Richard Allen Faces Two Counts Of Murder - Delphi Murders Arrest Update

A man has been arrested and charged with murder in the 2017 killings of 2 teen girls in Indiana, authorities say

A five-and-a-half-year search for a suspect in the killings of two Indiana teens that stretched nationwide ended with the arrest of a local man, authorities said Monday.

How investigators came to arrest 50-year-old Richard M. Allen, of Delphi, will remain a mystery for now, as a court has sealed charging documents and the investigation remains open, but authorities say Allen is charged with two counts of murder in the 2017 slayings of Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14.

The pair went for a hike along Delphi Historic Trails in February of that year but never showed up at a previously arranged time to meet Libby’s dad, police said. Their bodies were found the next day in a wooded area near the trail, about a half mile from the Monon High Bridge where they’d been dropped off, according to police. A grainy video of a man walking and a garbled voice recording were among the scant clues authorities publicized over the years.

Police arrested Allen on Wednesday, according to a news release, and formally charged him Friday before transporting him to White County Jail. He is being held without bail.

2,086 days after the bodies of Libby German and Abby Williams were found in Delphi, an arrest has been made in connection with their death.
