Indiana authorities say the man is the suspect in the killings of two teenage girls, Liberty German and Abigail Williams. He was photographed on the trail system around the time German, age 14, and Williams, age 13, were dropped off Monday Feb. 13, 2017, to go hiking. The photo is from victim Abby German's cell phone that was recovered at the scene of the crime. (Indiana State Police via AP)
