‘Dateline: A Walk Through the Woods' delves into the Delphi murders of two teens
(NBC) — 'Dateline' returns on Friday with a new 2-hour episode about the murder of two young teenage girls that made headlines around the world.
Here is a preview of Andrea Canning's report of the case known as the Delphi murders:
Two girls set out for a walk through the woods. A trail that ends here, the Monon High Bridge, a relic from a past century. Trains once used it to cross Deer Creek — more than 60 feet below.
BECKY PATTY: We saw a Snapchat photo of Abby that Libby had taken. So, we knew that they had been on the bridge.
SADIE MOUDY: What teenagers don't like thrill?
But the real danger wasn't beneath them. It was behind.
SHERIFF TONY LIGGETT: I believed he followed them across, yes.
Libby herself captured the killer on her phone.
MIKE PATTY: They had to be scared outta their minds.
All they had left in that moment was a cell phone, each other, and a split-second to act.
Watch 'Dateline: A Walk Through the Woods' Friday at 9 p.m. on NBC4.
