Indiana State Police said detectives uncovered the “anthony_shots” profile while investigating the murders of the two girls. The profile was used from 2016-2017 on social media applications including Snapchat and Instagram.

The creator of the fake profile used photos of a known male model to try to to solicit nude images from young girls, get their addresses and try to meet with them, according to police.

Police have identified the model in the images on the “anthony_shots” profile but said the man is not a person of interest in the investigation.

On Monday, state police said that detectives now want to talk with anyone who communicated with the “anthony_shots” profile on the social media app Yellow, which is currently known as “Yubo.”

Investigators are looking to expand the list of social media applications used by “anthony_shots.”

Anyone who has communicated with the “anthony_shots” profile is asked to contact police by emailing the tip line abbyandlibbytip@cacoshrf.com or by calling (765) 822-3535.
