ISP honors lieutenant, master trooper for leadership in Delphi investigation
During the 2025 Indiana State Police Annual Awards Ceremony, two members of the Lafayette District were honored for their work in the Delphi double homicide case. Superintendent Anthony Scott presented a Commendation Award to Lieutenant Jerry Holeman in recognition of his leadership and Master Trooper Brian Harshman was recognized for his commitment and sustained effort throughout the multi-year investigation into the Delphi double homicide. Holeman served as a primary investigative lead in the case surrounding the murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German — an effort that spanned nearly eight years and demanded extensive coordination between law enforcement agencies at the local, state, and federal levels. His ability to manage teams, adapt to emerging developments, and remain focused under the scrutiny of national media coverage was essential in maintaining the investigation's momentum and integrity, according to a press release from the ISP. The case produced tens of thousands of tips and an immense volume of digital and physical evidence. Lt. Holeman worked tirelessly to ensure all avenues were explored while also fostering collaboration across jurisdictions. His clear-headed leadership helped guide the team through many challenges, the press release said. This commendation honors Lt. Holeman's unwavering dedication, resilience, and steady command presence, which brought credit to himself and the Indiana State Police throughout one of the most demanding investigations in the agency's history. For Harshman's valuable contributions, he has been awarded a certificate for exceptional meritorious service. Harshman worked in partnership with investigators from District 14 and the Special Investigations Division / Internet Crimes Against Children to support key aspects of the case involving the murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German. Over the course of several years, he dedicated a significant portion of his time to analyzing and documenting sensitive materials linked to the suspect, which required detailed attention and discretion. His efforts helped maintain continuity within the investigation and added critical context during the trial preparation phase. By managing and organizing important records, he ensured that investigative leads and evidentiary details were preserved and accessible for review. This recognition honors Master Trooper Harshman's enduring professionalism, his contribution to the pursuit of justice, and his role in one of the most emotionally challenging cases faced by the Indiana State Police.
