Abigail Williams and Liberty German went on a hike one day, just like any other teenager. Imagine how terrifying the typical day would turn into if there’s a homicide lurking around the teenagers. That’s precisely what happened to Abigail and Liberty, the murderer didn’t waste any time on the murder, and the girls’ dead bodies were found the next day.
Who is Abigail Williams?
Abigail Williams and Liberty German are two teenage friends who went hiking near the ‘Monon High Bridge, a relatively popular trail of an abandoned railroad. The girls were familiar with the tracks as they frequented the area often. This was somewhat concerning to Liberty’s grandfather, Mike Patty, who raised Liberty with his wife, Becky. He shared this concern to the People that safety concerns were stressed upon Liberty, but it, unfortunately, couldn’t reach her in the best way. Liberty posted a Snapchat of Abigail walking on the bridge alone during the hike. It seemed that everything was alright with the girls, and they were enjoying their hiking experience.
