The bodies of the teenage girls were discovered along the Monon Trail leading to the Monon High Bridge Trail in February 2017, a day after they went missing.
Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter announced the arrest of pharmacy worker Richard Allen, 50, in connection with the murders.
Mr Allen was formally arrested on October 26 and charged with two counts of murder two days later. He has pleaded not guilty.
The girls' families listen as Indiana State Police announce the arrest of Mr Allen.
Liberty's grandparents Becky and Mike Patty address reporters in March 2017 at Carroll County Courthouse in Delphi.
Court documents have temporarily sealed to avoid jeopardising the 'integrity' of the investigation but Mr Carter has asked the public to continue sharing tips on the case or about Mr Allen.
The girls' families said they are still trying to figure out how to move forward.
The murders still haunt the girls' hometown of Delphi, a small community of about 3,000 people.
