I don't need to have all of those pieces to send a tip, but they do
ass to include as many details as possible. Last week, the end
in a state police sent out the request
or additional information that you heard,
the top of the show this time
They are asking for any one that has
information and regard
to an online name, a user profile on social media accounts going back
the name of anthony underscore shots and, with this case being so highly publicized. This is really the first big information since a press conference in two thousand and eighteen
We have a situation captain where we have a public that is, has a strong
desire to help in some way help this community try to heal, bring some justice too.
Situation for both of our victims, libyan abbey and their families, and so we have
public debt feels like it. Starved for information give us some information. Let us help us to help. You is kind
the old expression there right here what's interest,
with the new information that comes out december, seventh of the sheer just last week,
as we are told at the early part of that request by I s, p indiana state police that, while in
to gaining the murders of Abigail Williams and liberty. German detectives with the carol
county sheriffs department and the indiana state police uncovered and online profile named anthony, underscore shots. This proof
was being used from two thousand and sixteen to two thousand and seventeen on social media applications, including, but not limited to snap chat and instigate.
And then later they say, detectives are seeking information about the person who created the anthony
four shots profile? Investigators,
any individual who communicated with met
or attempted to meet the anthony shots profile or to contact law enforcement by utilizing that
a male and
a phone number that is used in the delphi double
messiah case the abbey and Libby tipp at sea, a ceo s, age, aref, doc.
and then the number is seven hundred and sixty five, eight hundred and twenty two three thousand five hundred and thirty five
phone tipp. The really interesting parts here to the general public are going to be that the start of that request.
Ended by the end of it right so,
bookends we have, while in
estimating the double homicide break this
information that we came into their of course go
a vague and unclear of how they came into this information or how it's it's
solved in there,
homicide investigation and then
the other end they're saying you know what we need more information about anthony shots and when you send us that information here is
vehicle. Here is the avenue to giving us that information and that's going to be through the same ways that we are requesting tips and
double homicide which makes you believe that their connected, but also your ears, perk up when he here,
online profile not limited to stamp chat and instagram, because the girls were on the bridge, they took pictures of snapchat. That's one way
that their friends of family were able to locate them
case has had many titles ibm
the bees case
five murders the snapchat martyrs yet
and unfortunately, this these double homicides took place in february
We have two thousand and seventeen and we covered, I believe it was early may of two thousand, and seventeen was the first time we discussed it here in the garage, and at that time I mean ye ye,
Back in your look in you go okay, well, the information we have today. It doesn't,
make sense
There is a lot of blanks to fill in theirs allotted dots to be connected.
We don't know what exactly is connected to the case and what is not connected to libyan abbeys case rain, so you,
here and go well. This situation seems a little confusing and we don't seem to have a whole lot of information. Well guess what happened the delorean and go back to may of two thousand and seventeen and see what kind of information you had and we had to do a show on the case because we were both
really absorbed by
thing. We were really eyeball
deepen this thing for weeks and we just said luck. We understand, there's not a lot here now
lot to chew on, but also maybe we can help sign some light and get some information come in, and so there was a lot of speculation offered up by us and we pulled in speculation that we were seeing on the internet and chat rooms and read it
everywhere else, webs loose wherever we could find
speculation and some of it you know,
probably more on point than others. But again
at the time we didn't know much and we still
no a whole lot, so we won't know
was spot on till they get. This thing solved
last four years this case has probably been investigated more times by arm chair detectives and web sluiced than any other case
it's all over the place. On podcast I mean this. I was,
little surprised to see the number of people and podcast they hit this update with the quickness last week, right
and so here in the garage we had our case that we were talking about last week in this was really
earth shattering stuff to us, because I mean
cut a stunning? It stops you in your tracks, legal, ok,
This seems to be something new, but I dont know really what to make of it
I'm a little confused and a little foggy on how its tied in or even if it is tied into libyan abbeys case
you're. Like you said, it's the same tipp line, but there
coming out in saying that this person has a suspect
and the murders of abbe Libby. It seems that that's what they're implying but they're not come out indirectly saying that and then, with the news coverage of this case, being
wrapped up not just by podcast by people
youtube. Creators
youtube and the media in general, and then you have local news coming out just the next day
say well, we know who anthony shots is, or at least we know who created the cow, and they knew that back in two thousand seventeen,
I am glad that you brought up the snapchat killer. Whatever that moniker was, there was
floating around in two thousand and seventeen, because
I've been watching a lot, a news clips listenin to a lot of different people. Reading a lot of stuff over the course of the last five.
Per hyper into it for the last seventy two hours rain, but incredible amount of stuff
that you can find on the internet and elsewhere late last week,
thing that I got a little annoyed with was seeing and reading multiple
sources saying you know, we
when we were looking
This last year, when we were talking to the locals a couple years ago, we
appearing these rumours of theirs
kind of connection to the internet or connection to social media, snapchat referenced and
We didn't feel that we should discuss at or we didn't feel that it was
propria or we were asked not to mention that or didn.
If it was credible rain? I just
don't really understand why anybody felt like they were to be sitting on that information. This those were rumours that were going on within weeks of the
was, I not only is this case connected to snapchat, because the girls were on snapchat, taking photos of themselves at them,
ridge, but he had a individual that came forward. This claim
but he knew one of the girls was talking to order
individual online rights
I'll tell you what the
situation is yes,
see that that could be plausible that that that might even be likely is difficult to say. I feel like
with this new information that comes out of it.
Suggested that, far more likely than we once thought, or
this is a whole different, a whole differ,
monster into itself in regards,
the tipps. You know where requesting tipp information from the publican in kudos.
Public and
armchairs, loosen internet sluice out there
has been no shortage of
formation that has been presented to us p and the care county, sheriff's office and the fbi,
how much of it is actually good information pro
but not very
should all would be my,
speculation, you can't you know
can't smack somebody on the on the hand for trying to help, and so this
the situation that we find ourselves in once again, we are asked to give more help and, if
anybody knows anything, let's reported, and if anybody has any information specifically about anthony shots,
kind of online profile, social media profile, anthony shots, they
on to hear from you now one thing:
I think, as a little bit of a amiss, step
here, in this investigation and amiss step in the request for information from the public that I think that they
really kind of left out.
In the two thousand and seventeen request for information. I want to see
by giving them some praise here, because I think it's
mart invaluable to
tell the public
and remind them that we are looking
for specific information, right name,
of the individual, the reporting, if you have a date of birth,
even if you can just tell us a year that he was born or approximate age, physical description,
where the person may live or no location, especially at the time?
time around the murders, vehicle information
specific reason why you are giving the tipp right. Why do you suspect this person,
and what would be their motivation for committing such a heinous crime? Their connection
the area, delphi indiana, that's not you know what twenty nine hundred people live there approximately. What would be this?
persons connection to the moaning high bridge or the trail system? More delphi itself or even carol county will want
Things I took notice of right away is that they had Jeremy peers asking for this information. Sergeant
appears. Why did they have to blow
b or carter ass, this information to law enforcement agents that any befallen this case could attend.
By those guys yeah you're right captain? We have superintendent of the indian state police, douglas carter and
the carol county sheriff
pleasant, behoove kind of be come the face of this
investigation or the faces.
Of this investigation. I think I have that answer, but I want to kind to finish what does not?
about in regard to this tip in in where I think there was a bit of a misstep, because my I want to give
praise, because I think giving the public what
I consider to be reminding them. We want specific information here and almost
the public a template. This is what we're looking for. Can you fill out as much of this template as possible when submitting your tip? This will be most helpful to us. The thing that I think they missed here was what
the f b, I was telling us in the earth
stages of the investigation. Because, remember I know it was your feeling was my feeling- and I think it was the feeling of every one in delphi and across this greatest of nations, that we thought that an arrest was coming really quickly
when this case broke
and we had the fbi up front and centre telling us the public.
Do you know somebody there
is behaving differently today than they
behaving on february, twelfth or february thirteenth of two thousand and seventeen has this part,
and change have is their personality different? Are they angry or sad or suicidal? Are they not?
speaking to any one. I have they developed a drink,
Issue have wars, eradication, appearance change,
appearance and the one I think
that I think is the most important thing that the FBI was asking us was we want
to hear from you
You know somebody that was superb
to be somewhere on february thirteenth and didn't show up ray
they call off work. Maybe they had a doctor's appointment that they missed or may
They told you that they were going to the dentist, but later you found out, they never did or never even had an appointment. Maybe
I told you they were going out of town for work was,
so many that you knew that left abruptly on the fourteenth or the fifteenth of February
That's one thing that I think is is it needs
he thrown out there as a reminder to the public, and I think they should
at that to their little template that they have given us now? I know that
I'm saying that and were discussing this case in its almost five years later. So who knows Bob
hold on a second there, also not telling us that this guy is even connected to the delphi murders. Could you add
to what their already turn us last week? I think one of the things that they did, what
was a good thing, even though media the next day said hey, we we know who this
or at least who we think created this account, I thought
then say did was we're looking for anybody who who has had contact with this profile.
And did they try to meet up with you? Do you know any because it could be more
people that use that profile right
But to answer your first question here we have sheriff tobe lesson be told the carol county comment.
on tuesday that he would not deviate from the press release information. This is the request from the indian
They police, he said
The reason the press release came from the indiana state police too,
Your question widen come from toe blessing bait and the sheriffs apartment. He says it's simply
because that the agency has the most media resources available in the state of Indiana. Tumblr
be denied that the case is now in Indiana state police case. He said
continues to be a multi agency case in carol county. He said the
information requested in the press release could be
information that would help to potential
we move forward with the investigation and peace
printing libyan abbeys case right in regard to sergeant jerk.
Peers, delivering this message to the public. I think that
Of its pretty simple, you know we have the words from toe bless him be to give his response or his answer to white income come from him right, but the india
state police is always kind, have been the the focal point right.
Doug carter has always kind of bin the the face
voice that you think
when you think of law enforcement being involved in this case
so as well.
Jeremy peers being the one to deliver that information may look
his title he's the public information officer for
the lafayette post, while he
as some training with the media. I made delivered the message very clearly and look at how the case was handled early on in the very early stages,
information that was coming out or the the person fielding. The questions was
urgent, Kim riley before we
started seeing Doug carter all the time.
And sergeant Kim riley. His title was public information officer. So it's,
she's. Coming from the what is
likely the most appropriate person to delay
for the information one thing
is a little tricky is that it's coming from the lafayette post right, so
it's coming from that specific posts. They have post all over the state of of indiana. They were heard of
any of them. I guess, but I thought
Sergeant, Jeremy peers did a great job on his clear
concise delivery of
the information that we needed to know the date. They believe,
but we need to know and asking and requesting
for information and return, but this makes it
we hear a lot more confusing of a case because again they them
The statement were looking for people or
keen for ebay that had contact with this
from media profile
information on this individual the next day. The
the estonia, but we know the individual is well
It makes you question: why didn't they d come out and say we know that this guy created their cow. We know that klein keegan klein crew
the cow. We know that he use the count
but we need more information about him or maybe
other individuals that uses do account
Ok, so you might be getting ahead of some of the people here. So, let's
fill them in a little bit. What we have here is a day. A late release came out tuesday,
of last week stated that lafayette court
documents obtained by

as being the one to break this end of the case, but that's
another argument for another day. Review

cetacean: child exploitation, possession of child pornography, child exploitation, child,
education, possession of child pornography, synthetic identity, deception and obstruction of justice,
one thing I want to make sure that I address before we move on to far here. Captain I get caught

like I'm annoyed
just want to make sure that I'm kind of clearing,
the way for our discussion as we have it, and

contacted all the time and in this is a healthy reminder. I think this is a healthy reminder that words do matter, and people get concern and say: nick. Could you
please stop saying child pornography, because it implies that the child
is willingly participating in whatever is depicted in those
images or where
video or what have you we, you
that terminology here in the garage, because, as you just heard, that is the legal terminology that this man
We can call him that will be charged with. Yet we could com a ship bag
so, for the sake of
being the show moving along. We use that terminology and weed I will.
we point out that I feel like the gender
Understanding should be added
its understood by the law. A child doesn't
have the ability to legally consent to whatever was depicted in those images or those videos
We ve decided as a society that that's not appropriate, ended.
That is illegal. In that child is probably doing something that they do not want to participate in that they are being forced to do it. We ve decided that
they are too young to mentally and emotionally consent. To any of that, so I dont think that
anybody here in the garage, bali,
these children are.
Agreeing to do whatever that they are forced to do
but again it just the terminology that used in the
the legal realm, if you will, and so for four
things moving along will continue to use that that terminology you had said why,
Doug carter and
he's kind of become the super cop. In the delphi case,
he's the one it
obviously very emotional and very emotionally invested in this case,
it seems obvious to me, I wonder, captain if
that was either decided, specifically,
to make sure that the whole world then get thrown into a tale spin. We,
I cannot say we cannot sit here and say if we and when I say we I mean the whole the publican hole. Is the power
over reacting to this request for information. We-
I know that until they solve the delphi case, it could be
we are, in fact over reacting
and maybe I s- p- was fearful of
over reaction by the public and so
chose, not to put Doug carter's face in view
on this request for the information as far as what they are requesting,
can your very smart
pointing out. It's a little convoluted right, captain the it's.
Infusing, what they are requesting from us, because it seems like while they already knew who was behind the anthony
score shots profile, or at least who created
least, who created it and who was using it, for
already deeds, but yet there asked
thus for information about the creator about the profile itself. I think what
trysting there. What's really interesting to me, there is did they.
They have not had to say that this guy is a suspect. There isn't a suspect in the delphi case they
haven't had to tell us. Yes, we knew who was doing this until presented with that information and confronted with that information there,
simply saying
they're, leaving the door open right? We
information about this profile, what it was being used for, who was using it and in
what who they were interacting with and why
not necessarily saying
we want to know who Keegan Anthony klein was interacting with their leave,
the door open to being a possibility. Maybe other people were using this
profile or a similar profile. Yeah in the last few days have been doing a lot
research from the dark web in this seems like a very common
then, where some ache
rates social media account, gets all the
pictures and information and then cells that to you, an army has
contact with women or girls and
has already got them to start sending videos or pictures
other things too? We need to keep in mind. Is they
they being law enforcement are probably
very concerned that they don't know every avenue and outlet that clause
used this profile for re, so
You want to keep the door open, they need information, they are not going to limit they're, not going to say, hey wearily. We only want this or that of the other thing that they want the floodgates to come open with
information to them about this
Anthony shots profile and your
exactly right. Captain you are
exactly right?

I agree, but no charges in the delphic murders Keegan Klein was book. Do the miami county jail in august, nineteen, twenty twenty, so he's been here for well over a year now you do have to come up with twenty six thousand five hundred dollars in cash to get out on bail before his trial. So again, to be clear, there is nothing from police that connects abbey and libya to that man, but the only thing that is clear investigators really want to hear more from anyone whose communicated with that account. We have a full time line of events here, backgrounds on the killings,
Remember those sketches that police have released as well all tonight on w th our dot com. So we started to touch on minsk europe than before the break there, and we mention this keegan Anthony, klein, individual and he's been directly tied to the anthony
their score shots profile or italy,
one of those profiles it was being used, we know that he's not been directly connected to the
libyan abbe murder.
Investigation. Other then,
have I s p telling us that, during the course of that investigation, they then latch
on to this end
any shots thing which led them to
Keegan Anthony Klein. You wanted
talk about a
an emotional rollercoaster here right,
What was your initial reaction on
Monday night. When we hear
police are looking for information and its some
I'll tied to the delphi case, but first I thought
here's, some new information that we have heard and if he could neck this with what there were stating and two thousand nineteen if these are connected, this could be some.
And then, when you find out that, once you figure out there
Multiple family members of the victims talk to press
and say look were hopeful. This is something and kelsey which
pretty reserved in the information that she shares online was posted. This all
where social media really made me feel like. Ok, now, maybe was taken a step in the right direction
kelsey is Libya's older sister and your right. She doesn't have liked this sort of knee jerk reaction to any time. There's some creep. That's
rested in Indiana or some of
fortunate murder takes place and they have made an arrest there. She
and do that you're right. She she kind of
back and lets the information take direct her
action, I believe some, I believe the family members are in close contact with law enforcement and I think that's another way,
again, that's me, assuming that their share
information because,
It may be, they know more about it from their contact with law enforcement so that very much
made me feel like we're heading in the right direction, but in that something that I wondered about as well captain, because what I did was I had to go back. I felt camp
to go back and watch the April twenty second, two thousand and nineteen press release
with the emotional doug carter speech, followed up with the new
catch in the additional audio, the addition of guys added to down the hill and in that
press release at the press conference
Yes, he is telling us hale, please
reach out media don't reach out to the families of victims here, because we gave
this new information before we are delivering it to you right now right, but we only gave it to him minutes.
No or hours they just heard that this morning,
And now this is still new information to them as well. So I really wonder that same thing. If that same scenario took place in this situation, where hey
we're going to send out a request from the public for information about anthony shots, about
anthony shots, social media,
profile and
gonna come out later today. I wondered if
reach out in advance so that they wouldn't be shocked when they saw it, and I'm guessing that that that may have happened here again
I would assume so and you're right. It's it's a weird situation, because that money
dude. I went to bed and I was like I think this is
and I dont want to to
too much weight to the
nation that is coming out, but I still try
the process it, but
very least and I'll be awfully selfish hearing go. You know at this gave me some hope out because
we started to feel I was starting to become doom and gloom here in this case, man like we said since sudan-
Nineteen there hasn't been a lack of information and really all they stated, and I think,
a few months back where they stated, we have a blackout took towards media,
we're not going to sharing information. So when this comes out, you go all there.
To something and what my sword
were tommy
currently was. This is not the last of this information that come out there'd be more in
making the following week, then, the next day
When the media's you
they already know who this individual is
and he's already been arrested.
to me that was beyond its deflating
punch in the gut
fighting, because I went to bed Monday night gone all right well here we have something this. This is something that they are going to.
Receive a wealth of
formation from the public about in this
going to create new leads? It's gonna give him knew a new breadcrumb trail, probably multiple breadcrumb trails and could lead to bring
sky and then yeah the
news on tuesday saying we fight
Well, they already know who this guy is. One thing:
a kind of one or don't you kind of wonder? Is there? Is there
chance that the india
state police puts out
information with the idea.
They don't know. I mean it,
say we don't know who who is responsible for this. They said
throw it out of the public. We need information about anthony, underscore shots profiles,
Finally, the open ended and
then maybe do they leak per
sleep leak to somebody cause. I have a hard time believing that this sum
station just
stumbled on it or new the right place. To look. I get I guess
It wouldn't be that that terribly difficult
if you started to really review what they were doing in the very early processes of therein
negation the martyr investigation or their knowledge of the words that they were, that they were.
filing and in carrying out yeah the knowledge again good journalist has
extensive knowledge in case files and for them to have also
contacts to I mean they may have some me at the courthouse,
on a you know, this is connected to a case or this. This announcement is connected to this case. That sorry ongoing, I mean look, one were
holding this individual for quite a long time before a trial takes place,
My fate was, if you connected with the information we are now on, and you have to then assume that it somehow connected that this klein character is connected to doubt
by then to me it's
so either aid to a crime, a to b crime or aid to like z, crime, and what I mean by that is. We know
klein was views in these profiles is our connection to the profile.
Wind klein was using it to the victims.
some people say yes,
There is some information on line about that. Our share these pictures with you in a second to get here,
opinions on them, but the other thought
was well. Maybe
he had access to the profiles he was setting them up. He was using them
and somebody like possibly his father then took these and
to try to lore abbe
Libby to the park. The
thanks to your captain is the situation where it may be
unknown individual was used
similar profile. There was either said
or or the creative end of it was inspired by
and already established profile that seem to be working
anthony shots and when I say working, it means what he said:
to do get nude photos of under age, girls and videos, and and that sort of thing it was working because it was it was getting
what he set out to achieve
times these guys are sharing image,
is in an files, electronic files,
with one another in trading them, some of them almost collecting them, and was this
thing that he could have inspired someone else to do, or somebody saw this thing working and thought you know what I'm going to copy cat that yeah that's
a thing to is sometimes you you see it
profile. We ve seen this on him tvs catfish, where some eight sets
but profile these shots.
And then somebody else sees that profile and says well, look here
This information, I can take this
and set up my own one because work
and then I saw and documents is, I've seen anthony underscore shots.
And I have also seen anthony underscore shot without the ass
Oh, no, that is just a typo or ever there was
What war accounts
so then we have again some aid for that took this profile
this idea and used it themselves.
wives and then that would have nothing to do with Klein. But, like I said this,
deep dived that I've been doing last week into the dark web. It seemed like this is something that goes on
a lot more than you would expect, and the
they do. It is a couple ways I set up this account. I start getting
these conversations goin with different
groups of under age, girls or under age Boys- and then
if you access so now, you can have conversations with them. You could try to meet them up if you wanted to- or I just
you pay for access, and now the account is yours so that
winds up a whole web of who it could be
It seems to me, like I said
big cover in some cases. I know littleton nothing about this world
but what their stating in law. The research have done as well guys that do this stuff, guys that
they're into the dark web guys
and to using the internet,
in various ways.
O connor, they all kind of find each other its cause
Like you, you know the gains at play, fantasy football they saw,
our friends with a lot of other guys play panic, see football dislike music,
a passion hobby, whatever lot of my friends are musicians so same thing. These scumbags
they find each other. Yet it could be very could be just as simple as day
can see online people interacting with one another and go you not. That could be it
profile, and that is definitely an under age person this
indicating with them. It's just
a bomb maker right, noble,
is born into this world, knowing how to make a bomb, but what you do
who is, if you want to take on
dirty deed as a hobby. While you learn and you home that skill in you learn how to make better bombs, more sophisticated bombs, more undetectable bombs and so on and so forth and
you you learn that skill and this,
Can be the same situation where
anthony underscore shots, and it might be annoying to hear me keep saying underscore. But as you point
you ve seen anthony underscore shot at times,
I have also seen. Anthony shots,
with no underscore an
kind of annoyingly keeps saying that, because that is specifically what the india
State police is asking for so
you may have a situation here where you take any.
take any manufacturing.
Situation or creative situation. Some people
are better at certain task in certain have different abilities than others right, so could you
have a situation where somebody is really good at setting up creating a fictitious account, but
another individual I'll another. Unfortunately, like minded individual, might
be very good at setting them up, but is really good at
doing the communication part, the back and forth of. Perhaps
walking and tricky
these people into getting what they want from that go yeah just because you post a couple pictures of
cars on mine and discuss not your cars, but
cars that your claiming are yours, houses that
you claim are yours or pictures that you claim
are of. You
that doesn't mean that you gonna be out to carry on a conversation, but I would also say in this day and age, which I I do believe is pretty sad as we got in and too
situation where it doesn't
a lot of commerce.
asian or a lot of getting to know somebody before people start exchange in these types of picture,
Now what I sent you through your phone,
which I don't know. If you see this, this is a post that libby posted
and was light by this
the underscore shots account now
screen shot. I have next to
anthony underscore shots account normal
I would say, follow, but this
says requested, so I'm guessing who ever got this in
nation and posted on mine requested to fall.
anthony, underscore shots on mine, and I think
is that monday, when the information came out, some of my
horses were saying that if you went and found these
hounds online, whether routes through, I believe, is mainly through
instagram, where the number
of followers- was changing- sometimes increasing some trap times decree
seen almost meaning that summit.
Using their cow either to add p board delete people, but there was deafening people.
at once, they heard this information. They try to find these accounts and then try to request to follow them. So they could get more. Information from
the profile and one of the people that reach out to me almost immediately- and this was first thing
tuesday m after this, is, while we're still waiting we ve just
The police are looking for information on anthony shots. We don't have any of the keegan anthony klein information at this time when I, when I first get this message, but re came
melissa Lee the host of the victim ology podcast, who had
delphi discussion with us here in epoch.
Three. Ninety five on true crime garage delphi murders discussion was the title of that episode.
And she reached out and said: hey what do you make of this, this new information and what the police are requesting and we traded some,
of our reactions in in shared our reactions in some of our thoughts there. But she point
Now to me- and yes, I did receive your your your picture here
captain and I'm looking at it, I'm I'm not the best to make heads or tails and of these sort of things for social media.
But she passed along something to me and one thing that she has done really well in her room.
search of the delphi case over the years is she's very good it s. Collecting information
in saving certain,
things along the way, so one thing that she saved
a this is a facebook post
from from a facebook ruben,
two thousand and seventeen the militia says it's pretty
strange, it's on par with what detectives are asking for now see below, and she sent me a picture of it, and it says
liberty, german and abigail Williams case discussion
a person on their own
leave their name out of it. On february twenty
six of two thousand and seventeen posted to the group
ok, I'm weirded out. This is probably
the sign that I'm paying too much attention to this case, but I went
liberties instagram yesterday and noticed that a rule,
striking lee attractive teenager had liked a couple of her post. I back searched
his profile and it was of an old photo of a male model, not a real person, as he was claiming to be
but he claimed to have just move to lafayette his profile,
private and atypical fishing profile. But
he only had fifty followers today,
likes from him are gone and either
his name is changed or his or sorry. He deleted his profile
and this poster goes on to say, I'm sure the fbi has already read all of
social networking in our actions, but I just really wish I'd saved his profile
aim or emailed it to the sheriff, so that
was really interesting to see. That was something that she collected back from two thousand and seventeen. The other thing I would like to discuss- and I don't see it
the people discussing it on line in the discussion
and all that stuff
is when law enforcement came out and said, hey look. We
information of this proverb,
posted a love of pictures of this basically fake id said it's out at some
they know it's unknown male model profile that somebody was taking the the picture.
From that profile than using them for the anthony underscore shots account. But what
was also in arresting and that group
are they shared now. I dont know if there does share
every single picture that was on that profile or has been linked to that profile. But there's again a handful of
This male model some where he has a shirt on. Sometimes he has a shirt off and then there's other pictures, some being of sports cars, and then one picture
bein money now. The reason why brain up these pictures is because I don't find it
that they share them, but I think me
they share them khazar like is there something were missing from these pictures, meaning I can have a fake profile,
and, let's say my fate profile.
I'm using
ac slater as my pictures, but if I
a picture of my stack of money. I can still posts that if I take a picture of a real
words card that I'm seen in real life, I can post that.
So just because the profile as fake doesn't mean all the pictures are fake
right- and I wonder if that's why I mean the stag
is you know it's a large sum of money, but that doesn't mean
it's impossible that it's not coming directly from klein or
Whoever choosing this account
the other interesting, then, is there's a lot of pictures.
Klein's fathers, facebook, fancy sports cars.
So I think that's, maybe one of the reasons why they posted those, because some of those pictures actually
could be real.
and then maybe they're wandering,
does somebody that knows Klein or knows people in his circle have they seen these pictures used on us
social media profiles is again, I think
it's open, ended and that's how you want to leave this thing if you're, really, okay, so it's kind of its kind of funny
n n
please here the sarcasm in my voice, but what
no is klein, was using a fake profile to be able
to connect with under age girls, so he was cat fishing them
now. We have the indiana state police who are openly fishing for information about klein. An this proof
this online profile and so yeah
you could certainly have a situation where somebody is using real actual photos. I think what you're doing here, though, captain is
got a return to the idea of every time. You're asking the public for information. You want it to be very
and ended. You don't want to close
any doors, because you don't want somebody out there that might hold the key the key
information that you're looking for to go, you know what well it's nothing I
I need a report. This is it. This is nothing it's a waste of their time. It's a waste, my time you're, throwing,
all the pictures that were associated with this profile because
hoping to jog someone's memory right. We are told by
I, the indiana state police that they know that the profile was being used from two thousand. Sixteen to two thousand seventeen will add up. That's a kick in the got right
there that time frame, because we know the girls were killed in two thousand and seventeen and so
what they are trying to do with these images. That day,
klute in there and
request for information.
you're, trying to jog someone's memory that maybe maybe
They don't remember the anthony shots, name
but maybe one of these pictures right will
awaken that memory or
go, or maybe maybe
did have some interaction with this person, maybe
I did or or so and so showed me a picture. You know a friend
girlfriend of mine, showed me a picture of somebody. She was chatting with online and maybe
he's gonna forget, but now,
image. I can talk to her and say: what do you still have? Any of that? Can we confer
if it was that profile or not. The other thing
It's really interesting to me here is just
The way that the of the events have
of unfolded, and we can get into you know that
frame of every thing later, but
thing. That's really interesting to me is just given the fact that we know the profile which used.
Two thousand and sixteen in two thousand and set in seventeen with the sole
best of communicating with under age, girls pedophile right so.
These under age girls, some of them may be adults by this time in two thousand and twenty one day, my
be less afraid or
less concerned about coming forward there,
their adults. Now they may feel more comfortable saint. You know, we know that there are.
Fortunately, rape as one of the most under reported crimes in
this country and every other country out there and allow
But that is because of the the shame in the embarrassment and and all of that, that comes with that type of of crime and
so? Here it's it's, it's not the same. Obviously, but it's you know, some
he's been tricked and somebody and
each girl, unfortunately probably did something or sent something that they really regret, ran that they would be afraid,
to come forward with when their thirteen fourteen
Fifteen years old because of
mom and dad might get upset, or this could embarrass
my family, or this could ruin my chances of getting it to a good college. I mean you
can go on and on and on the reasons why not to come forward, but now that somebody has matured a little bit and there a little bit older, maybe they'll feel a little more comfortable coming

please no that this, regardless of what they tell us this does.

at the end of the day klein is tied to it or not whether
at the end of the day, the anthony underscore shots profiles tied to it or not. It does
have direct implications because we ve set it on the show
how'd. He shows that we don't captain five hundred and thirty. Some so we
probably set it on the show. Five hundred and thirty. Sometimes in these.
investigations we
obviously, are always looking for the person who committed the crime,
but along the way, it is also very helpful to be checking often crossing often axing out names of people that did not commit the crime
