00:03:02
[Music] [Applause] foreign remains Behind Bars accused of kidnapping and attacking a nine-year-old
00:03:22
girl found chained in his home he's also being investigated in connection with the murder of two eighth grade girls
00:03:29
four years ago we spoke with some of his family members who told us flat out he's
00:03:34
evil he's a monster exactly he is an absolute evil person he's talking about his own brother James Chadwell who was
00:03:43
accused of imprisoning a nine-year-old girl in his basement and is under investigation in the unsolved murders of
00:03:50
teens Libby German and Abby Williams in 2017. do I think that he's capable of that kind of crime absolutely absolutely
00:03:58
he's shown numerous times not only to his friends but his family as well that he has that kind of evil streak to him
00:04:05
chadwell's stepfather also fears the 42 year old ex-con may be the mysterious figure caught on Libby's cell phone
00:04:12
approaching them on an abandoned train trestle in Delphi India Indiana is HE capable probably
00:04:22
you know and should they let him back out on the street not ever throw the key away this time chadwell's brother Ashley
00:04:28
says James tried to drown him when he was four years old he is absolutely capable of killing someone Chadwell has
00:04:36
been in and out of jail since he was a teenager I also just really don't like people I have dogs his body is covered
00:04:44
in tattoos one across his chest says rebellious but this is the tattoo that's drawing a lot of attention today some
00:04:53
see an uncanny resemblance to slain Libby German look at them side by side his brother says that's a relatively new
00:05:02
tattoo I really don't think that he had that tattoo when he got out of prison this is a virtual reality reconstruction
00:05:08
of the moment Libya and Abby were approached by the suspected killer it was made by crime door an app which
00:05:15
recreates the scenes of notorious crimes there's Libby bravely capturing the stranger on her cell phone own now could
00:05:24
investigators finally be closing in on an arrest he should be locked up and never let loose again because he's a
00:05:31
monster [Music] [Applause] from the website fbi.gov under seeking information in the
00:05:51
double homicide case that is known as the Delphi murders it says on February 13 2017 Liberty German age 14 in Abigail
00:06:02
Williams age 13 were hiking on the Delphi Historic Trail near the Monon High Bridge just east of Delphi in
00:06:11
Carroll County Indiana Liberty and Abigail were reported missing to police after their parents were unable to
00:06:19
locate them at the pickup location volunteers subsequently discovered the girl's bodies in the woods east of
00:06:27
Delphi and Carroll County Indiana on the next day February 14 2017. investigators have distributed a
00:06:36
photo of a person observed on the Delphi Historic Trail the photo appears to depict a white male wearing blue jeans a
00:06:46
blue coat or jacket and a hoodie during the course of the investigation evidence
00:06:51
has led investigators to believe that the aforementioned person is suspected of being involved in the murders of
00:06:59
Liberty and Abigail the person depicted in the composite sketch is described as a white male between five foot six
00:07:07
inches tall and five foot ten inches tall weighing 180 to 220 pounds with reddish brown hair his eye color is
00:07:16
unknown the suspect is believed to be between 18 and 40 years old but may appear younger you've asked for it
00:07:26
people want to know about this James Brian Chadwell II the man who is most recently come into the question into the
00:07:37
fold of possibly being the Delphi killer the bridge guy he was arrested on April
00:07:43
19th for abducting a nine-year-old girl and assaulting her inside his home well and yes just comes on our radar but it
00:07:53
seems to me that his name has at least appeared on the radar of the Delphi murder case and as said this man was
00:08:02
arrested but it was late last week mid to late last week where the news started coming out that Carroll County might be
00:08:10
looking at this guy as a possible connection to the Delphi homicides and man I gotta tell you Captain my inbox
00:08:17
was filling up rapidly yes with people who wanted to know more about James Brian Chadwell II wanted us to talk
00:08:25
about him or demand it it's time once again for a Delphi update yes probably the most messages we've ever received as
00:08:34
far as breaking news so we had to take the case that we we already had a research and ready to go and put that on
00:08:41
the back burner to discuss this one so I'm sure there's going to be a few items that maybe we haven't uncovered because
00:08:49
we haven't had that long to dive into this individual but what look we can figure out a couple things from what you
00:08:56
just read five six to five ten does does James fit into that category yes five eight does
00:09:05
he fit into that weight range I would say by looking at his pictures possibly so now we have two criterias met reddish
00:09:17
brown hair I think his hair could pass for that category it's definitely in the brown category
00:09:25
I'll say that so now we got three of the criterias he lives or was living within
00:09:31
15 miles of the murders when he was arrested in April of this year the question then Captain becomes
00:09:40
where would he have been living in 2017 there's some information that we discussed in the last episode in that we
00:09:48
found when looking into this guy that he potentially was living in or at least listed in address
00:09:56
somewhere that he was in Peru right Indiana at the time of the year of 2017. now I'm showing it's about a 37 mile
00:10:09
jaunt from Peru to Delphi the interesting thing here and I don't think that this has to do exactly with this
00:10:18
James Chadwell character but I remember from our previous coverage we were talking about some of the search
00:10:25
warrants that were issued from Carroll County within days of them finding the two girls and I remember us discussing
00:10:34
there was a search warrant that was issued for someone or a residence at least in Peru Indiana within days again
00:10:44
I don't think it is directly tied to this James Chadwell guy but but a weird thing there that yeah one of my sources
00:10:52
says it says it is that this is directly connected to him again though you hear these this misinformation all the time
00:11:01
and there's a couple people that talk to law enforcement in the Delphi murders case early on I do not want to State
00:11:10
their names but you know who you are but supposedly there is a connection between
00:11:17
this Chadwell and these individuals that knew Abby and Libby and and that came forward with information that they gave
00:11:25
to law enforcement is that possibly why Chadwell was on their radar again a lot of the stuff that we're going to bring
00:11:32
up doesn't mean anything it could mean everything or could mean nothing like James Brian Chadwell seems to be
00:11:40
interested in hiking or Bridges and so is it possible that he was somebody that would visit
00:11:49
Delphi to go to their park to hike around we also know that he has trespassing on
00:11:57
his background so is is he somebody that doesn't necessarily stay on the trails but Rome's wherever he wants to
00:12:07
again they were murdered in a part of the park that was not open to the public so a lot of different things but when
00:12:15
they talk to chadwell's family about the arrest and the possible connection to Delphi
00:12:24
both his father and his brothers said look we think he's capable of murder and I think that's pretty
00:12:33
telling not only coming from the father but also the brother but then you get again
00:12:39
conflicting reports because he has a lot of tattoos and some of these tattoos on
00:12:44
his arm they look of like almost like crying children they have no eyes they just so that
00:12:53
there's no there's no eyes in the in the tattoo drawings and there's one where it's a tattoo of a
00:13:02
girl and it looks like she's either her her makeup's running or possibly that she's bleeding from her eyes
00:13:10
and a lot of people think that this looks like Libby from the Delphi murders yeah we talked about uh
00:13:21
on the previous show people doing side by sides of bridge guy and potential suspects and how that's gotten really
00:13:28
blown way out of proportion to an uncomfortable level but I've seen side by sides of Libby German and this tattoo
00:13:37
on this on this uh despicable human being's arm and people saying hey is this a tattoo of Libby German and one
00:13:47
person even posts someone explained this tattoo please someone that knows this man who knows Chadwell please tell us
00:13:55
who the girl on his arm is if not Libby German now well a couple things one I'll
00:14:01
post that picture on our Instagram look anytime we cover a case we post a lot of
00:14:06
pictures from the case on our Instagram or Facebook and you can find those on any of those platforms at True Crime
00:14:13
garage when I look at it again it doesn't look unlike Libby German to me but it also looks so
00:14:21
very plain and nondescript that I don't know that we could say that it is her the tattoo to me almost looks
00:14:30
like a a character of some type right more rather than uh you know hey I know um the love of my life is Julie could
00:14:39
you could you put a picture of you know draw a picture of Julie on my arm well this guy is you know he's a douche and
00:14:46
look so he has this these weird tattoos why would you put that on your body look
00:14:51
I like tattoos I think people should have the freedom to put whatever they want you know draw a bunch of penises if
00:14:57
you want and put it as tattoos all over your body I don't care but this becomes a little suspicious now the claims I
00:15:05
heard was he had this tattoo going all the way back to 2016. obviously would that be of Liberty I would say no if
00:15:14
that was the case but when they talked to his brother about this tattoo his recollection is no he did not have
00:15:23
that to until later until after he got out of jail the last time it looks like to me something from some form of
00:15:32
entertainment I can't put my I can't really put my finger on it I I feel like it's something from a
00:15:39
cartoon from a comic book or a cartoon or a movie Something of of that uh nature it's still just odd
00:15:46
again well it doesn't help his case could mean anything could mean nothing I mean he's just
00:15:53
this guy's scum yeah and we read through the charges that it sounds like he's going to be charged with in the April
00:16:02
19th incident so yeah he I mean he is scum and regardless of how long that list of charges are some of those
00:16:11
charges are going to stick we know that thank God there was a Survivor the person he intended to hurt harm in
00:16:18
whatever manner that was whatever his intent in fact was she survived she will be able to testify against him she will
00:16:27
be able to stand up in a court of law and point across the room and say that is the man that abducted me that's the
00:16:36
man that attacked me in in her opinion um which which is should be 100 validated it she says he was going to
00:16:47
kill me yeah in my personal opinion that's not even gonna happen they're not going to
00:16:53
go to trial I mean he's the fact that he has um the added habitual uh charges a habitual offender charges that he'll
00:17:04
be facing I think you were saying something like 5 to 20 years extra they're not they're not going to go to
00:17:10
trial they'll make they'll make a deal which is interesting well maybe I mean depending on what his representation is
00:17:18
if you got a strong case against a guy and you think you got a slam dunk there's no need to deal with this dude
00:17:27
you drag his ass into court and you you charge him with all the charges you think you gotta slam dunk with and you
00:17:33
put him away for as long as you possibly can no I understand that but because of
00:17:38
the habitual offender charges that ramp up the amount of years they can decide to make a deal so they don't have
00:17:49
to put this nine-year-old through a trial and I think that's what they'll do I think that's the responsible thing to do
00:17:57
because because what I'm saying is they have that Ace in their back pocket oh by
00:18:02
the way we're charging you with these five or six counts but on top of that we can get you another 20 years and we'll
00:18:08
put this girl on the stand and we'll get the 20 years extra or we can just not have her be on
00:18:15
the stand and we just won't throw we'll just we won't put the icing on the cake we won't throw on another 20 years but
00:18:22
but he's looking at life in prison pretty much no matter what um I don't think so I mean it could be I
00:18:31
think what I read was 25 20 to 25 years but again this news is all coming out rapid and and pretty fast you see I saw
00:18:42
a higher um but yeah who knows I mean and and so there's all these again back to the
00:18:47
tattoo some people are saying he got in 2016 his brother's saying I don't think so I think that it's a lot newer uh it
00:18:55
doesn't matter I I think I'd say yes but again is it kind of a just a generic idea of a
00:19:04
tattoo so I don't know how much is there I put more weight to the fact that this guy is
00:19:10
interested spending time Outdoors and going to different parks and he has several pictures of him
00:19:20
on a bridge that's just not something that you're gonna find on everybody's Facebook page
00:19:26
I also think that this guy doesn't have a lot of friends so I just don't think there's going to
00:19:33
be a lot of sources you can go to to be like do you know when this guy got this tattoo do you know where he was at on
00:19:41
this date do you I just don't think there's going to be enough uh sources to go on because I think this
00:19:49
guy is such a piece of [ __ ] that he's probably basically alienated himself from from
00:19:55
most people in his life well and he's had some time in and out of jail in and out of prison in his adult life which
00:20:03
um hopefully got in the way of his uh social life yeah and hopefully stop some of his
00:20:10
criminal activity but um let's see what else is a good match for Chadwell well you talked about
00:20:18
some of the physical descriptions how they match up a potentially match up or fall within the realm of and we didn't
00:20:27
get to his age so you know they say they're looking for someone 18 to 40 might look younger he certainly Falls in
00:20:35
that range he's 42 years old and was arrested on April 19th of this year but we got to keep in mind this is four
00:20:41
years after the fact of the Delphi double murder so he would have been 38 at the time and I do believe my my
00:20:50
humble goat opinion is that he does look a little younger than his than his actual uh listed age here so he I agree
00:21:00
it's a big window they gave us to work with Captain but he he does definitely fall within inside that window and
00:21:08
you and I think does look a little younger than his his uh date of birth yeah it's a
00:21:15
it's a tricky one because there's so much and maybe it's just because there's been so many and I couldn't name them
00:21:22
all and I couldn't tell you how many times in the last four years that also I'm getting notifications on Twitter
00:21:30
some on Facebook then next thing you know text messages emails what about this guy for Delphine there
00:21:38
hasn't been one that I that has really hit my gut that said this is it this is today's the day right like they say hmm
00:21:48
and I think this one was interesting though because when I first started getting
00:21:54
bombarded with the emails and the messages on social media my gut feeling was this isn't the guy and then you
00:22:01
start just going through little pieces of evidence just what we know on the surface level
00:22:08
and you go well this none of this stuff is ruling this individual out now he might have some airtight alibi
00:22:15
but this guy is such a horrible individual there's nobody out there that is going
00:22:23
to be this guy's Alibi unless they're a legit Alibi well and as you pointed out you know his own father and brother both
00:22:33
now on record saying yeah we think he's probably capable of something like the the Delphi double homicides of course we
00:22:42
we should remind everybody that obviously they're saying this after the fact after they know that he abducted
00:22:50
this nine-year-old girl locked her up in his basement and in her words was trying
00:22:56
to kill her right so of course they're factoring that in you really wonder if you could hop in the time machine and
00:23:03
and go back to 2018 uh 2017 in in April or March or or June of that year and asked these Two Fellas
00:23:14
the same question if they would in fact have the same answer now you said friends or or what kind of people could
00:23:22
we talk to there is somebody and I'm going to leave out there whatever they're posting this under because well
00:23:31
I don't have to tell you my reasons but I'm going to leave that that out there is a post that I saw on Reddit that says
00:23:38
some guy on Facebook says he used to work with him being James Brian Chadwell and again he seems
00:23:47
to be going under Brian Chadwell on most Social Circles used to work with Chadwell in Kokomo Indiana around the
00:23:55
time of the Delphi murders and says that they suspected him of being involved and this person claims that he
00:24:05
tried to call the tip line many times but it was through the FBI and their comments was it was a joke look I can't
00:24:15
speak to what this person's experience was right we don't know if this is all factual information we can say this
00:24:24
if you're if you're calling in a tip to your local authorities on on any case it
00:24:30
doesn't have to be Delphi but any case but if it were Delphi the FBI whomever you decide to call don't exp this
00:24:38
doesn't mean that they they jump into the car call all available units and Sirens are blazing and they go you know
00:24:46
100 mile an hour down the road to this individual's house that you call in the tip right they're going to to their
00:24:53
their work behind the scenes do their due diligence they're probably going to check you out too to make sure that
00:24:58
you're not some nut job or some some person that's trying to throw this individual under the bus for reasons
00:25:07
unknown for reasons that have nothing to do with that particular case at all but
00:25:12
that's why again I go my gut is saying I don't know about this guy a couple things kind of line up
00:25:20
but then you sent me a message that just kind of hit me and I stopped and I'm not
00:25:25
the most religious man or spiritual man and I all I said was I just said I hope this is it
00:25:32
oh yeah you know for the family I I hope my gut is wrong about this guy but the more that you talk about him and the
00:25:41
more you look into them the more your gut is kind of being quiet about it and that's why I believe
00:25:48
like you said tips or whatever this individual this numbnuts was on a list maybe a big list of people but then his
00:25:59
name pops up in the the news and now all law enforcement around Delphi is going hey now now this guy now
00:26:10
all the the sirens are gone now it's all hands on deck to figure out if this creep
00:26:18
is responsible for two murders here's the thing that I often wonder about too especially when we talk about somebody
00:26:25
like this Chadwell character I have to remind everyone and remind myself in the process and this is
00:26:33
something that we've talked about here on about this case specifically multiple times we know the outcome
00:26:41
of what went down that day near the Monon High Bridge we do not know what the intent of the perpetrator was
00:26:50
we do not know what the goal would have been if you will of bridge guy could it have been to abduct could it
00:26:59
have been to move them to another area was it in fact to kill someone anyone or targeted individual or individuals there
00:27:09
that day near the bridge or near the park we don't know that we won't know that until this guy is in handcuffs
00:27:17
and tried and convicted but with Chadwell what I would really like to know we got
00:27:25
so many people covering it we're trying to cover it ourselves here today I want to know
00:27:32
when I and I will I'm hoping this thing goes to trial because if so I will be tuning in if if able to do so if not
00:27:41
I'll be reading the new Snippets that are coming out and I'm with ucapt and I think if it
00:27:48
does go to trial it's going to be pretty quick and clean it won't take a long time to convict this guy I hope this guy
00:27:55
folds I think if they put enough pressure on him this idiot likes to talk I want to know yeah we've seen some of
00:28:03
his social stuff he's not the uh Brightest Bulb out there but anyway I want to know more
00:28:12
about this lock on the basement door because it's described as like a chain type lock in some of the news outlets
00:28:20
that we've seen and I understand that depending on where you live and depending on the structure that you live
00:28:27
in there are reasons to have such a lock on your basement door but the overwhelming majority of the time
00:28:36
there is not there is very little if any reason at all to even have a lock on your basement door let alone one that
00:28:43
locks from the upstairs keeping whatever it is downstairs locked up right and what I'm getting at is look a lot of
00:28:55
these dudes there are crimes of opportunity they see a potential victim they see someone
00:29:03
that's vulnerable and they take this opportunity that presented itself to them to this monster
00:29:11
and they seize the moment and they capture that person and they do whatever it is that they do or what they wanted
00:29:18
to do but here I have to believe my suspicion is 100 almost 100 captain this crime of opportunity of tricking
00:29:31
this girl inside to pet the dogs when did that lock and why did that lock why was it put on that door
00:29:44
if it wasn't there when this Yahoo moved in he put it on there with the purpose of
00:29:50
what he did on April 19th with putting someone confining someone in that space [Music]
00:29:59
that is a different level of sadistic that is a different level of evil in my mind
00:30:07
someone who's making preparations and waiting for that opportunity to present itself
00:30:15
and when it does the monster knows I've been preparing for this I'm ready I can get away with this I can win I can
00:30:24
get the result that I wanted I can carry out those sick sadistic fantasies that I've been thinking about
00:30:32
[Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] all right we are back cheers please we
00:31:08
want to hear from you on Instagram Facebook Twitter does anybody have does any of
00:31:14
our listeners out there have any information that they can share with us that we can share with law enforcement
00:31:21
to help qualify or disqualify and look look it's not lost on us that everything's lost on us well
00:31:29
actually you're right most things are lost on us hell we've been locked up in a garage for five years yeah but it's
00:31:36
not somebody's let us out this is uh speculation the reason why you're so curious about this chain being on the
00:31:45
doors because we we have one keeping us we thought it was smart to put one on the outside but we now we can't get out
00:31:52
and so we understand this is a lot of speculation what does him posting that hey I've slept under a bridge for five
00:31:57
days ten days whatever he said hey I'm I'm out camping hey out enjoying the outdoors with the nice bonfire oh he's
00:32:06
had he's got this tattoo you know people go are these tattoos of of girls crying
00:32:12
on his arms and you know there's a hot debate over did he have these tattoos in 2016 before
00:32:21
the Delphi murders did he did he not have him until after the fact there seems to be people posting stuff that
00:32:28
that would argue that either way I think he could be Bridge guy in the tattoo have nothing to do with that case at all
00:32:36
with uh with that murder at all no no I agree and I I think here here's where I'm at with old Chadwell
00:32:45
is one I think we should light his face on fire and put it out with the shovel a couple times
00:32:52
I mean that wouldn't be killing him um and just see if he'd start answering our questions after that
00:32:59
but since we're not allowed to do that because that's illegal in this country where I'm at with him is I haven't found
00:33:06
a no yet height hair color weight proximity a lot of different things there's no
00:33:17
no yet as far as to throw him off the list I mean if you came back and said well he's
00:33:23
six eight I go okay we'll throw him off the list right but there's nothing that's sticking out
00:33:30
to me I don't know if there's anything sticking out to you well no there's nothing sticking out as a no for me and
00:33:37
there's nothing you know that says a 100 yes as well again he's just a agree the newest guy
00:33:44
in a growing list of suspects and you know what and for for those that hate speculation
00:33:51
whatever that's fine I get it because there is a lot of bad speculation out there in a lot of cases and a lot in
00:34:00
this Delphi case as well but all of these people that have ended up on this suspect list and again it is a suspect
00:34:09
list that's been compiled by the public in the press and the media not so much law enforcement other than law
00:34:16
enforcement has with every one of these guys said yes this is an individual we are aware of yes this is an individual
00:34:22
that we are looking at a link between our case and what this guy has done but every one of these people deserves to be
00:34:31
on the Delphi suspect list it's a it's a list of [ __ ] okay of [ __ ] people uh
00:34:42
yeah it's just frustrating and I hope um I was kind of hoping that maybe after the weekend because you know the
00:34:52
rest happened but last Monday so I was hoping hey in seven days maybe we'd know a little bit more or maybe he
00:34:59
would start talking because again he seems to be a person that doesn't mind talking but my other
00:35:06
issue with him being a talker is I think a lot of the stuff that he posts on social media is complete
00:35:13
horseshit where I think he says all this stuff about you know I mean he talks constantly about wanting a real woman
00:35:22
and a real woman's over the age of 30. okay so you're saying you want a real woman over the age of 30 but you're
00:35:29
going to rape a nine-year-old you know his actions don't line up at all with some of his words and we talk about
00:35:38
speculation Captain I I do want to point out some look again we don't know the answers to what went down that day in
00:35:48
Delphi we won't until this thing is solved and someone is convicted but I've seen some silliness there's
00:35:55
always been some silliness with some really out there kind of wild theories and Delphi I'm always very off put when
00:36:04
somebody is recommending that somebody that looks like Bridge Guy this is this could be the guy because he looks like
00:36:10
him but oh he lives in California and he's lived there for the last 20 years never even been to Indiana couldn't even
00:36:18
find it on a map yeah but one one of the new silly things that are coming out and
00:36:24
this is all Chadwell related is that some people are speculating that bridge guy is is holding a puppy or
00:36:34
multiple puppies under the jacket under the blue coat I've even seen it suggested that that's why they took a
00:36:42
video of this guy rather than calling 9-1-1 look again we don't know the answers but
00:36:48
that seems like a an interesting thought in theory to have well look I mean we've
00:36:54
always questioned DNA but I would say that if you're an avid pit bull lover and a pit bull owner
00:37:03
guess what you'd normally have on your person you have Pitbull hair so would they be able to find any kind of
00:37:12
dog hair at the scene of the crime they might have that evidence that would be almost
00:37:19
as good as having TNA any kind of domesticated animal uh hairs at the scene would be
00:37:28
interesting to know of but I want to go through this one post here that I found on Reddit there's a bunch of activity
00:37:36
about Chadwell on Reddit as well as web sleuths and all kinds of give the poster
00:37:42
credit all kinds of websites out there yes I will this this poster is you in shit's creek
00:37:51
uh and I thought this was was a lot shit's creek I thought this was a brilliant post here uh it says why pois
00:38:00
Persons of Interest like Chadwell are viable and it goes on to say I think a lot of people are hung up on
00:38:09
the idea of bridge guy being some well thought out serial killer that always acts on the same Mo in every crime they
00:38:18
commit at its core we are likely dealing with someone who carries out sadistic impulsive behavior and the outcome of
00:38:27
each incident differs based on unforeseen variables the only definite things we know about
00:38:35
the Delphi crime is that it ended in a double homicide and was committed by someone that accompanies a pixelated
00:38:44
video slash photo and distorted audio everything else regarding this crime is speculation since law enforcement has
00:38:53
kept all other details close to the chest even my comment not me but uh shit's creek comment even my comment about BG
00:39:03
Bridge guy Behavior being impulsive is speculation because there is no concrete public evidence that this individual
00:39:12
premeditated it or acted on impulse and that is precisely why any Persons of Interest that at bare minimum targets
00:39:23
younger kids in either an abduction scenario or attempted murder skyrockets to the top of the list
00:39:32
a person of interest doesn't need to commit a crime in the woods use a hatchet knife or ax as rumored have it
00:39:40
happen during the daytime victim exactly 13 or 14 years of age two victims etc etc a profile can be substantially
00:39:51
broader than that because we don't know the facts of the crime scene and the motive behind it it's entirely plausible
00:39:59
that bridge guy sole intention was abduction and sexual assault and the situation in Delphi drastically morphed
00:40:07
and got out of hand resulting in Murder with immediate remorse with no sexual assault occurring it's also entirely
00:40:16
plausible that bridge guy's sole intention was murder it's that ambiguity that makes suspects
00:40:23
like Chadwell viable he lives in the area visually isn't a far cry from the sketch and has shown to commit sadistic
00:40:33
acts towards kids you can't discredit a person of interest because their recent victim was nine years old versus Abby
00:40:41
and Libby being 14. a child to someone in their 40s could easily be 8 to 15 years old we just don't know I am hoping
00:40:50
it is him for the sake of justice but if it isn't law enforcement work continues
00:40:56
just remember when dealing with mentally unstable and Psychopathic individuals it
00:41:02
isn't always cookie cutter and I think that's good I think that's a good reminder for people out there that
00:41:07
saying it is Chadwell or it isn't Chadwell right we don't know and we're we're here to speculate it on it because
00:41:16
we've been told to the email was blowing up the inbox was blowing up and we had people saying look did you see what's
00:41:24
happening with Delphi there's movement in the case we've had people say well we just don't want to always cover cases
00:41:32
that are cold or cases that are solved we want to we want to talk about stuff that's current as
00:41:38
well so when these breaking news happen and they're big we want to put the work in
00:41:45
and I think like you said I mean if you just go down the laundry list hype can match weight can match hair
00:41:53
color can match location can match um age age can match ugliness ugliness can match creepy guy
00:42:03
and and then again then I think you start getting into weirder ones if you want to start talking about the tattoos
00:42:09
and you know whether or not this individual likes going to Bridges and stuff like that I think those are on the
00:42:16
outside of things but once you get past five or six you go okay well this is definitely somebody that they're going
00:42:22
to look into but I I think uh if it is him we'll know probably within a week because there'll be either extra charges
00:42:31
or some statement from police I hope they just don't go cold on it because I don't think that's fair to the
00:42:38
public especially the public that has been so adamant on getting as many resources as they can to the FBI to
00:42:48
Indiana State Police and and others involved in this case correct me if my memory is wrong here Captain but
00:42:56
my general off the cuff kind of off the rip thinking is that Daniel Nations is really the only one the the man that was
00:43:07
a sexual offender in Indiana and apprehended in Colorado for weird bizarre behavior
00:43:14
he's the only one that I recall them not saying that they cleared but I think they had some remark of like well we're
00:43:22
moving on from Daniel Nations yeah I want to say that uh Carter said something to the effect of
00:43:30
he's not somebody we're interested in at this time right and out of the suspects
00:43:37
that we listed that are the publicly known ones he and my memory is the only one that they they had any kind of
00:43:44
statement that could be pointing to that he's not our guy that we've somewhat cleared him yeah but I think he's the
00:43:52
only one that they've ever came forward and say we're looking into Nations as a person of interest where other people
00:43:59
have have had to ask the question about a specific person before right they mentioned the name so you go from
00:44:06
Nations to this and what really has drawn me out again something we don't know is the medius calling him a suspect
00:44:14
or or they get in that term from law enforcement and if they're getting that term from law enforcement I
00:44:22
think there's probably a handful of other items about this dickweed that we just aren't privy to it sounds to me and
00:44:31
I'm just going off of the the words and and the the what what words were used in
00:44:37
the communications back and forth between law enforcement and the media it almost looks like simultaneously captain
00:44:44
that the the media suspected Chadwell and as soon as they reached out to law enforcement they're saying yeah this is
00:44:51
somebody that we've been made aware of and we're looking at so almost simultaneously he may have come on the
00:45:00
radar of both at the same time or at least he's moved up the priority list very quickly
00:45:07
very recently with this arrest on a April 19th but I think the shits Creek poster
00:45:14
yeah is a very intelligent post I think it's an intelligent post and I think it brings up you know some other questions
00:45:20
and some other thoughts you know when we talk about we talked about how is Bridge
00:45:25
guy a serial killer and and his post very very intelligently points out that we don't know what the intentions were
00:45:33
of bridge guy that day right did did he kill as uh just because he had to or felt he had to on that day
00:45:42
we don't know but if he was was it revenge or right and if it were a serial killer type and that's you know one
00:45:51
thing that I know a little more about than the average Joe out there we've seen these types
00:45:58
yeah they they have an ideal victim type but it doesn't have to be their ideal victim type right we've seen that time
00:46:09
and time again Bundy killed a young girl most of his other victims were roughly College age girls a lot of them happen
00:46:17
to have brown hair so did he have a type yes is he willing to step outside of that to fill fulfill these urges these
00:46:26
sadistic horrible urges that he has yes yeah most of them are that's what you're
00:46:31
saying we saw that with BTK we've seen it time and time again with several of these serial killers now would he stop
00:46:39
can he stop because that was a question that we posed earlier if in fact it's always been the the overwhelming
00:46:48
majority's belief that bridge guy is either a Serial offender serial killer who is who has committed these crimes
00:46:57
before Delphi or was just starting off and was going to commit them after Delphi so would he
00:47:07
stop can he stop and I think that's an interesting question because when we looked and profiled somebody like the
00:47:15
still unsolved Zodiac Killer we observed a lot of things that suggested maybe after the Paul Stein
00:47:24
murder that he did in fact stop and if he did the most likely reason that he stopped
00:47:30
was because he almost got caught he was almost identified Bridge guy was almost caught almost identified
00:47:39
hell he may have been interviewed by police he may have been interviewed by police
00:47:44
on more than one occasion but when you commit a double homicide and then you see your picture on the TV
00:47:52
days later and then a couple days after that you hear your voice on the TV that's powerful stuff
00:48:02
so would he stop could he stop if in fact he was a Serial offender [Music] [Applause]
00:48:19
thank you so much for listening thanks for subscribing and telling a friend again any information that you think
00:48:27
that we don't have on this James Brian Chadwell please go to our blog leave the information there or you can leave the
00:48:37
information on any of our social media's Twitter Instagram or Facebook and our previous Delphi coverage is Delphi
00:48:47
murders back in episodes 110 and 111 for may 2017. we covered it again in July of
00:48:57
2019 with a four-part series and last year in 2020 we had a Delphi murders discussion and then
00:49:06
just a couple months ago Captain Delphi murders four years later episodes 468 and 469 that was in March of this year
00:49:17
also we have Kelsey German who is Libby's older sister she was in fact the one that dropped the girls off that day
00:49:27
near the Monon High Bridge she recently had a tweet that was in regards to the arrest and suspicion that now surrounds
00:49:37
James Brian Chadwell II and she said that there's a resemblance okay there was a resemblance with d n c e p e t b
00:49:49
and several others obviously listing some other public media suspects you can see these people in a simple Google
00:49:58
search of the girl she says they all did bad things but they weren't our bad guy
00:50:04
imagine if every time someone sent me a picture or a name of a person I got my hopes up thinking that could be him I'd
00:50:15
still be sitting here brokenhearted but with no hope left and even more devastated she goes on to say please no
00:50:22
more side by sides no more names turn them in let law enforcement do their job and people that listen to our other show
00:50:33
off the Record OTR will tell you that we reported that just last month there was an increase
00:50:42
to the reward fund to find the poor perpetrator of the Delphi double homicides from 2017 an anonymous donor
00:50:52
contributed 100 000 bringing the total in the reward fund to 325 000 to turn in Bridge guy to make this
00:51:06
arrest and make this conviction stick if you want to submit a tip again they prefer that you use the email which is
00:51:18
Abby and Libby tip at c-a-c-o-s-h-r-f.com there is a tip line if you prefer to call and that would be
00:51:28
to call the Indiana State Police at 800-382-7537 and until next week be good be kind and don't live it
