Investigators released an audio clip of the voice of a suspect in the homicides of two Delphi teenagers.
Capt. Dave Bursten with Indiana State Police played the clip during a Wednesday news conference. He said it came from the cell phone of Liberty German, who had the presence of mind to make the recording. Police said the voice is saying, "Down the hill."
Bursten played the clip multiple times during the news conference. State police later posted a version of the audio clip that was easier to understand.
