Summary

In October 1978, horror movie audiences were introduced to a new killer, Michael Myers, who dressed in blue with his collar up, carried a knife, and covered his face with a white mask. In February 2017, an eerily familiar figure appeared on the Monon High Bridge in Delphi, IN, a killer dressed in blue with his collar up, one who was carrying a knife, and seemingly had some sort of white scarf or mask that had previously covered his face. Is it just a coincidence, or do these men have more in common than we ever realized?

Are they truly the embodiment of the devil, in the form of the antichrist? Join host Ryan Kraus for part 6 of the Delphi Murders as we go down the hill into the abyss to find the truth about boys who struggle to become men by emotionally exorcising their demons.

Hey everybody welcome back to cold case murder mysteries. I'm your host Ryan Kraus

0:11.6

joining you once again for part six of the Delphi murders.

0:15.0

So we're just going to jump right into this one.

0:17.0

Now in the last episode, I think I left off with talking about rumors related to the crime scene, specifically pertaining to the bodies.

0:26.0

Now, the only thing I saw among the highlighted items from the helicopter footage was Abby. I felt the image of her was recognizable enough to say it could very

well be her. In terms of the claims like a teddy bear being at the scene, one so large it would have been brought beforehand, that might be a little bit over the top.

0:48.0

That probably didn't happen.

0:50.0

But again, we don't know because everything pertaining to the crime scene is a rumor, with the exception of some of the information that might have leaked by way of people who were searching.

1:01.0

No, undoubtedly, if the perpetrator left items at the scene,

1:06.7

meaning beyond the bodies, I believe they would be symbolic of childhood, death, and

1:12.0

rebirth as those are the main themes seemingly present in this

1:16.4

narrative.

1:17.4

I would of course also expect that there would be a religious component to the crime scene.

1:23.8

The area in which they were killed would likely serve not only as a murder scene for him,

1:29.5

but also a makeshift church and womb. I think of the posing of bodies as sort of a funerary

1:36.4

process involving only his narcissistic needs. It's a private funeral, a service for the killer because the child's death he's

1:46.8

mourning is the one still living inside him emotionally who refused to die and

1:52.3

lay at rest.

1:54.4

So this moment for him has emotional importance beyond the rage aspect of his catharsis.

2:02.1

Now after the killings comes thoughts of guilt and mercy. He begins

2:07.8

to reflect so as he can't share his feelings emotionally, like we've talked about extensively, what he will do
