I apologize about the glitch with the internet in the middle of this livestream. IT DOES GET BETTER. If you need to fast forward to when you can hear again, please do. Travel WIFI is always rough, especially in a small town.

Thank you. My heart just dropped when you spoke about how Abby and Libby realized and said theres no path. How can anyone do this to anyone let alone children 😢

Great Coverage, Lauren. In regards to teaching children to scream and fight back: I still remember to this day my dad telling me to scream and fight if anyone ever threatened me. He said don't ever let anyone take you away, if they threaten to kill you, make them kill you there! They will most likely chicken out or if they hurt you, someone will find you and get you help. I still think of this advice if I'm out alone at night (which isn't often, if it's dark I'm home with the cats). I only go out if I'm with friends. These girls were innocents and didn't deserve this. They had their whole life ahead of them and could have done amazing things and had a huge positive impact on others.

Bridge guy is a predator who was familiar with the location, he could easily be wearing a disguise, built up boots, wig etc. The girl that said hello to bridge guy said that he had his hands in his pockets and was overdressed for the weather. Exactly what we saw in the video.
If anyone reading this is ever in a scary situation like this, sit down, link arms around each other or a fixed object, scream for help and dial your emergency services.
Never let a predator take you from where you are. Never believe a word they say. Go for the face like you’re a feral cat. Show them no mercy. We must educate people on what to do if they ever have the misfortune to be targeted by a predator.

Ever since I was a little girl, my dad always told me if anyone tried to snatch me, to gouge out the eyes, hit in the stomach or kick between the legs. It incapacitates them. A knee to the stomach saved my life once. My arms were immobilized and I remember using all my strength to draw my knee up above me. I was 21. It was terrifying. I can't imagine their fear, as young girls. I think I only came to the realization I could even fight back because I was in the position I was in long enough to desperately critically think of what I could move, how I could move it. The only thing I didn't think of was what to do if it worked. That made the difference between how the altercation ended versus how it could have ended. But all I was thinking was how to get out of this moment, unable to breathe, staring my attacker in the eyes, watching the "fireworks" across my eyes as I could feel my consciousness fading. I remember him getting frustrated, changing the angle of my neck and head with such a weighted drag against the carpeted floor that I felt my skin grate like sandpaper and my jaw popped. In that moment I knew he was intending to end my life. I wanted so much to live. I summoned every last bit of energy I had into my right leg which I realized had no weight on it. His one mistake was putting all the weight on my top half. I knew all I had to do was get my knee up. I bent my knee and inched it up between his legs which were wrapped around my torso. I felt the softness of his belly against my knee and with one whole exhausting movement, I jammed it into his gut. Immediately he released. He puked. And I didn't run. I couldn't. I finally caught my breath, and I enjoyed each breath. Relief. In that moment, my body registered that I was safe. Logically, I wasn't, but I had just survived what felt like forever but what probably wasn't more than a minute, maybe two without oxygen. I don't know how long it was. It felt like forever though. That's the one thing you don't learn about self defence--what you should do when you reach the point of exhaustion but your attacker hasn't. You expend so much energy in those moments. I won't get into what happened after I finally was able to sit up, then stand. That's not the purpose of this comment. The purpose of this comment is just to put it out in the ether that ligatures aren't always necessary to restrain someone. Sometimes our exhaustion restrains us, too. I can't imagine the terror they experienced, but I do have an idea of at least a part of it and whenever I meet other survivors, and others who didn't survive their last battles, my heart breaks. I know many of us think that fighting back is like in the movies, with the slow motion bullets and the quick thinking and parkour, but in my experience and in the experiences of others, we are more focused on surviving instead of fleeing. And all that focus on survival expends the energy we need to run. So sometimes we decide "do I endure this and run later" or "do I fight against this until I can't fight anymore". I remember every second of that night almost ten years later. I constantly go through every step and I endlessly nitpick at everything I did "wrong". The truth is, nothing can prepare you for a fight for your life unless you're trained in combat. I have no advice to give young girls except to aim for the soft spots. Hurt them. Hit them. They forfeited their bodily autonomy the moment they violated yours. You are not obligated to show anyone grace or mercy. They won't listen when you plead. They can't be reasoned with. Words can't combat physical harm. Bite. Claw. Headbutt. Knee. Make note of what you can move from the head down. Find the appendage with the most mobility. Put everything you can into that part. Don't be like me and waste time to catch your breath. You aren't safe until you are somewhere else. All objects can be replaced. Phones can be replaced. Shoes can be replaced. Clothes aren't necessary to wear when your life is in the balance. I know the instinct is to redress. Don't. You will only waste time. You will offend no one. Go to the police. Report it immediately. Do not shower. I know you will want to. And I did. And I regret it with all my soul. I was too afraid to tell. I didn't want to drag my now-husband into it. I didn't want it to loom over our relationship. But when I finally told him, his first question was "why didn't you come to me? We could've gone through it together". And that's the thing I want to tell all survivors: those who love you will go through it with you the very same way they would finish your fight for you if you didnt survive.

You are worth fighting for. You are deserving of survival. The only thing that needs to make it out of a harrowing situation is yourself. Not your clothes, belongings, car keys, phone--just you.

I guess the point of my comment is to just speak to survivors and relatives of those who didn't survive. Abby & Libby, I know you fought. You did whatever you could in those moments to survive. Even though your fight ended, there are so many who are finishing your fight. Maybe someone will read this and find something valuable in it. Maybe no one will. But there's a reason I survived, so maybe it will help someone else survive, too. Maybe it will help them continue to fight after surviving.

It was Libby who said “there’s no path” her mom said she almost fell over she hadn’t heard her voice in so long.

[PutTheShovelDown]

Sleeping outside the courthouse to bring us this coverage is so admirable. Thank you for your sacrifice, Lauren

[jeanie]

A+++ coverage. Thank you Lauren. You're so good at this!

[susanmoore]

It broke my heart that Libby was afraid enough to think she might need a video. I applaud her forethought. 💙💜💙💜

[meredythmackinnon-love]

Lauren, thank you so much for doing this for us. Thanks also to Dr John, for holding the fort at home, while you do this.
You are both appreciated so very much. ❤❤

[CourtneyPS-wb]

This is so horrible. My sisters and I were taught at a young age to never go with a stranger, even if they have a weapon. Our mom said, if they're going to kill you, they're going to have to do it right there, where they don't want to. You fight, scream, kick, run but anything to not be taken somewhere else. I hope more kids are taught that

[CosmoCookie]

Great coverage. Thank you for all your hard work covering this case.

[kimberlymarino]

Ive worked in Law enforcement for over 30 years now and I taught my children that if anyone ever tries to take you away you Fight and scream as loud as you can "I dont know you" until you can't fightor scream anymore (we would practice this when young because especially my daughter was a quiet, soft spoken person and still is.) then go limp. If you are taken from where you are your chances of living drop dramatically! If they are going to kill you make them do it where you are as it's likely around more people who's attention you will get! And make yourself as limp as a ragdoll! Moving you will be extremely hard and most will realize it's not worth it due to the attention and the work involved. I also taught my children very young that there is no reason an adult would ever ask a child for help. Help finding a lost pet etc. I would ask my children "if you needed real help would you ask a child smaller than you or someone bigger? That made sense to them. Also very young my children were told if they ever were to become lost to find a Mommy to ask for help. Sadly, it's not the safest but in my opinion it was the best choice. It never happened because they were never out of my sight. All of this was taught using age appropriate words as they grew up. Of course you dont was to terrorize your child...but a bit of fear of strangers is not a bad thing. These 2 girls did the best they could! They likely are the reasons this was even solved. I pray for them and their families. I cannot begin to imagine all they continue to go thru. Something like this does not end. Yhere is no closure. Justice? Hopefully. But not closure. Keep your children as safe as you can. There are animals pretending to be humans who will take them from you. Stay safe everyone!

[katierorke]

Those poor girls. They must have been so terrified. How horrible.

[Soprina]

How on earth do you manage to take such incredibly detailed notes, especially when you are seeing/hearing horribly disturbing evidence that would just stun a lot of people? It's almost as if we get to be in the courtroom! Well done--it's another incredibly heartbreaking case (there are so many, and many get so little publicity, unfortunately), and, so far, so confusing. I have so many questions about what/how it happened, and so far you've given the best coverage among all of the videos I've watched.

[martifoddrill]

Thank you so much! I lived near Delphi for 20 years so this case has bothered me

[Ninchi_TrueCrime]

I so very much appreciate your coverage (& especially your lack of bias!) I have been so very emotionally invested in this case since the start.
I have great admiration for your stamina! I’m in Australia, so I’ve been waking up around 3am the last few mornings to catch your lunchtime livestreams- I’m exhausted, yet I’m only losing a little bit of sleep, nothing like what you’re experiencing!!!

[RobbieJayOne]

Replay crew: Glitching clears @ 39:49 Thank you so much. You are going through a lot to get this info to us.
