Indiana State Police Conclude Colorado Visit In Delphi Murder Tip Investigation

DELPHI, IN – Indiana State Police reports two of their detectives have returned from Colorado after traveling to investigate a recent tip in the Delphi double-murders case. ISP said they've followed up on thousands of tips related to the February 2017 Delphi murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German, with help from Carroll County Sheriff’s Department, the FBI and many other police agencies. ISP said every tip they've received in regards to this double-homicide case has been and will continue to be investigated, including one in particular about a person arrested in El Paso County, Colorado, identified as Daniel Nations.

According to ISP, Nations was arrested by Colorado law enforcement on Sept. 25, and referred to ISP on Sept. 29 as a potential suspect in the Delphi double-homicide investigation.

This tip led two ISP detectives to travel to El Paso County, Colorado to evaluate this tip on Nations, and ISP reports no information has developed to include or dismiss Nations as a suspect in the Delphi murders.
