Whoever her father was, he didn't play an active role in her life, and Abigail - nicknamed "Abby," for short - had no other siblings.

She had even started taking classes over in Lafayette most specifically, at Purdue University.Īccording to her friend Arika, Libby was also a supportive and loving friend, who was always there to provide words of wisdom or a shoulder to cry on for anyone that needed either.Ībigail Joyce Williams was born on June 23rd, 2003, to her mother, Anna Williams. She says that Libby was "huge on science" and had been inspired to become a science teacher while attending Delphi Community Middle School. In the roughly year-and-a-half since, the two had become inseparable.Īnother friend of Liberty's named Arika Gibson - who always knew Liberty by her nickname, "Libby" - recalled her as being a "band geek" who was very outgoing and incredibly smart.

She had just recently celebrated her 14th birthday ahead of her best friend, Abby - whom she had become close with after playing on the same 7th grade volleyball team. Liberty was attending Delphi Community Middle School, and was in the 8th grade. She also had a love of the outdoors and athletics, and was active in volleyball, softball, soccer, and swimming.

Up until recently, Delphi, Indiana was just a blip on the map: a stopgap town that people would occasionally dip into because of its proximity to other cities - or, on the rare occasion, its scenic parks would attract some day-trippers from out of the region (primarily hikers and outdoorsmen). So while Delphi itself has the reputation for being a small town - you know, the kind where "everybody knows everybody," that whole thing - it is really just part of a larger grid, connected to dozens of other cities and towns. While Delphi has an incredibly small population - less than 3,000 people call Delphi "home" - roughly a quarter-million people live in the region defined as the Lafayette Metropolitan Statistical Area. Located along the Wabach River, Delphi is roughly halfway between Indianapolis and Chicago, to give you a general idea of where it's located.
