Richard Allen Found Guilty in Delphi Murders

Richard Allen, 52, has been found guilty of murdering two teenage girls, Abigail Williams and Liberty German, in Delphi, Indiana, in February 2017. The jury deliberated for nearly 19 hours before reaching a verdict on all counts, which include two counts of murder and two counts of felony murder. Allen faces up to 130 years in prison, with sentencing scheduled for December 20. Prosecutors presented evidence linking him to the crime, including an unspent bullet found at the scene and video footage showing him as the 'bridge guy' seen with the girls shortly before their disappearance. Allen's defense argued that his confessions were coerced and unreliable, asserting that he was mentally unfit during his time in solitary confinement. The case has profoundly impacted the small community, which has been haunted by the unsolved murders for years.
