A news conference is tentatively scheduled for Monday at 10 am. Local authorities had investigated further suspects in the case since the discovery of the girls' bodies, who were only minors when they were killed, but nothing has materialized.
A crucial piece of information found on German's phone has been helpful to their investigations throughout. The proof is a widely shared video in which a man of medium build can be seen trailing the girls while sporting blue trousers, a blue jacket, and a hat pulled down over his eyes. Guys, down the hill, the man can be heard saying in the video's audio. Their murderer is thought to be the man on the video.
