After it became increasingly clear that there was a catfish element to the Delphi murders, we decided to periodically feature interviews with professionals who specialize in that field– so that we can all be better educated about this troubling subject. This week we talk with Tony Godwin and Brandon Poor. Both men are Texas based police officers who specialize in Internet Crimes Against Children or ICAC. 

They work tough cases involving pedophiles and- as you will hear- they speak with the knowledge and insight that only comes through direct experience. 

They are also podcasters. They host CATFISH COPS, a program where they explore the topic of child exploitation with depth, insight and compassion. We highly recommend it. And we appreciate them taking time away from their busy schedules to talk with us.

In this episode we continue our conversation with Courtney Alwine, the Miami County Deputy Prosecutor who led the recently concluded case against Kegan Kline. 

In our first part, we discussed how Courtney first got involved with the case and took the story up to when Kegan Kline decided to plead guilty to all charges. In this part, we pick up the story from there and start with the sentencing hearing that wasn’t– the day Kegan Kline was originally scheduled to be sentenced and he declared that perhaps he didn’t want to plead guilty after all. 

In this episode we discuss Courtney’s feelings about the sentence, her thoughts on the potential second user of the Anthony Shots account and how the delay of Kegan Kline’s arrest may have actually helped strengthen the case against him.

If you’ve followed our episodes on the Kegan Kline case, you will surely know how impressed we have been with the work of Miami County Deputy Prosecutor Courtney Alwine, who took over the prosecution earlier this year. 

In court, she always spoke with an eloquent and intelligent controlled anger. There were moments during the sentencing hearing where she confronted and called out Kegan that we don’t imagine we will ever forget. 

But, of course, what happening in the courtroom is only part of the story. All of us who have followed the case have been curious to hear the rest. While the case was working its way through the system, our only contact with Courtney was to make requests for comment- requests which she politely declined. 

Now that the case is over, we were delighted that she agreed to sit down with us for a detailed interview about it all. In this first part, we cover quite a bit of ground- including what she knows about Delphi, when the Miami County Prosecutor’s Office was first informed about the case, why five of the charges were dropped, what it’s like to work with Dave Vido and why she thinks Kegan pleading guilty was a smart strategic move.

On July 27, 2023, Kegan Kline was sentenced to 40 years in prison for a variety of offenses, most of which were linked to child sexual abuse materials.

On July 29, 2023, we got the opportunity to talk with him and got his thoughts on the sentencing, Delphi and more. He actually did not have much to say about the Delphi case and continues to maintain that he played no role in the murders of Abby and Libby.

On July 27, 2023, Kegan Kline received his sentence for the 25 counts he pled guilty to earlier this year. Prosecutors Courtney Alwine and Jennifer Keifer presented testimony from Christopher Cecil and David Vido of the Indiana State Police as well as Cathy Knight from the Miami County probation office. The witnesses presented horrifying details of the nature of Kline's crimes.

After hearing the testimony and weighing the arguments of the attorneys for the state and for Kline, Judge Timothy Spahr sentenced Kline to 43 years, with three years suspended.

On August 19, 2020, Kegan Kline sat for an interview with police investigators after he was arrested for charges related to child sexual abuse materials. Then the conversation turned to the Delphi murders.

In this episode, we'll read directly from the interview transcript, delving into subjects like:

• Kegan Kline’s repeated claims that he was told he flunked a lie detector test about the Delphi murders in 2017.
• The possibility that the anthony_shots account and Liberty German may have been in extensive contact before the murders.
• Tony Kline's violent acts against children in the past.

Content warning: This episode contains discussion of child molestation, child sexual abuse materials, and the murder of children. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

On August 19, 2020, authorities arrested Kegan Kline. The then 26-year-old Indiana native sat down with two law enforcement officers to go over the charges against him, which centered around a trove of child sexual abuse materials found on his devices.

In this episode, we'll read directly from the interview transcript, delving into subjects like:

• Kegan Kline’s admitted “problem” with a sexual interest in children, and his claim that he failed a polygraph regarding the Delphi murders.
• Investigators’ focus on Kegan Kline and his father, Jerry Anthony or “Tony” Kline.
• Police pushing Kegan Kline to explain the flood of disgusting, horrific abuse videos and images of underaged girls on his devices.
• Kegan Kline’s admission that he destroyed evidence on his phone after police first raided his home about two weeks after the Delphi murders.
• How Kegan Kline possibly sparked Indiana’s largest investigation into child sexual abuse materials.

Who is Kegan Anthony Kline? On December 6, 2021, Indiana State Police brought up a profile known only as "anthony_shots" in connection with the Delphi case. The following day, WISH-TV connected the 27-year-old Indiana man with that profile.

Less than two weeks after the murders of Liberty German and Abigail Williams, investigators raided a residence connected to Kline in Peru, Indiana. In August of 2020, he was hit with a number of felony charges for child molestation and child pornography.

But who exactly is this person? We decided to find out by talking with Dylan Howell, who counted Kline as a friend growing up. Howell spoke to us about his shock over the charges against Kline, possible red flags, and the chance that Kline's crimes are linked to what happened to Abby and Libby in Delphi.

Researching and thinking about the Delphi case requires us all to think about dark subjects most people are not be familiar with– topics such as internet predators and child sexual abuse materials. We feel that it would help us all understand better what happened in Delphi back in 2017 if we were able to get more context in those areas. So we have decided to begin a series of interviews with experts who have spent their careers studying these matters in order to get the benefit of their knowledge. 

We are beginning this endeavor by talking with David Finkelhor. 

Dr. Finkelhor has been researching issues involving child victimization, child maltreatment and family violence since 1977– which is even before there was an internet. He is the Director of Crimes against Children Research Center, Co-Director of the Family Research Laboratory, Professor of Sociology, and University Professor, at the University of New Hampshire. 

At the end of the episode, we will have a few words about next Tuesday’s episode as well as a bit of news about the future of the Murder Sheet.

Recent developments in the Delphi murders indicate that an online predator may have played a role in the double homicide of 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams. Predators have been known to use the internet to catfish, groom, and prey upon underage victims.

In this episode, the Murder Sheet will interview Cathy Frye about one such case that happened in Arkansas in 2002. A 47-year-old man named David Fuller posed as a young man online. He used that persona to grow close to a 13-year-old girl named Kacie Woody. Then, the unthinkable happened.

This episode takes a break from our focus on restaurant homicides, and is part of our intermittent series of episodes on the Delphi case. If you have information on the Delphi murders, send your confidential tip to abbyandlibbytip@cacoshrf.com or call 844-459-5786, 800-382-7537 or 765-564-2413.
