Man arrested in Colorado may be suspect in unsolved murder of Indiana teens, police say

The Indiana State Police Department said it is investigating to see if Nations could be a suspect in the Delphi double murder investigation, but it declined to comment further.

"We look at every one of them, check them out. This is no different than any of the others," he added.

"They have asked us not to speak on their case," Kirby told ABC News Wednesday. "So I'm not at liberty to elaborate on anything that's related to what happened in Indiana."

Nations is being held on a $10,000 bond. It is not clear if he has an attorney.

Abby Williams’ mother, Anna Williams, said the arrest has given her a glimmer of hope.

"Our family is hoping and praying that 'God's got this' and that today is finally the day," Abby Williams told ABC News Wednesday evening.

Abby Williams and Libby German, both eighth graders, were enjoying a day off from middle school on Feb. 13 when they disappeared on a hiking trail near their rural hometown of Delphi. Their bodies were found the next day.

Police released a composite sketch of a man they say could be connected to the the teenagers' murders in July, but they have not announced any new leads in the case since then.

The person depicted in the sketch is described as a white man with reddish brown hair, standing between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-10, and weighing 180 to 220 pounds. The hat in the sketch may not be accurate, police said, adding that the public is asked to focus on the person’s facial features.

A reward over $230,000 is available for information leading to an arrest.
