Trial Opens for Richard Allen in Delphi Murders

The trial of Richard Allen, accused of murdering 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams in Delphi, Indiana, resumed with significant evidence and witness testimonies. Allen, arrested in October 2022, faces multiple charges including murder and attempted kidnapping linked to the girls' deaths in February 2017. Key evidence presented includes a video from Libby's phone capturing a man, dubbed 'Bridge Guy,' prompting the girls to 'Down the hill,' and testimonies from witnesses who reported seeing a suspicious man near the crime scene. One witness described a man fitting the 'Bridge Guy' description with bloodied clothes and muddy appearance on the day of the murders. The defense faces a challenging case, with experts suggesting the prosecution holds substantial evidence despite the absence of a clear motive. As the trial progresses, it continues to evoke strong emotions within the Delphi community, marking a significant chapter in the long-awaited quest for justice.
