DELPHI, Ind. (WTHR) - New memorials mark the trail close to where Abby Williams and Libby German were found murdered three months ago this weekend.

Outside Delphi, gates now close off the trail while safety repairs are made to the Monon High Bridge.

Police continue the search for a suspect - his voice captured on the victim's cell phone, giving the order: "Down the hill."

The families continue the search too.

"Just keep praying that we find this, find whoever did this. These girls deserve justice," says Carrie Timmons, Libby German's mother.

Timmons joined hundreds at Delphi High School football stadium for a celebration of life for the two girls Saturday afternoon.

Live music, an auction and more to raise money for a new park and softball complex to be named for Abby and Libby.

This is the season they should be out on the the ball diamond with their families cheering them on.

"Those things were taken away from us, you know what I mean. No longer part of our daily lives to be involved in softball like it was and those are the things that hurt," said Mike Patty, Libby's grandfather. "There are some rough times still. It hurts, it hurts bad."

But events like these - the community support - help keep the families going.

"It helps the sadness a little bit, the sadness of a Mother's Day weekend," Libby's mom told us. "I do have three beautiful daughters still here with me but it's going to be very hard tomorrow. I miss her, a lot,"

With a quarter million dollar reward still out there, the family is still confident someone will come forward with the key clue that solves this case.

"We have a killer on the streets running around our state, our nation. We need to get that. And I need people's help to do that. Somebody knows. Please call it in." Patty said.

"If you know something please, please call the tip line. And thank you, I thank everyone," Libby's mom said.

That tipline number is 1-844-459-5786.
