The grandfather of one of two northern Indiana girls slain last month says he still believes their killer will be found.
The comments Thursday from Mike Patty are the first public statements from the families of 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams since the teens were found dead Feb. 14 in woods near Delphi. The friends had vanished the day before while hiking.
Patty says the loss of his granddaughter, Liberty, tore a hole in his family that will never heal.
