No one can possibly be treating him as bad as he did the girls.

[angelmission]

I feel no ounce of pity for him. He is reaping a tiny bit of what he has sowed. Any wife that can stand by a husband who slaughtered two young innocent girls, is not a very good person, herself.

[BlueJWay]

It makes me so sad thinking about those little girls and how scared they must have been. Probably went out to have a good time that day and thought they were safe because they were together. I remember doing things like this with my best friend when I was a teen and we never thought about what could have happened. May they get the justice they deserve.

[georgiaf]

Wow who would’ve thought that killing children might end you up in a situation where you aren’t being treated the best by the people around you that’s so crazy

[babayaga]

I was an officer at a super max prison for a couple of years. The lifers that are in and out of prison all the time, are well accustomed to prison life, in fact most people like that flourish in prison. But when you put someone behind bars, especially at his age, that has never experienced anything but complete freedom, it can completely break them, mentally and physically. I've seen it. It's very common for someone like him to commit suicide in prison within the first year or two, especially given his charges, he's living with the knowledge that most inmates would kill him if they had the chance.

[eleanorsvenson]

This psychologist is absolutely full of it. He doesn’t feel guilt. He’s in a terrible place because of his horrendous actions.

[pamela]

He confessed, he has admitted the crime, he's eating again, sleeping, he confessed, it's off his chest.

[MegaHerrera]

It's disgusting that he's complaining about being in jail after committing such an evil act.

[AmandaGemini]

15:15 I would take an inmate that is linked to child molestation charges crying about ill treatment with a grain of salt. Jail is not a place for kid diddlers and kid killers to feel safe. I think kid diddlers and kid killers should be harassed until they end themselves. I have no empathy for them and never will.

[marieh]

Those little girls recording him just saved the lives of other kids now that he’s caught ! Lil heroes they are

[catbravo]

All I want to say on this horrible case is thank goodness this monster didn't know that he was recorded on the phone and didn't take it. It was a very brave thing she did and thankfully it was preserved as evidence at the scene.

[debcross]

I lived 5 miles from Delphi for 35 years and have always wondered what kind of a man could do this ?? To think it was someone with a wife and daughter is shocking but so glad he's in custody. Everyone from Lafayette to Monticello and beyond are breathing a sigh of relief. My heart goes out to Libby and Abby's family and friends ❤

[yazmer-]

I keep saying, we do not WANT HIM TO DETERIORATE IN PRISON! He is trying to somehow kill himself in prison before facing justice for Abbey and Libby and I'm honestly very worried that he will succeed. I want that bastard to be optimistic and healthy when he faces a jury for what he did, because when he is sentenced, I want him to be in prison suffering for as long as possible. Evil piece of ****.

[larsvonrinpoche]

The older girl solved the murder. Police did not do much. And Libby apparently really fought hard.

[MsTygame]

The people who are caught are so manipulative that they present themselves to be frail when they get to trial. Woe is me.

[dianekay]

I’m sorry, but if that was my husband, I would have recognized him immediately. She know what clothes he has. I would have turned him in also, because I don’t think I could sleep every night next to a man that I know murdered two teenage girls.

[peteystrumpet]

The more that gets uncovered in this case the more I feel like law enforcement made a real mess of the investigation. Libby’s ingenuity and courage has eventually solved this case. Prayers for closure for both families

[susanr]

Why doesn’t anyone ever mention the fact that the girls went there for the purpose of meeting someone they were communicating with online who they thought was some “hot” dude. I feel the whole story needs to be told to send a message to others, especially teenagers that it is a dangerous thing to do. I feel it is irresponsible not to tell the whole story and it is NOT “victim shaming”, it’s the truth

[laurenecarter]

He's not eating pizza, beer, and cake don't feel sorry for him.

[debcastle]

Did he think he was going to club med? I don’t feel sorry for him. He’s a murderer.
