DELPHI, Ind. -- Former Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee and team owner Jim Irsay have donated $97,000 to the reward money to find the person who killed Abigail Williams and Libby German in Delphi, Indiana.

In a video released Wednesday morning, McAfee and Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter pleaded with the public to call in tips to help find the killer.

"Please share this as much as possible," McAfee said. "From Doug and myself, we thank you."

The reward was at $103,000 on Tuesday, before McAfee and Irsay bumped the reward to $200,000. The money will be awarded for information leading to the arrest of a suspect.

The bodies of Williams, 13, and German, 14, were found in a wooded area near the Delphi Historic Trail on Feb. 14.  The girls were reported missing the day before by family after they didn't return from a hike.

Since that time, authorities have released a picture of a suspect, which was taken by Liberty on her cell phone. She also captured the man's voice saying "down the hill." 

If you would like to donate to the reward fund, you can mail a check to the Indiana State Police Alliance, 1415 Shelby Street, Indianapolis, IN, 46203. Put "Delphi Reward" on the memo line of your check

Indiana State Police are still encouraging anyone with information on the case, no matter how insignificant, to call the Delphi Homicide Investigation Tip Line at (844) 459-5786 or 1-800-225-5324 (800-Call FBI). Tips can also be emailed to Abbyandlibbytip@cacoshrf.com. Information can be reported anonymously.

They have released a picture of a suspect and an audio clip that they are hoping someone will recognize. You can see that picture and hear that clip below.
