Indiana authorities on Wednesday [identified](http://www.wthr.com/article/bodies-found-near-delphi-tuesday-confirmed-as-missing-13-year-olds "undefined") a pair of bodies they found near the shore as [Abigail Williams and Liberty German](http://time.com/4671589/snapchat-delphi-indiana-missing-girls/ "undefined"), two teenagers who went missing earlier this week.

The 13-year-old girls vanished Monday while they were supposed to be hiking near Delphi, Ind. Before they disappeared, German posted an [eerie Snapchat photo](http://www.theindychannel.com/news/crime/missing-13-year-old-girls-found-in-carroll-county-official-says-its-not-good "undefined") of her friend on a bridge.

Many questions surrounding their deaths still remain. However, the case is being investigated as a double homicide, according to WTHR-TV. Foul play is suspected, Indiana State Police Sgt. Kim Riley said. Authorities said there have not been any arrests yet.
