DELPHI, Ind. (AP) - The FBI says it's using electronic billboards across Indiana to seek information in the killings of two teenage girls.

FBI Supervisory Special Agent Robert Ramsey says several companies are using their digital billboards to seek tips in the killings of 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams.

He says the billboards are displaying photos of the teens, an image of a man considered the main suspect in the killings, and a tip line to enable authorities to spread "the widest blanket possible" to solicit tips from people.

The girls' bodies were found Feb. 14 in a rugged area near a hiking trail, a day after the Delphi teens vanished during a hiking trip about 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis.

Police said Thursday they've received about 3,900 tips in the killings.
