Delphi is a tight-knit community of nearly 3,000 people, dubbed by the local sheriff as \"small-town USA.\" Main Street runs through the center, with the jail, city courthouse and a library all located within walking distance of each other.

Two years after the double murder shocked the community, Indiana State Police on Monday released that new sketch of the suspect, as well as new audio and video evidence.

The never-before-seen video recovered from Libby's phone shows the suspect walking on the bridge near where the girls were last seen.

\"When you see the video, watch the person's mannerisms as they walk,\" Carter said Monday. \"Do you recognize the mannerisms as being someone you might know?\"

Authorities in 2017 released a grainy image of someone seen on the trail the day the girls went missing along with a chilling recording found on Libby's phone with just three words heard: \"Down the hill.\"

On Monday, police released additional portions of the audio recording from Libby's phone.

While it is hard to decipher what was said in the clip, \"the person talking ... is the person on the bridge with the girls... please listen to it very, very carefully,\" Carter noted.

To former Delphi resident Clint Rayne, it's terrifying to think the suspect lives or works in the community.

\"It makes you wonder if your kids have came in contact with this person,\" he told ABC News after the news conference. \"Does he work at the school? Does he work at McDonald's?\"

Carter, addressing the killer, said at the news conference, \"What will those closest to you think of when they find out that you brutally murdered two little girls, two children? Only a coward would do such a thing.\"

Carter vowed to not stop searching until an arrest is made.
