Richard Allen Found Guilty of Delphi Murders

Richard Allen, 52, has been convicted on all counts in the brutal murders of Delphi teens Liberty German and Abigail Williams, who vanished on February 13, 2017. The jury found him guilty of two counts of murder and two counts of felony murder, relating to kidnapping, after just four days of deliberation. Prosecutors presented evidence including confessions made by Allen, which his defense argued were coerced due to his deteriorating mental health while incarcerated. The trial revealed chilling details, including a video capturing the moment 'Bridge Guy' approached the girls, and evidence tying Allen to the crime scene, such as an unspent bullet cartridge. Allen now faces a maximum sentence of 130 years in prison, marking a significant conclusion to a case that has haunted the Delphi community for over seven years. The verdict provides a measure of closure for the victims' families and the local community devastated by this tragedy.
