DELPHI, Ind. — Indiana State Police is expected to give a news conference announcing an arrest in the murders of Abby Williams and Libby German. Anna Williams, Abby's mother, confirmed the information to 13News. Police said they would give an update on the case during the news conference. Kelsi German, Libby's older sister, said the news conference would be Monday at 10 a.m. on Twitter. She ended the tweet saying, "Today is the day."

FAKE SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILE Last December cops revealed they were investigating the fake “anthony_shots” social media profile created by Kegan Kline in connection with the case. The 27-year-old, who is currently in jail awaiting trial over child sex abuse allegations, has not been charged over the Delphi murders and denies any involvement. But transcripts of a police interview with Kline showed that the catfish account he created was in touch with Libby the day she and Abby were killed. And according to the transcripts, whoever was using the “anthony_shots” account was supposed to meet Libby and Abby on the trails...

In this interview with The New American magazine Senior Editor Alex Newman, the internationally renowned Dr. Peter McCullough–the doctor with the most citations in the National Library of Medicine on these topics–warned that the COVID shot was already causing thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of hospitalizations that have been recorded. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, he warned. In normal circumstances, 50 deaths reported to VAERS would result in a drug being taken off market immediately. In the case of the COVID shots, thousands have already been reported, and yet the mass vaccination programs continue to...

First of all thank you to all our FR veterans for your sacrifice and service to our nation. My twin grandsons have enlisted, one just finished basic and is at Sheppard AFB for training. The other will graduate next week from basic and head to Goodfellow AFB for training. They have 3 grandpas who are Air Force veterans. I’m searching for a poem or essay that I had when my son was stationed in Kosovo. Not sure where I heard it or read it but it rang so true to this mother of a soldier deployed. It started out “I...

It's always everyone else requesting prayer. Tonight it is me. My 42 yo daughter is having surgery to repair a genetic defect in her sternum. It is buckling and putting pressure on her heart, lung, stomach, esophagus, etc, etc. It is called pectus excavatum. She is in Cleveland Clinic, 300 miles from her children, family & support system. Her DH is with her. They will be cutting her sternum and pulling it back into place and adding titanium plates to hold it there. The standard for doing surgery is a 3.25 measurement. Hers measures 7.2.

Jordan Buckley, Koontz's partner early Sunday morning, the fallen law enforcement officer was brought home to rest.

Leo Tolstoy famously wrote, “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” The problem is that I’ve yet to meet a family that fits into Tolstoy’s tidy categories of “happy” and “unhappy.” The reality is far messier. Put tears and laughter, love and betrayal, fights and hugs into a blender and out will come a family. Even in homes where the walls are decorated with portraits of grinning moms and dads and kids, there’s usually a closet door that’s kept shut. Last week we were reminded of that, when the media flung open that...

My son, an Iraq Medal of Valor, was one of 3 MOV recipients from the Indiana Nat'l Guard to receive an invitation to the Commander-in-Chief inaugural Ball. Without interjecting any politics, he was ecstatic. They sent him orders to report to purchase dress blues. We laid out the 547 bucks to buy the blues, he didn't tell me that didn't include the hat because he was trying to keep the total down. The Sgt that drove him had bought the hat for him without his knowing until later. Thurs morn they called him & said no airline or room reservations...

My son is getting married on Silver Beach,in St Joe, Michigan at the end of the month. I have hotel reservations at the Silver Beach Hotel but have been offered a camper if I could locate a camp space. I tried going to the Mich State Park site yesterday, wow, slow, no helpful maps, waste of my time. If someone could recommend a place to park withing 10-20 miles I would be eternally grateful. The camper solves my need for attempting to provide part of a rehearsal dinner, so I'm hoping something is available. But I do know that the...

His name was Marine Lance Cpl. Justin Wilson - although I did not know it when his life brushed mine on March 25 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Lance Cpl. Wilson was not there in the terminal that afternoon; at age 24 and newly married, he had been killed in Afghanistan on March 22 by a roadside bomb. A coincidence of overbooked flights led our lives to intersect for perhaps an hour, one I will never forget. I did not meet his family that day at the airport, either, although we were there together that evening at the gate,...

Updated Wednesday, May 26 at 1:15 PM HOUSTON -- A Houston veteran who has been in a wheelchair since 1983, took his first steps in 27 years Tuesday night. "No easy steps. Only hard steps," Harry Shaw said of his life after the Grenada invasion. It is a conflict most have forgotten, but it changed Shaw's life forever. “I was the most serious out of all of the injured in Grenada," Shaw said. He lost both legs. Shaw accepted his fate of life in a wheelchair with courage and grace. "I'm a paratrooper. That's just the way I am. The...

For the last week, a group led by Holocaust survivor Eva Kor — founder of Terre Haute’s CANDLES Holocaust museum — has gathered in Poland. The group has toured concentration camps and on Wednesday witnessed the ceremony commemorating the 65th anniversary of the liberation of the infamous Auschwitz camp by Russian soldiers. Listen closely enough here and you can almost make out the footsteps of the hundreds of thousands who perished here. Eva Kor survived until Russian troops liberated the Auschwitz and Birkenau camps on January 27, 1945. But each time she returns to this place – a strip of...

There are currently 142,000 troops in Iraq, but some Hoosier troops are back on American soil. Stout Field was packed with hundreds of families Tuesday for a homecoming celebration honoring 170 soldiers. But these soldiers are also missing two of their own: Sgt. Gary Henry and Spec. Jonathan Menke. Henry, who was from Indianapolis, and Menke, of Madison, died in Baghdad last August after debris from an improvised explosive device detonation on an overpass fell onto their vehicle. The Castor family knows their son Gary is a hero. "He was quite an individual, touched lives that we'll never know," said...
