'Today is not a day to celebrate,' Indiana State Police Supt. Doug Carter said, calling the arrest 'a major step' but noting the complex investigation is far from done.
One day after their bodies were found, police released images from Libby's phone showing a suspect in the case heading across a bridge and toward the teens. About a week later, according to WTHR, authorities released an audio clip from Libby's phone in which a man can be heard saying,"Down the hill."
McLeland said the probable cause and charging information related to the case have been sealed by the court and noted a public hearing will be held to determine whether they stay sealed. McLeland acknowledged it's unusual to seal these items and said he understands the frustration from the family and public, who want to know more.
As news of a possible arrest circulated last week on social media, German's sister tweeted on Friday that"today is the day."
