforgotten]

Justice is coming. R I P abby and Libby

[karenk]

Thank Goodness the girls were sophisticated enough to take footage of the monster who too their lives if it had not been for this footage we’d likely still be looking for the perp. RIP Abby & Libby it’s terrible what’s happens to you two.😢
