4. Delphi, Indiana: The Lingering Mystery

The serene trails of Delphi, Indiana, were shattered in 2017 by the brutal murders of teenagers Abby Williams and Libby German. The case, heavily documented by news and specials like HLN/CNN's "The Delphi Murders: Down the Hill," plunged this rural Indiana town into an ongoing nightmare. The documentary examines the community's desperate search for answers, the unprecedented public involvement via Libby's fateful phone video, and the toll an unsolved double homicide takes on a small, once-peaceful locale. Delphi became a symbol of modern cold cases, where citizen efforts intertwine with tireless police work.
