Sketch Timeline

Timeline Created by YellowJacket

Sketches with Statement Timeline

7/17/17 Riley "The sketch is “an artist’s composite of the information collected by all agencies involved in the investigation"

7/19/17 Bryant Trooper Taylor Bryant did not work on the Delphi sketch but has completed 61 sketches for state police since 2008

8/14/17 Holeman "It's actually compiled so it's not just from one person"

4/22/19 Carter "The person depicted in the sketch released on April 22nd more accurately represents the person wanted for the murders

4/22/19 Carter "The new sketch was produced thanks to 'new information and intelligence' collected during the investigation"

4/22/19 ISP "This sketch more accurately depicts the face of the suspect from the video recorded on Liberty German's cell phone

4/22/19 IndyStar "The sketch released on Monday was drawn by Bryant on 2/17/2017, a few days after the victims' bodies were found."

4/22/19 ISP "New 'Face' of the Delphi Murder Suspect. This is the face of the suspect that goes with body of the video captured."

4/24/19 ISP "They are not the same person1. The person depicted in the originally released sketch is not presently a person of interest in this investigation." 1 This is the only source that states that they are not the same person

5/16/19 Carter "Why? All that's happened over these last 30 months. The info we had received, the info that we knew & I hope one day to be able to tell that story"

11/18/19 Riley “We are not disregarding either sketch, we’re looking more towards the 2nd sketch”

11/18/19 Riley >Wagoner: to be clear, the person in the 2nd sketch is believed to be the same person from the video & photographed on the bridge. Is that correct?” >Riley: “we feel that could be correct, yes

12/6/19 Carter "The investigation has evolved & there are things we know that we can't explain…there will be enough similarities in this person when we find him that we'll be able to see it in both"

12/6/19 Kelsi German "I just have a feeling that it's somewhere in the middle"

3/30/20 Bryant “It was a sketch created from a witness (chuckles) that’s about all I can say” (Reporter: "THAT FACE & THAT WITNESS HE’S NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT SINCE THIS IS AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION")

9/18/20 Kelsi German "[newer sketch] is coming from new information that was generated; new technology is what they told us"

4/12/21 Perrine "We still want both sketches to be visible to the public, we’re not eliminating 1 or the other."

2/11/2022 Doug Carter "I think what eventually what we'll be able to do is, is put the face of the murderer up in between those two sketches and we'll be able to merge them together and, and become one."

The Kokomo Crew

The Kokomo Crew drug ring revenge theory started with two locals: Tina Roddel & Michael Phillips. Tina alleges that on the morning of February 13th, a few men in a car showed up in her driveway to pick up her daughter (MA). The car was described as being white (possibly an Accord) with temporary paper plates. The group was on the way to the Monon High Bridge area. She had a bad feeling about the situation so she took photos of the car and wrote down the license plate number. She was later told that the plates were stolen. The theory behind their involvement was formed on Social Media with the information given by the two locals, where it was believed this group was under the bridge and involved in drug activity and that the girls stubbled upon them. Also that Derrick German may have snitched on some of them at one point.

Claims made by Tina :

  • She believed that there were drugs in the trunk of the car.

  • She called Sheriff Leazenby to tip him off about the drugs.

  • Tina said the men with her daughter (MA) were Elijah Cook, Kieghan Callis, Josh Weaver, Tyler Jo French, and possibly Travis Jaenicke. Her son BH was not part of the group.

  • Tina said her daughter called her from the bridge on the 13th and that when MA came home on the 15th she was not in good condition. She alleges that her daughter was raped and beaten by the men as an initiation. It’s rumored it was for the Sons of Odin group. She has also claimed that her daughter came home with a pair of earrings in her pocket that have since been turned over to the FBI.

  • Tina shared that the Delphi murders could have been an act of revenge against Libby’s Dad (DG). Tina believed that DG snitched on her sister Kristy Lynn Martin, Kieghan Callis, Tyler Jo French and Jeff Ragan.
  • It’s rumored that Eric Alter was associated with the crew, along with Abby’s Uncle (DE), Libby’s Dad (DG), and possibly Garrett Kirts & Anthony Greeno.

  • Tina said that Cheyenne & Cheryl were there with the group and may have witnessed the crime.

Robert Teschke

A stop for a defective headlight resulted in the elimination of a mobile methamphetamine lab Saturday night.

After being asked for his driver’s license and car registration, the driver, 29-year-old Robert J. Teschke of Peru, asked Frye to shine his flashlight in the vehicle so he could locate its registration. As he did, the officer observed three backpacks, a glass Mason jar and several empty one-gallon milk cartons inside the Geo.

Frye reported that Teschke appeared nervous and his hand was shaking as he handed the officer his license. Frye then called for Detective Travis Yike and his K-9 Hodo to come to the scene to perform a free-air sniff.

When Yike arrived, he and Hodo began to circle the car. Hodo stopped at the rear of the vehicle, alerting his handler to the presence of illegal narcotics.

As Yike began to search the car, Teschke reportedly told officers he “would save us time” and said there were narcotics in the car, Frye wrote in his report of the incident.

Yike found Coleman camp fuel and empty pseudophedrine boxes in one backpack and other precursors in another pack.

Teschke then told police “to ensure the safety of those involved” that the glass jar contained all the active ingredients to make methamphetamine except for lithium batteries.

Yike then called for assistance from the Indiana State Police Clandestine Lab Team to dispose of the lab.

Teschke was arrested on a class B felony charge of manufacturing methamphetamine and a D felony charge of possession of precursors. Feb 2011

He is also the main suspect in the murder of Ray Hanish.

As part of his original plea agreement, Kirts was required to take a polygraph about any action or knowledge he may have had of the Delphi Murders.

According to a jailhouse interview with Content Creator Open Secrets, Kirts acknowledged that he failed this polygraph test.

He ascertains that he only failed one question: "Have you ever thought about killing anyone?"

Secondary to failing the polygraph, the prosecutor refused his plea agreement.
