Authorities investigating the unsolved 2017 homicides of 2 teen girls in Indiana announce potential connection between their slayings and a fake social media account under the profile 'anthony_shots.'

The social media profile was in use from 2016 to 2017, including on the platforms Snapchat and Instagram,. The profile used “images of a known male model” who portrayed himself as wealthy and owning sports cars. The creator of the profile, police said, communicated with “juvenile females to solicit nude images, obtain their addresses, and attempt to meet them."

Authorities urge anyone who communicated or attempted to meet the creator of the social media profile to contact investigators. Police announced in 2019 other developments in their probe, including how investigators suspected whoever killed the teens had close ties to the community.“Directly to the killer — who may be in this room — we believe you are hiding in plain sight,” Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter said then during a news conference. “We likely have interviewed you or someone close to you.”
